Nortel standard warranty for hardware is one (1) year. Nortel warrants software materials to be defect free for
90 Days from time of purchase. Nortel requires purchasing the software subscription if a customer would like
to receive new WLAN—Wireless Security Switch (23x0), Nortel WLAN — Management System software.
This limited warranty extends only to you the original purchaser of the Product.
Exclusive Remedy
Your sole remedy under the limited warranty described above is, at Nortel’s sole option and expense, the
repair or replacement of the non-conforming Product or refund of the purchase price of the non-conforming
Products. Nortel’s obligation under this limited warranty is subject to compliance with Nortel’s then-current

Nortel. Exchange Products not returned to Nortel will be invoiced at full Product list prices. Replacement
Products may be new, reconditioned or contain refurbished materials. In connection with any warranty

Warranty Claim Procedures
Should a Product fail to conform to the limited warranty during the applicable warranty period as described
above, Nortel must be notified during the applicable warranty period in order to have any obligation under the
limited warranty.
The End Customer or their designated reseller must obtain a Return Material Authorization number (RMA
number) from Nortel for the non-conforming Product and the non-conforming Product must be returned to
Nortel according to the then-current RMA procedures. The End Customer or their designated reseller is
responsible to ensure that the shipments are insured, with the transportation charges prepaid and that the RMA
number is clearly marked on the outside of the package. Nortel will not accept collect shipments or those
returned without an RMA number clearly visible on the outside of the package.
