Limited Warranty for Intel® Desktop Boards, Intel® Mobile Boards, and Intel® Workstation Boards

Subject to the exclusions and limitations contained herein, Intel warrants to the purchaser of the Product (defined herein as the Intel®Desktop Board, Intel® Mobile Board or Intel® Workstation Board contained in this box and all of its various components, but excluding stand-alone semiconductor component products (including but not limited to processors and chipsets) and software delivered with or as part of the Product) in its original sealed packaging (“Original Purchaser”) as follows: if the Product is properly used and installed, it will be free from defects in material and workmanship and will substantially conform to Intel’s publicly available specifications for a period of three (3) years beginning on the date the Product was purchased in its original sealed packaging. This Limited Warranty applies only when the Product is evaluated with an Intel microprocessor. SOFTWARE OF ANY KIND DELIVERED WITH OR AS PART OF THE PRODUCT IS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED “AS IS” UNLESS SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED FOR OTHERWISE IN ANY SOFTWARE LICENSE ACCOMPANYING THE SOFTWARE.

If the Product which is the subject of this Limited Warranty fails during the warranty period for reasons covered by this Limited Warranty, Intel, at its option, will:

REPAIR the Product by means of hardware and/or software; OR

REPLACE the Product with another product, OR, if Intel is unable to repair or replace the Product,

REFUND the then-current value of the Product at the time a claim for warranty service is made to Intel under this Limited Warranty.

THIS LIMITED WARRANTY, AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES THAT MAY EXIST UNDER APPLICALE STATE, NATIONAL, PROVINCAL OR LOCAL LAW, APPLY ONLY TO YOU AS THE ORIGINAL PURCHASER OF THE PRODUCT.

Extent of Limited Warranty

Intel does not warrant that the Product, whether purchased stand-alone or integrated with other products, including without limitation semi-conductor components, will be free from design defects or errors known as “errata.” Current characterized errata are available upon request. Further, this Limited Warranty does NOT cover:

any costs associated with the replacement or repair of the Product, including labor, installation or other costs incurred by you, and in particular, any costs relating to the removal or replacement of any Product soldered or otherwise permanently affixed to any printed circuit board or integrated with other products; OR

damage to the Product due to external causes, including accident, problems with electrical power, abnormal, mechanical or environmental conditions, usage not in accordance with product instructions, misuse, neglect, alteration, repair, improper installation, or improper testing; OR

any Product which has been modified or operated outside of Intel’s publicly available specifications or where the original product identification markings (trademark or serial number) has been removed, altered or obliterated from the Product.

How to Obtain Warranty Service

To obtain warranty service for the Product, you may contact your original place of purchase in accordance with its instructions or you may contact Intel.

To request warranty service from Intel, you must contact the Intel Customer Support (“ICS”) center in your region within the warranty period during normal business hours (local time), excluding holidays and return the Product and all of its various components to the designated ICS center. You may be charged a $25.00 per incident fee (USA only) for technical support inquiries related to the Product. (See below for information on how to contact ICS in your region.) Please be prepared to provide: (1) your name, mailing address, email address, telephone numbers and, in the USA, valid credit card information; (2) proof of purchase; (3) model name and product identification number found on the Product; and (4) an explanation of the problem. The Customer Service Representative may need additional information from you depending on the nature of the problem.

Upon ICS’s verification that the Product is eligible for warranty service, you will be issued a Return Material Authorization (“RMA”) number and provided with instructions for returning the Product to the designated ICS center. When you return the Product to the ICS center, you must include the RMA number on the outside of the package. Intel will not accept any returned Product without an RMA number, or that has an invalid RMA number, on the package. You must deliver the returned Product to the designated ICS center in the original or equivalent packaging, with shipping charges pre-paid (within the USA), and assume the risk of damage or loss during shipment. Freight charges and/or handling fees may apply if the Product for which you are requesting warranty services was not sold via authorized distribution in your country/region. (For a definition of country/region, contact the ICS center in your region or go to www.intel.com/support.)

Intel may elect to repair or replace the Product with either a new or reconditioned Product or components, as Intel deems appropriate. The repaired or replaced product will be shipped to you at the expense of Intel within a reason­able period of time after receipt of the returned Product by ICS. The returned Product shall become Intel’s property on receipt by ICS. The replacement product is warranted under this written warranty and is subject to the same limitations and exclusions for ninety (90) days or the remainder of the original warranty period, whichever is longer. If Intel replaces the Product, the Limited Warranty period for the replacement Product is not extended.

ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE LIMITED WARRANTY PERIOD. NO WARRANTIES APPLY AFTER THAT PERIOD.

Some states (or jurisdictions) do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.

THIS LIMITED WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS THAT VARY BY STATE OR JURISDICTION.
