This Limited Warranty does not cover user manuals or any third party software, settings, content, data or links, whether included or downloaded during installment, assembly, shipping or at any other time in the delivery chain or otherwise and in any way acquired by you.

USE OF NON-STANDARD SUBSCRIBER IDENTITY MODULES (SIM):
SIMs or SIM cards are small electronics cards issued by telecommunication networks that identify and allow customers to connect to and utilise a cellular mobile phone network. Use of non-standard or SIM cards not issued specifically by the network that the customer is subscribed to may result in damage to the phone. Use of any SIM not specifically and officially issued by the customer's subscribed network operator shall immediately void all warranty offered with the handset and the handset will be deemed to no longer have a valid warranty of any kind. This includes copied SIMs, dual or multi-SIM modules and SIM adapters/carriers. Similarly use of a micro-SIM in a standard sized SIM slot (with or without an adapter or carrier module) shall have the same effect of immediately voiding all warranty offered with the handset and the handset will be deemed to no longer have a valid warranty of any kind.

OTHER IMPORTANT WARRANTY NOTICES
A third party independent operator provides the SIM card and cellular and/or other network or system on which the handset operates. MobiCity will not accept responsibility under this warranty for the operation, availability, coverage, services or range of the cellular or other network or system.
Before the item can be repaired or replaced, the operator may need to unlock any SIM-lock or other lock that may have been added to item by a specific network or operator. Accordingly, MobiCity does not accept responsibility for any delay in warranty repairs where the delay is caused by the operator’s failure to unlock any SIM or other lock. Please remember to make back-up copies or keep written records of all important content and data stored in your item, as content and data may be lost during repair or replacement.
MobiCity, to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall not under any circumstances be liable, either expressly or impliedly, for any damages or losses of any kind whatsoever resulting from loss of, damage to, or corruption of, content or data during repair or replacement of the item.

If the item has been re-exported from its original destination country to another country it may contain country specific elements that are not considered defective under this Limited Warranty.
