Coverage may not be available in all areas of Canada.

Warranty Service Coverage

The coverage period is shown on the applicable Certificate of Registration for Lexmark Warranty Service for each covered printer or the coverage period as specified under the statement of limited warranty included in the user documents shipped with the printer, whichever applies.

The customer is entitled to Lexmark OnSite Warranty Service during the original warranty period specified in the user documents for a covered printer when a Lexmark OnSite Upgrade is purchased, or when an Extended OnSite Limited Warranty Service is purchased.

If the covered products include options or accessories, the options are covered only when installed on the printer for which they were designed. To obtain service for an option covered under Warranty Service; it may be necessary to present the option with the entire unit.

If a printer is sold before the expiration of the Warranty Service, then that coverage may be transferred to the new owner by written notification from the original owner to Lexmark at Lexmark Canada Inc., Service Department, 125 Commerce Valley Drive West, Suite 600, Markham, Ontario, L3T7W4.

Contract Renewals

Lexmark Exchange Warranty Service

Lexmark Exchange Service is provided by Lexmark by calling our Technical Support Centre at 1-800-539-6275. Lexmark Exchange Warranty Service also allows for printers to be taken to a designated Lexmark Authorized Service Depot. Exchange service may not be available for all printers.

Under the terms of this service option, should the printer fail, an exchange printer will be shipped to the customer within 1-3 business days. The failing printer is shipped to Lexmark by using the material provided with the exchange printer. The printer must be made available for pickup by courier within 5 business days from receipt of the exchange printer. Failure to return the defective printer within 5 business days will result in the customer being charged the full price of the exchange printer. Exchange Service is not available for printers that have been defaced, altered, or damaged beyond repair. Not all printer models will have the Express Exchange option available.

When exchange service is used, the returned printer becomes the property of Lexmark Canada. The exchange printer becomes the property of the customer, and it assumes the remainder of the Warranty or Extended Warranty Service of the original unit. Exchange printers may be new or repaired to full factory specifications at Lexmark’s discretion.

Extent of Warranty Service

Lexmark Warranty Service is not a guarantee of uninterrupted or error-free functioning of a printer. Service does not include repair of failures caused by: misuse, neglect, accident, modification, operation outside the Specified Operating Environment, improper maintenance by customer, failure caused by service of the printer by nonauthorized service providers, or failure caused by a product, including supply products, for which Lexmark is not responsible.

Consumable and Repair Parts

Consumable Parts require periodic replacement based on printer usage in order to maintain optimum performance of the product. Maintenance kits and other consumable parts are available from Lexmark for certain models. Some products display a maintenance reminder message at specified intervals based on pages printed. If required, product documentation directs the customer to install a maintenance kit or to contact a service representative for kit installation. Maintenance kits and other consumable parts are available at an additional charge to the customer. These parts are outside the scope of both the Lexmark Base Limited Warranty and Extended Limited Warranty offerings. Installation of maintenance kit components is generally the Customer’s responsibility. If, however, a particular maintenance kit is not considered “Customer replaceable” by Lexmark, installation service will be included in the Extended Limited Warranty. Lexmark is not responsible for failures caused by a Customer’s failure to timely install maintenance kits.

Repair Parts

Repair parts will be furnished on an exchange basis and will either be new or equivalent to new. All returned parts and products become the property of Lexmark.

Limitation of Liability

Customer’s sole remedy under the terms and conditions of this Warranty Service is set forth in this section. For any claim concerning performance or non-performance of Lexmark, Reseller or ASP for a covered printer under the terms and conditions of Lexmark Warranty Service, customer may recover actual damages up to the limits set forth in the following paragraph.

Lexmark’s liability for actual damage from any cause whatsoever will be limited to greater of 1) $5000 or 2) the amount paid for the printer that caused the damage. This limitation of liability will not apply to claims for bodily injury or damage to real property or tangible personal property for which Lexmark is legally liable.

In no event will Lexmark be liable for any damage caused by customer’s failure to fulfill their responsibilities under these terms and conditions. In no event will either party be liable for any lost profits, lost savings, incidental damage, or other economic consequential damages. This is true even if the other party is advised of the possibility of such damages.

All express and implied warranties, including the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, are limited in duration to the coverage period. No warranties express or implied, will apply after this period.

Cancellation & Payment

Extended Warranty, Renewal Agreements and Post Warranty Agreements will not be in effect until payment is received by Lexmark within 30 days of invoice, at which time Lexmark may cancel the contract for non-payment. The customer or Lexmark can terminate the extended warranty coverage at any time with three months prior written notice.

Lexmark may terminate extended warranty coverage at any time for non-payment. Even if the customer makes the payment to a Lexmark reseller, Lexmark must receive the payment for the extended warranty within thirty days of invoice in order for the customer to receive service.

If the extended warranty coverage is cancelled, Lexmark will refund to the customer the remaining portion of the warranty price, paid on a prorated basis. A fee of $25.00 will not be refunded to the customer and will be deducted from the total prorated amount.

Additional Rights

Some provinces do not allow limitations on how long an implied service lasts, or do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages. If such laws apply, the limitations or exclusions contained in the terms and conditions of this Warranty Service may not apply to customer. This warranty service gives the customer certain legal rights. Customer may also have other legal rights, which vary from province to province and from state to state.
