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

manner.
2. Defects or damages from abnormal use, abnormal

3. WHAT LG WILL DO:
LG will, at its sole option, either repair, replace or

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

OTHER DAMAGES, DIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL,
ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF, OR INABILITY

OF ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY,
INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF
MARKETABILITY APPLICABLE TO THIS PRODUCT.
Some states do not allow the exclusive of
