Limited Warranty
Limited Warranty Statement: SMC Networks, Inc. (“SMC”) warrants its products to be 
free from defects in workmanship and materials, under normal use and service, for the 
applicable warranty term. All SMC products carry a standard 90-day limited warranty from 
the date of purchase from SMC or its Authorized Reseller. SMC may, at its own discretion, 
repair or replace any product not operating as warranted with a similar or functionally 
equivalent product, during the applicable warranty term. SMC will endeavor to repair or 
replace any product returned under warranty within 30 days of receipt of the product. 
The standard limited warranty can be upgraded to a Limited Lifetime* warranty by 
registering new products within 30 days of purchase from SMC or its Authorized Reseller. 
Registration can be accomplished via the enclosed product registration card or online via 
the SMC Web site. Failure to register will not affect the standard limited warranty. The 
Limited Lifetime warranty covers a product during the Life of that Product, which is 
defined as the period of time during which the product is an “Active” SMC product. A 
product is considered to be “Active” while it is listed on the current SMC price list. As new 
technologies emerge, older technologies become obsolete and SMC will, at its discretion, 
replace an older product in its product line with one that incorporates these newer 
technologies. At that point, the obsolete product is discontinued and is no longer an 
“Active” SMC product. A list of discontinued products with their respective dates of 
discontinuance can be found at:
http://www.smc.com/index.cfm?action=customer_service_warranty.
All products that are replaced become the property of SMC. Replacement products may 
be either new or reconditioned. Any replaced or repaired product carries either a 30-day 
limited warranty or the remainder of the initial warranty, whichever is longer. SMC is not 
responsible for any custom software or firmware, configuration information, or memory 
data of Customer contained in, stored on, or integrated with any products returned to 
SMC pursuant to any warranty. Products returned to SMC should have any 
customer-installed accessory or add-on components, such as expansion modules, 
removed prior to returning the product for replacement. SMC is not responsible for these 
items if they are returned with the product.
Customers must contact SMC for a Return Material Authorization number prior to 
returning any product to SMC. Proof of purchase may be required. Any product returned 
to SMC without a valid Return Material Authorization (RMA) number clearly marked on 
the outside of the package will be returned to customer at customer’s expense. For 
warranty claims within North America, please call our toll-free customer support number 
at (800) 762-4968. Customers are responsible for all shipping charges from their facility to 
SMC. SMC is responsible for return shipping charges from SMC to customer.
