for instructions regarding where to return the Product. Before calling for service,
please check the user’s manual. A check of the Product controls and features may
save you a service call.

Except as provided by applicable law, you assume the risk of loss or damage
during transit and transportation and are responsible for delivery or handling charges
incurred in the transport of Product(s) to the service location. VTech will return
repaired or replaced product under this limited warranty to you, transportation,
delivery or handling charges prepaid. VTech assumes no risk for damage or loss of
the Product in transit.

If the Product failure is not covered by this limited warranty, or proof of purchase
does not meet the terms of this limited warranty, VTech will notify you and will
request that you authorize the cost of repair and return shipping costs for the repair
of Products that are not covered by this limited warranty.

What must you return with the Product to get warranty service?

1.

Return the entire original package and contents including the Product to the VTech
service location along with a description of the malfunction or difficulty;

all of VTech’s responsibilities regarding the product.

There are no other express warranties. No one is authorized to make modifications to
this limited warranty and you should not rely on any such modification.

State Law Rights: This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also
have other rights, which vary from state to state.

Limitations: Implied warranties, including those of fitness for a particular purpose and
merchantability (an unwritten warranty that the product is fit for ordinary use) are limited
to one year from date of purchase. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an
implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.

In no event shall VTech be liable for any indirect, special, incidental, consequential,
or similar damages (including, but not limited to lost profits or revenue, inability to
use the product, or other associated equipment, the cost of substitute equipment,
and claims by third parties) resulting from the use of this product, some states do
not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the
