Our Warranty
Subject to the conditions of this Limited Warranty, Sony Ericsson warrants this Product to be free
from defects in design, material and workmanship at the time of its original purchase by a consumer,
and for a subsequent period of one (1) year.
What We Will Do
If, during the warranty period, this Product fails to operate under normal use and service, due to defects
in design, materials or workmanship, Sony Ericsson authorised distributors or service partners, in the
country/region* where you purchased the Product, will, at their option, either repair or replace the Product
in accordance with the terms and conditions stipulated herein.
Sony Ericsson and its service partners reserve the right to charge a handling fee if a returned Product
is found not to be under warranty according to the conditions below.
Please note that your personal settings/downloads might be lost when the Product is repaired or replaced.
Conditions
1. The warranty is valid only if the original proof of purchase issued to the original purchaser by an,
for this Product, Sony Ericsson authorised dealer, specifying the date of purchase and serial
number**, is presented with the Product to be repaired or replaced. Sony Ericsson reserves the
right to refuse warranty service if this information has been removed or changed after the original
purchase of the Product from the dealer.
2. If Sony Ericsson repairs or replaces the Product, the repaired or replaced Product shall be warranted
for the remaining time of the original warranty period or for ninety (90) days from the date of repair,
whichever is longer. Repair or replacement may involve the use of functionally equivalent
reconditioned units. Replaced parts or components will become the property of Sony Ericsson.
3. This warranty does not cover any failure of the Product due to normal wear and tear, or due
to misuse, including but not limited to use in other than the normal and customary manner, in
accordance with the Sony Ericsson instructions for use and maintenance of the Product. Nor does
this warranty cover any failure of the Product due to accident, software or hardware modification
or adjustment, acts of God or damage resulting from liquid. A rechargeable battery can be
charged and discharged hundreds of times. However, it will eventually wear out – this is not a
defect. When the talk-time or standby time is noticeably shorter, it is time to replace your battery.
Sony Ericsson recommends that you use only batteries and chargers approved by Sony Ericsson.
4. Since the cellular system on which the Product is to operate is provided by a carrier independent
from Sony Ericsson, Sony Ericsson will not be responsible for the operation, availability, coverage,
services or range of that system.
5. This warranty does not cover Product failures caused by installations, modifications, or repair
or opening of the Product performed by a non-Sony Ericsson authorised person.
6. The warranty does not cover Product failures which have been caused by use of accessories
or other peripheral devices which are not Ericsson or Sony Ericsson branded original accessories
intended for use with the Product.
7. Tampering with any of the seals on the Product will void the warranty.
8. THERE ARE NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, OTHER
THAN THIS PRINTED LIMITED WARRANTY. ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING
WITHOUT LIMITATION THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THIS
LIMITED WARRANTY. IN NO EVENT SHALL SONY ERICSSON OR ITS LICENSORS
BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE
WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST PROFITS OR COMMERCIAL
LOSS, TO THE FULL EXTENT THOSE DAMAGES CAN BE DISCLAIMED BY LAW.
