 One Year Limited Warranty and Replacement Service

(USA only)

by Brother in its sole discretion. Brother
reserves the right to supply a refurbished or
remanufactured replacement Machine and/or
accompanying Consumable and Accessory
Items and use refurbished parts provided
such replacement products conform to the
manufacturer’s specifications for new
product/parts. The repaired or replacement
Machine and/or accompanying Consumable
and Accessory Items will be returned to you
freight prepaid or made available for you to
pick up at a conveniently located Authorized
Service Center.
If the Machine and/or accompanying
Consumable and Accessory Items are not
covered by this warranty (either stage), you
will be charged for shipping the Machine
and/or accompanying Consumable and
Accessory Items back to you and charged for
any service and/or replacement
parts/products at Brother’s then current
published rates. 

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. If you are dealing directly with Brother,
Brother will send to you a replacement Machine
with the understanding that you will, after
receipt of the replacement Machine, supply the
required proof of purchase information,
together with the Machine that Brother agreed
to replace. You are then expected to pack the
Machine that Brother agreed to replace in the
package from the replacement Machine and
return it to Brother using the pre-paid freight bill
supplied by Brother in accordance with the
instructions provided by Brother. Since you will
be in possession of two machines, Brother will
require that you provide a valid major credit
card number. Brother will issue a hold against
the credit card account number that you
provide until Brother receives your original
Product and determines that your original
Product is entitled to warranty coverage. Your
credit card will be charged up to the cost of a
new Product only if: (i) you do not return your
original Product to Brother within five (5)
business days; (ii) the problems with your
original Product are not covered by the limited
warranty; (iii) the proper packaging instructions
are not followed and has caused damage to the

product; or (iv) the warranty period on your
original Product has expired or has not been
sufficiently validated with a copy of the proof of
purchase (bill of sale). The replacement
Machine you receive (even if refurbished or
remanufactured) will be covered by the
balance of the limited 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. 

Retain your original

Accessory Items and a copy of the return
freight bill, signed by the courier.

above, Brother shall not be liable for any
