3. This warranty is good only to the original purchaser
of the product during the warranty period as long
as it is in the U.S, including Alaska, Hawaii, U.S.
Territories and Canada.
4. The external housing and cosmetic parts shall

warranty terms.
5. Upon request from LG, the consumer must provide
information to reasonably prove the date of
purchase.
6. The customer shall bear the cost of shipping the
product to the Customer Service Department of LG.
LG shall bear the cost of shipping the product back

under this limited warranty.
2. WHAT THIS WARRANTY DOES
NOT COVER :
1. Defects or damages resulting from use of the

manner.
2. Defects or damages from abnormal use, abnormal
conditions, improper storage, exposure to moisture

not the fault of LG, including damage caused by
shipping, blown fuses, spills of food or liquid.
3. Breakage or damage to antennas unless caused
directly by defects in material or workmanship.
4. That the Customer Service Department at LG was
not notified by consumer of the alleged defect or
malfunction of the product during the applicable
limited warranty period.
5. Products which have had the serial number
removed or made illegible.
6. This limited warranty is in lieu of all other

3. WHAT LG WILL DO:
LG will, at its sole option, either repair, replace or
refund the purchase price of any unit that does
not conform to this limited warranty. LG may
choose at its option to use functionally equivalent
reconditioned, refurbished or new units or parts
or any units. In addition, LG will not re-install or
back-up any data, applications or software that
you have added to your phone. It is therefore
recommended that you back-up any such data or
information prior to sending the unit to LG to avoid
the permanent loss of such information.
4. STATE LAW RIGHTS :
No other express warranty is applicable to
this product. THE DURATION OF ANY IMPLIED
WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED
WARRANTY OF MARKETABILITY, IS LIMITED TO
THE DURATION OF THE EXPRESS WARRANTY
HEREIN. LG INFOCOMM INC. SHALL NOT BE
LIABLE FOR THE LOSS OF THE USE OF THE
PRODUCT, INCONVENIENCE, LOSS OR ANY
OTHER DAMAGES, DIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL,
ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF, OR INABILITY
TO USE, THIS PRODUCT OR FOR ANY BREACH
OF ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY,
INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF
MARKETABILITY APPLICABLE TO THIS PRODUCT.
Some states do not allow the exclusive of
limitation of incidental or consequential damages

rights and you may also have other rights which
vary from state to state.
