Our Warranty
Subject to the conditions of this Limited Warranty, Sony Ericsson warrants this Product to be free
from defects in design, material and workmanship at the time of its original purchase by a consumer,
and for a subsequent period of one (1) year.
What We Will Do
If, during the warranty period, this Product fails to operate under normal use and service, due to
defects in design, materials or workmanship, Sony Ericsson authorised distributors or service
partners, in the country/region* where you purchased the Product, will, at their option, either repair
or replace the Product in accordance with the terms and conditions stipulated herein.
Sony Ericsson and its service partners reserve the right to charge a handling fee if a returned Product
is found not to be under warranty according to the conditions below.
Please note that some of your personal settings, downloads or other information may be lost when
your Sony Ericsson Product is repaired or replaced. At present Sony Ericsson may be prevented by
applicable law, other regulation or technical restrictions from making a backup copy of certain
downloads. Sony Ericsson does not take any responsibility for any lost information of any kind and
will not reimburse you for any such loss. You should always make backup copies of all the
information stored on your Sony Ericsson Product such as downloads, calendar and contacts before
handing in your Sony Ericsson Product for repair or replacement.
Conditions
1. The warranty is valid only if the original proof of purchase issued to the original purchaser by
an, for this Product, Sony Ericsson authorised dealer, specifying the date of purchase and serial
number**, is presented with the Product to be repaired or replaced. Sony Ericsson reserves the
right to refuse warranty service if this information has been removed or changed after the
original purchase of the Product from the dealer.
2. If Sony Ericsson repairs or replaces the Product, the repaired or replaced Product shall be
warranted for the remaining time of the original warranty period or for ninety (90) days from the
date of repair, whichever is longer. Repair or replacement may involve the use of functionally
equivalent reconditioned units. Replaced parts or components will become the property of Sony
Ericsson.
3. This warranty does not cover any failure of the Product due to normal wear and tear, or due to
misuse, including but not limited to use in other than the normal and customary manner, in
accordance with the Sony Ericsson instructions for use and maintenance of the Product. Nor
does this warranty cover any failure of the Product due to accident, software or hardware
modification or adjustment, acts of God or damage resulting from liquid.
A rechargeable battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times. However, it will
eventually wear out – this is not a defect. When the talk-time or standby time is noticeably
shorter, it is time to replace your battery. Sony Ericsson recommends that you use only batteries
and chargers approved by Sony Ericsson.
Minor variations in display brightness and color may occur between phones. There may be tiny
bright or dark dots on the display. These are called defective pixels and occur when individual
dots have malfunctioned and can not be adjusted. Two defective pixels are deemed acceptable.
