3com 10002211 Manuel D’Utilisation

3Com warrants its hardware products to be free from defects in workmanship and materials, under normal 
use and service, for the following lengths of time from the date of purchase from 3Com or its Authorized 
Reseller:

If a product does not operate as warranted above during the applicable warranty period, 3Com shall, at its 
option and expense, repair the defective product or part, deliver to Customer an equivalent product or part 
to replace the defective item, or refund to Customer the purchase price paid for the defective product. All 
products that are replaced will become the property of 3Com. Replacement products may be new or 
reconditioned. Any replaced or repaired product or part has a ninety (90) day warranty or the remainder of 
the initial warranty period, whichever is longer.

3Com shall not be responsible for any software, firmware, information, or memory data of Customer 
contained in, stored on, or integrated with any products returned to 3Com for repair, whether under 
warranty or not.

3Com warrants that the software programs licensed from it will perform in substantial conformance to the 
program specifications therefor for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of purchase from 3Com or its 
Authorized Reseller. 3Com warrants the media containing software against failure during the warranty 
period. No updates are provided. The sole obligation of 3Com with respect to this express warranty shall be 
(at the discretion of 3Com) to refund the purchase price paid by Customer for any defective software 
products, or to replace any defective media with software which substantially conforms to applicable 3Com 
published specifications. Customer assumes responsibility for the selection of the appropriate applications 
program and associated reference materials. 3Com makes no warranty or representation that its software 
products will work in combination with any hardware or applications software products provided by third 
parties, that the operation of the software products will be uninterrupted or error free, or that all defects in 
the software products will be corrected. For any third-party products listed in the 3Com software product 
documentation or specifications as being compatible, 3Com will make reasonable efforts to provide 
compatibility, except where the noncompatibility is caused by a “bug” or defect in the third party’s product.

Standard warranty service for hardware products may be obtained by delivering the defective product, 
accompanied by a copy of the dated proof of purchase, to the 3Com Corporate Service Center or to an 
Authorized 3Com Service Center during the applicable warranty period. Standard warranty service for 
software products may be obtained by telephoning the 3Com Corporate Service Center or an Authorized 
3Com Service Center, within the warranty period. Products returned to the 3Com Corporate Service Center 
must be preauthorized by 3Com with a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number marked on the outside 
of the package, and sent prepaid, insured, and packaged appropriately for safe shipment. The repaired or 
replaced item will be shipped to Customer, at the expense of 3Com, not later than thirty (30) days after 
receipt of the defective product by 3Com.

IF A 3COM PRODUCT DOES NOT OPERATE AS WARRANTED ABOVE, CUSTOMER’S SOLE REMEDY FOR 
BREACH OF THAT WARRANTY SHALL BE REPAIR, REPLACEMENT, OR REFUND OF THE PURCHASE PRICE 
PAID, AT THE OPTION OF 3COM. TO THE FULL EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, THE FOREGOING WARRANTIES 
AND REMEDIES ARE EXCLUSIVE AND ARE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, TERMS, OR CONDITIONS, 
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, EITHER IN FACT OR BY OPERATION OF LAW, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING 
WARRANTIES, TERMS, OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND 
SATISFACTORY QUALITY. 3COM NEITHER ASSUMES NOR AUTHORIZES ANY OTHER PERSON TO ASSUME 
FOR IT ANY OTHER LIABILITY IN CONNECTION WITH THE SALE, INSTALLATION, MAINTENANCE, OR USE OF 
ITS PRODUCTS.

3COM SHALL NOT BE LIABLE UNDER THIS WARRANTY IF ITS TESTING AND EXAMINATION DISCLOSE THAT 
THE ALLEGED DEFECT IN THE PRODUCT DOES NOT EXIST OR WAS CAUSED BY CUSTOMER’S OR ANY THIRD 
PERSON’S MISUSE, NEGLECT, IMPROPER INSTALLATION OR TESTING, UNAUTHORIZED ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR 
OR MODIFY, OR ANY OTHER CAUSE BEYOND THE RANGE OF THE INTENDED USE, OR BY ACCIDENT, FIRE,
