MCDS DISCLAIMS ALL STATUTORY AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND WARRANTIES AGAINST HIDDEN OR LATENT DEFECTS, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

WHAT IS COVERED BY THIS WARRANTY?

MCDS's published guidelines include but are not limited to information contained in technical specifications, user manuals and service communications.

WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY THIS WARRANTY?

This warranty does not apply to any non-MCDS provided hardware products or any software, even if packaged or sold with MCDS hardware. Manufacturers, suppliers, or publishers, other than MCDS, may provide their own warranties to you but MCDS, in so far as permitted by law, provides their products "AS IS". Software distributed by MCDS with or without the MCDS brand (including, but not limited to system software) is not covered by this warranty. Please refer to the licensing agreement accompanying the software for details of your rights with respect to its use. MCDS does not warrant that the operation of the MCDS Product will be uninterrupted or error-free. MCDS is not responsible for damage arising from failure to follow instructions relating to the MCDS Product's use.

This warranty does not apply: (a) to consumable parts, such as batteries, unless failure has occurred due to a defect in materials or workmanship; (b) to cosmetic damage, including but not limited to scratches, dents and broken plastic on ports; (c) to damage caused by use with another product; (d) to damage caused by accident, abuse, misuse, liquid contact, fire, earthquake or other external cause; (e) to damage caused by operating the MCDS Product outside MCDS's published guidelines; (f) to damage caused by service (including upgrades and expansions) performed by anyone who is not a representative of MCDS; (g) to an MCDS Product that has been modified to alter functionality or capability without the written permission of MCDS; (h) to defects caused by normal wear and tear or otherwise due to the normal aging of the MCDS Product, or (i) if any serial number has been removed or defaced from the MCDS Product.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

IF YOUR MCDS PRODUCT IS CAPABLE OF STORING SOFTWARE PROGRAMS, DATA AND OTHER INFORMATION, YOU SHOULD MAKE PERIODIC BACKUP COPIES OF THE INFORMATION CONTAINED ON THE STORAGE MEDIA TO PROTECT THE CONTENTS AND AS A PRECAUTION AGAINST POSSIBLE OPERATIONAL FAILURES.

Before receiving warranty service, MCDS or its agents may require that you furnish proof of purchase details, respond to questions designed to assist with diagnosing potential issues and follow MCDS's procedures for obtaining warranty service. Before submitting your MCDS Product for warranty service you should maintain a separate backup copy of the contents of its storage media, remove all personal information that you want to protect and disable all security passwords if any.

DURING WARRANTY SERVICE IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE CONTENTS OF THE MCDS PRODUCT'S STORAGE MEDIA WILL BE LOST, REPLACED OR REFORMATTED. IN SUCH AN EVENT MCDS AND ITS AGENTS ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOSS OF SOFTWARE PROGRAMS, DATA OR OTHER INFORMATION CONTAINED ON THE STORAGE MEDIA OR ANY OTHER PART OF THE MCDS PRODUCT SERVICED.

Following warranty service your MCDS Product or a replacement product will be returned to you as your MCDS Product was configured when originally purchased, subject to applicable updates. You will be responsible for reinstalling all other software programs, data and information. Recovery and reinstallation of other software programs, data and information are not covered under this warranty.

WHAT WILL MCDS DO IN THE EVENT THE WARRANTY IS BREACHED?

If during the Warranty Period you submit a valid claim to MCDS. MCDS will, at its option, (i) repair the MCDS Product using new or previously used parts that are equivalent to new in performance and reliability, (ii) replace the MCDS Product with a product that is at least functionally equivalent to the MCDS Product and is formed from new and/or previously used parts that are equivalent to new in performance and reliability.

MCDS may request that you replace certain user-installable parts or products. A replacement part or product, including a user-installable part that has been installed in accordance with instructions provided by MCDS, assumes the remaining warranty of the MCDS Product or ninety (90) days from the date of replacement or repair, whichever provides longer coverage for you. When a product or part is replaced or a refund provided, any replacement item becomes your property and the replaced or refunded item becomes MCDS's property.

HOW TO OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE?

Please access and review the online help resources described below before seeking warranty service. If the MCDS Product is still not functioning properly after making use of these resources, please contact an MCDS representative. An MCDS representative will help determine whether your MCDS Product requires service and, if it does, will inform you how MCDS will provide it.

Online information with details on obtaining warranty service is provided below.

WARRANTY SERVICE OPTIONS

MCDS will provide warranty service through one or more of the following options:

(i) Carry-in service. You may return your MCDS Product to an MCDS Office location offering carry-in service. Service will be performed at the location, or MCDS Distributor may send your MCDS Product to an MCDS Repair Service ("MCRS") location to be serviced. Once you are notified that service is complete, you will promptly retrieve the MCDS Product from the MCDS Office location, or the MCDS Product will be sent directly to your location from the MCRS location.

(ii) Mail-in service. If MCDS determines that your MCDS Product is eligible for mail-in service, Customer / Consumer ("you") may need to  prepare waybills and if applicable, packaging material, so that you may ship your MCDS Product to an MCRS  location in accordance with MCDS's instructions. Once service is complete, the MCRS location will return the MCDS Products to you. MCDS will pay for shipping to your location if all instructions are followed.

(iii) Do-it-yourself (DIY) parts service. DIY parts service allows you to service your own MCDS Product. If DIY parts service is available in the circumstances, the following process will apply.

(a) Service where MCDS requires return of the replaced product or part. MCDS may require a credit card authorization as security for the retail price of the replacement product or part and applicable shipping costs. If you are unable to provide credit card authorization, DIY parts service may not be available to you and MCDS will offer alternative arrangements for service. MCDS will ship a replacement product or part to you with installation instructions, if applicable, and any requirements for the return of the replaced product or part. If you follow the instructions, MCDS will cancel the credit card authorization, so you will not be charged for the product or part and shipping to and from your location. If you fail to return the replaced product or part as instructed or return a replaced product or part that is ineligible for service, MCDS will charge your credit card for the authorized amount.

(b) Service where MCDS does not require return of the replaced product or part. MCDS will ship you free of charge a replacement product or part accompanied by instructions on installation, if applicable, and any requirements for the disposal of the replaced product or part.

(c) MCDS is not responsible for any labor costs you incur relating to DIY parts service. Should you require further assistance, contact MCDS at the telephone number listed below.

MCDS reserves the right to change the method by which MCDS may provide warranty service to you, and your MCDS Product's eligibility to receive a particular method of service. Service will be limited to the options available in the country where service is requested. Service options, parts availability and response times may vary according to country. You may be responsible for shipping and handling charges if the MCDS Product cannot be serviced in the country it is in. If you seek service in a country that is not the country of purchase, you will comply with all applicable import and export laws and regulations and be responsible for all custom duties, G.S.T. and other associated taxes and charges.
