This limited warranty shall only apply if the Product is used in conjunction with compatible
computers, peripheral equipment and software. Canon USA shall have no responsibility for such
items except for compatible Canon brand peripheral equipment covered by a separate warranty
(“Separate Warranty”). Repairs of such Canon brand peripheral equipment shall be governed by the
terms of the Separate Warranty. Non-Canon brand equipment and software that may be distributed
with the Product are sold “as is” and without warranty of any kind by Canon USA, including any
implied warranty regarding merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, and all such warranties
are disclaimed. The sole warranty, if any, with respect to such non-Canon brand items is given by
the manufacturer or producer thereof.
This limited warranty covers all defects encountered in normal use of the Product and does not apply
in the following cases:
(a) Loss of or damage to the Product due to abuse, neglect, mishandling, improper packaging
by you, alteration, accident, electrical current fluctuations, improper use, failure to follow
operating or maintenance instructions in, or environmental conditions prescribed in, Canon
USA’s user’s manual or other documentation, or services performed by someone other than
a Canon USA repair facility or ASF. Without limiting the foregoing, dropping the Product,
scratches, and abrasions will be presumed to have resulted from misuse, abuse or failure to
operate the Product as set forth in the user’s manual or other documentation for the Product.
(b) Use of parts, media, software or supplies (other than those sold by Canon USA), including
non-Canon ink cartridges or refilled ink cartridges, that cause damage to the Product or
cause abnormally frequent service calls or service problems.
(c) If the Product has had its serial number or dating defaced, altered or removed.
ANY SYSTEM SOFTWARE (WHETHER FACTORY LOADED ON THE PRODUCT OR
CONTAINED ON THE SOFTWARE DISKETTES OR CD-ROMS ENCLOSED WITH, OR
ACCOMPANYING, THE PRODUCT), AND ANY UTILITY SOFTWARE, DISTRIBUTED WITH OR
FOR THE PRODUCT, IS SOLD “AS IS” AND WITHOUT WARRANTY BY CANON USA. THE SOLE
WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO SUCH SOFTWARE IS CONTAINED IN THE SOFTWARE
MANUFACTURER’S LICENSE AGREEMENT DISTRIBUTED THEREWITH, INCLUDING ANY
LIMITATIONS AND DISCLAIMERS THEREON. PLEASE CONTACT CANON USA IMMEDIATELY
IF YOU HAVE NOT RECEIVED A COPY OF THE SOFTWARE MANUFACTURER’S LICENSE
AGREEMENT.
NO IMPLIED WARRANTY, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, APPLIES TO THE PRODUCT AFTER THE
APPLICABLE PERIOD OF THE EXPRESS LIMITED WARRANTY STATED ABOVE, AND NO
OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTY OR GUARANTY, EXCEPT AS MENTIONED ABOVE, GIVEN BY
ANY PERSON OR ENTITY WITH RESPECT TO THE PRODUCT SHALL BIND CANON USA, OR
ITS ASF. (SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED
WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.) CANON USA
SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR LOSS OF REVENUES OR PROFITS, INCONVENIENCE, EXPENSE
FOR SUBSTITUTE EQUIPMENT OR SERVICE, STORAGE CHARGES, LOSS OR CORRUPTION
OF DATA, OR ANY OTHER SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES CAUSED
BY THE USE, MISUSE, OR INABILITY TO USE THE PRODUCT REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL
THEORY ON WHICH THE CLAIM IS BASED, AND EVEN IF CANON USA OR ITS ASF HAS BEEN
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. NOR SHALL RECOVERY OF ANY KIND
AGAINST CANON USA OR ITS ASF BE GREATER IN AMOUNT THAN THE PURCHASE PRICE
OF THE PRODUCT CAUSING THE ALLEGED DAMAGE. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING,
YOU ASSUME ALL RISK AND LIABILITY FOR LOSS, DAMAGE OR INJURY TO YOU AND YOUR
PROPERTY AND TO OTHERS AND THEIR PROPERTY ARISING OUT OF THE POSSESSION,
USE, MISUSE, OR INABILITY TO USE THE PRODUCT SOLD BY CANON USA NOT CAUSED
SOLELY AND DIRECTLY BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF CANON USA, OR ITS ASF. (SOME STATES
DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.) THIS
LIMITED WARRANTY SHALL NOT EXTEND TO ANYONE OTHER THAN THE ORIGINAL
