You are responsible for the cost of shipping, packing product, and insurance (if you desire). You are also responsible for loss or damage to this Product in shipping.

What Brother will do: If the problem reported concerning your Machine is covered by this warranty and if you first reported the problem to an Authorized Service Center within the applicable warranty period, Brother’s Authorized Service Center will repair or replace the Machine at no charge to you for parts or labor (please note that you will be charged labor costs for replacement of Printed Circuit Boards). The decision as to whether to repair or replace the Machine is made by Brother in its sole discretion. Brother reserves the right to supply a refurbished or remanufactured replacement Machine and use refurbished parts provided such replacement products conform to the manufacturer’s specifications for new product/parts. The repaired or replacement Machine will be returned to you freight prepaid or made available for you to pick up at a conveniently located Authorized Service Center.

The foregoing are your sole (i.e., only) and exclusive remedies under this warranty.

What happens when Brother elects to replace your Machine: When a replacement Machine is authorized by Brother, and you have delivered the Machine to an Authorized Service Center, the Authorized Service Center will provide you with a replacement Machine after receiving one from Brother. The replacement Machine you receive (even if refurbished or remanufactured) will be covered by the balance of the warranty period remaining on the original Product, plus an additional thirty (30) days. You will keep the replacement Machine that is sent to you and your original Machine shall become the property of Brother.

You should retain a copy of the return shipping bill, signed by the courier.

Limitations: Brother is not responsible for damage to or loss of any equipment, media, programs or data related to the use of this Product. Except for repair or replacement as described above, Brother shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental or consequential damages or specific relief.
