THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS EXPRESSED IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, THE IMPLIED WARRANTY AGAINST INFRINGEMENT, AND OF ALL OTHER OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITIES ON AMD’S PART, AND AMD NEITHER ASSUMES NOR AUTHORIZES ANY OTHER PERSON TO ASSUME FOR AMD ANY OTHER LIABILITIES.

This Limited Warranty does not apply to any AMD Desktop Kit where AMD determines that the defect or non-conformance was caused by any of the following: (i) use of a heatsink/fan not provided or expressly recommended by AMD or otherwise conforming to the applicable AMD thermal design documentation requirements; (ii) improper use, operation or modification outside of the AMD Specifications; (iii) abuse, negligence, or improper handling, installation or testing; (iv) accident, loss or damage in transit; (v) overclocking the Product (even when enabled by AMD); (vi) design defects or errors in the Product disclosed as Errata in AMD technical documents found at www.amd. com/en/support/tech-docs; (vii) defects in the board, computer system or other product into which the AMD Desktop Kit was incorporated; (vii) unauthorized repair or alteration by a person other than AMD; or (viii) any other external factors beyond the control of AMD. Further, this Limited Warranty provides no coverage against security vulnerabilities or security threats, including intentional misconduct by third parties.

AMD does not warrant that your AMD Desktop Kit will be free from design defects or errors known as “errata”.

This Limited Warranty shall be null and void if the AMD Desktop Kit is used with any heatsink/fan other than the one provided herewith.

AMD is not responsible for payment or reimbursement of removal or replacement costs, or any other costs or expenses arising out of or related to a breach of this Limited Warranty.
