SUMMARY OF MANUFACTURER’S LIMITED HARDWARE
WARRANTY & AGREEMENT (WITH BINDING ARBITRATION AND
CLASS ACTION WAIVER IN THE U.S.)
Microsoft warrants that the Microsoft Product will not malfunction under normal use conditions for one year
from the date of original purchase from an authorized retailer. The warranty excludes normal wear and tear,
cosmetic damage, damage caused by external causes including being dropped, exposed to liquid, inadequate
ventilation, use not in accordance with Microsoft’s instructions, hacking, viruses or other malware, and damage
caused by repairs or modiÀcations by someone other than Microsoft or a Microsoft-authorized service
provider. If your local law gives you any implied warranty, including of merchantability, its duration is
the same as this warranty. Some states or provinces do not allow limitations on how long an implied
warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you. To obtain warranty service, Àrst use the
troubleshooting tips at support.microsoft.com. If they do not solve your problem, follow the online process at

microsoft.com/warranty. By purchasing or using the Microsoft Product, you agree to its terms.
If you live in or, if a business, your principal place of business is in the United States, please read the
binding arbitration clause and class action waiver in Section 11 of the Limited Warranty & Agreement
at aka.ms/hw‑warr‑arbitration. It affects how disputes concerning your Microsoft Product, its price,
advertising, marketing, communications, your purchase transaction, billing, or the Limited Warranty &
Agreement are resolved. It binds you and Microsoft. Parts of the arbitration clause are described below.
Any dispute not resolved by informal negotiation or in small claims court will be resolved only by
individual binding arbitration under the Federal Arbitration Act before a neutral arbitrator whose
decision will be Ànal—not before a judge or jury, and not in a class action lawsuit, class-wide
arbitration, private attorney‑general action, or any other proceeding where someone acts in a
representative capacity. Individual proceedings may not be combined without the consent of all
parties. The American Arbitration Association will conduct the arbitration under its Consumer or Commercial
Arbitration Rules. Section 11 of the Limited Warranty & Agreement contains the rest of the terms, instructions,
and forms for notifying Microsoft of a dispute or commencing arbitration.
