Warranty

What Is Covered: Epson America, Inc. (“Epson”) warrants to the original retail purchaser that the Epson label-printing device and its consumables and accessories covered by this limited warranty statement (each, a

“product”), if purchased and operated only in the United States, Canada, or

Puerto Rico, will be free from defects in workmanship and materials for a period of one (1) year from the date of original purchase, in the case of the label-printing device, and for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of original purchase, in the case of its consumables or accessories.

Consumables include label and tape rolls and cassettes. Accessories include an AC adaptor. For consumables, the warranty covers only mechanical defects in workmanship and materials. For warranty service, you must provide proof of the date of original purchase.

What Epson Will Do To Correct Problems: Should your Epson product prove defective during the warranty period, please call the Epson

Connection at (562) 276-7245 (U.S. and Puerto Rico) or (905) 709-2567

(Canada) for warranty repair instructions and return authorization. An Epson service technician will provide telephone diagnostic service to determine whether the product requires service. If service is needed, Epson will, at its option, exchange or repair the product without charge for parts or labor. If

Epson authorizes an exchange for the defective unit, Epson will ship a replacement product to you, freight prepaid, so long as you use an address in the United States, Canada, or Puerto Rico. Shipments to other locations will be made freight collect. You are responsible for securely packaging the defective unit and returning it to Epson within five (5) working days of receipt of the replacement. Epson requires a debit or a credit card number to secure the cost of the replacement product in the event that you fail to return the defective one. If Epson authorizes repair instead of exchange,

Epson will direct you to send your product to Epson or its authorized service center, where the product will be repaired and sent back to you. You are responsible for packing the product and for all costs to and from the Epson authorized service center. When warranty service involves the exchange of the product or a part, the item replaced becomes Epson property. The replacement product or part may be new or refurbished to the Epson standard of quality, and, at Epson's option, may be another model of like kind and quality. Exchange products and parts assume the remaining warranty period of your original product covered by this limited warranty.

What This Warranty Does Not Cover: This warranty covers only normal use in the United States, Canada, or Puerto Rico. Using this product for continuous production or similar high duty purposes is not considered normal use; damage, maintenance or service from such use will not be covered under this warranty. This warranty is not transferable. This warranty does not cover damage to the Epson product caused by parts or supplies not manufactured, distributed or certified by Epson. This warranty does not cover third party parts, components, or peripheral devices added to the

Epson product after its shipment from Epson, e.g., dealer or user-added boards or components. Epson is not responsible for warranty service should the Epson label or logo or the rating label or serial number be removed or should the product fail to be properly maintained or fail to function properly as a result of misuse, abuse, improper installation, neglect, improper shipping, damage caused by disasters such as fire, flood, and lightning, improper electrical current, software problems, interaction with non-Epson products, or service other than by an Epson Authorized Servicer. If a claimed defect cannot be identified or reproduced, you will be held responsible for the costs incurred.

THE WARRANTY AND REMEDY PROVIDED ABOVE ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN

LIEU OF ALL OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES INCLUDING, BUT NOT

LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, NON-

INFRINGEMENT OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. SOME LAWS DO

NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES. IF THESE LAWS

APPLY, THEN ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED TO THE

WARRANTY PERIOD IDENTIFIED ABOVE. UNLESS STATED HEREIN, ANY

STATEMENTS OR REPRESENTATIONS MADE BY ANY OTHER PERSON OR FIRM

ARE VOID. IN NO EVENT SHALL EPSON OR ITS AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY

SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM

THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE EPSON PRODUCT, WHETHER RESULTING

FROM BREACH OF WARRANTY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY. IN NO EVENT

SHALL EPSON OR ITS AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND IN

EXCESS OF THE ORIGINAL RETAIL PURCHASE PRICE OF THE PRODUCT.

In Canada, warranties include both warranties and conditions.

Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, and some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations and exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may have other rights which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
