Barnes & Noble NOOK User Guide
This Limited Warranty also does not cover cosmetic damage or normal wear and tear. This Limited Warranty does
not apply to NOOKs sold as used, refurbished or reconditioned, except to the extent that such NOOK is a certified
pre-owned NOOK that was purchased directly from B&N or from a B&N authorized reseller of certified pre-owned
NOOKs. This Limited Warranty will be void if the Serial Number on your NOOK has been removed, tampered with
or defaced or if your NOOK has been opened or serviced without authorization, tampered with, altered or modi-
fied. Please note that opening the back cover of your NOOK to change the battery, external SD card or back cover
will void this Limited Warranty, except to the extent that such opening is done through a customer-accessible opening
and in accordance with the instructions provided with the NOOK.
This Limited Warranty applies to your NOOK only (i.e., the hardware), and not to the software within your NOOK.
Please refer to the NOOK® TERMS OF SERVICE for your rights and remedies with respect to such software.
Similarly, this Limited Warranty does not cover downloaded data or materials, or accessories and peripherals, except
as expressly provided above.

No employee or representative of B&N or its affiliates or any third party is authorized to make any modification,

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER B&N NOR ITS AFFILIATES NOR ITS LICENSORS
WILL BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL,
PUNITIVE OR OTHER INDIRECT DAMAGES ARISING FROM, RELATING TO OR CONNECTED WITH YOUR
PURCHASE OR USE OF YOUR NOOK, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE

WITHOUT LIMITATION, NEGLIGENCE, TORT, CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, PRODUCT DEFECT OR MIS-
REPRESENTATION, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OCCURRING, AND EVEN IF
ANY REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above exclusion
may not apply to you.
Applicable Law
This Limited Warranty is valid only in the United States of America. The laws of the State of New York, U.S.A. will
apply to this Limited Warranty, though the laws of your state of residence may apply to any tort claims and any
