Iomega makes no warranty of any kind on such products which, if included, are provided "AS IS." Excluded is damage caused by accident, misuse, abuse, unusually heavy use, use of non-Iomega supplied or approved media, exposure of media to excess magnetic fields, or external environmental causes. Remedies Your sole and exclusive remedy for a covered defect is repair or replacement of the defective product, at Iomega's sole option and expense, and Iomega may use new or refurbished parts or products to do so. If Iomega is unable to repair or replace a defective product, your alternate exclusive remedy shall be a refund of the original purchase price. The above is Iomega's entire obligation to you under this warranty. IN NO EVENT SHALL IOMEGA BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA, USE, OR PROFITS EVEN IF IOMEGA HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. In no event shall Iomega's liability exceed the original purchase price of the drive or the media disk. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
