HOW TO OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE

To obtain warranty service for the Product (purchased in its original sealed packaging), 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 to the designated ICS center. (See below for information regarding how to contact

ICS in your region.) Please be prepared to provide:

1. Your name, mailing address, email address and telephone numbers

2. Proof of purchase

3. Model name and product identification number found on the Product

4. if applicable, a description of the computer system including the brand and model

5. An explanation of the problem

The ICS 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.
