Misuse is not covered by warranty. This chapter will explain what’s not covered by warranty. Phones that have been exposed to

misuse will not be covered by warranty.

This means: if it is possible to repair the phone, the customer will have to pay for the repair. SEMC will not allow any of these

phones to be claimed into WCMS. Some local perspectives may interfere with this. Please reference to local directives.
