Appendix E - GNU General Public License
A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, and 
which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" 
if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual 
works permit.  Inclusion of a covered work in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other parts of the aggregate.
6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the machine-readable 
Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, in one of these ways:
a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the     
Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium customarily used for software interchange.
b) Convey  the  object  code  in,  or  embodied  in,  a  physical  product  (including  a  physical  distribution  medium),  accompanied  by  a 
written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product model, 
to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the product 
that is covered by this License, on a durable physical medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no more than 
your reasonable cost of physically performing this conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the Corresponding Source from a 
network server at no charge.
c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the written offer to provide the Corresponding Source.  This alternative 
is  allowed  only  occasionally  and  noncommercially,  and  only  if  you  received  the  object  code  with  such  an  offer,  in  accord  with 
subsection 6b.
d) Convey  the  object  code  by  offering  access  from  a  designated  place  (gratis  or  for  a  charge),  and  offer  equivalent  access  to  the   
Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no further charge.  You need not require recipients to copy the 
Corresponding Source along with the object code.  If the place to copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding 
Source may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party) that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you 
maintain clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the Corresponding Source.  Regardless of what server hosts 
the Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding 
Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no charge under subsection 6d.  
						

							118D-Link DIR-655 User Manual
Appendix E - GNU General Public License
A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be included 
in conveying the object code work.
A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family, or 
household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation into a dwelling.  In determining whether a product is a consumer product, 
doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage.  For a particular product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a typical or 
common use of that class of product, regardless of the status of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user actually uses, or expects 
or is expected to use, the product.  A product is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial commercial, industrial or 
non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent the only significant mode of use of the product.
"Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods, procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install and execute 
modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from a modified version of its Corresponding Source.  The information must suffice to ensure 
that the continued functioning of the modified object code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because modification has been made.
If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as part of a 
transaction in which the right of possession and use of the User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a fixed term (regardless of 
how the transaction is characterized), the Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied by the Installation Information.  
But this requirement does not apply if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install modified object code on the User Product (for 
example, the work has been installed in ROM).
The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates for 
a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for the User Product in which it has been modified or installed.  Access to a network 
may be denied when the modification itself materially and adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and protocols for 
communication across the network.
Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly documented 
(and with an implementation available to the public in source code form), and must require no special password or key for unpacking, reading or 
copying.
7. Additional Terms.
"Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions. Additional 
permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent that they are valid 
under applicable law.  If additional permissions apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately under those permissions, but 
the entire Program remains governed by this License without regard to the additional permissions.  
						

							119D-Link DIR-655 User Manual
Appendix E - GNU General Public License
When  you  convey  a  copy  of  a  covered  work,  you  may  at  your  option  remove  any  additional  permissions  from  that  copy,  or  from  any  part  of  it.  
(Additional  permissions  may  be  written  to  require  their  own  removal  in  certain  cases  when  you  modify  the  work.)    You  may  place  additional 
permissions on material, added by you to a covered work, for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of 
that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
b) Requiring  preservation  of  specified  reasonable  legal  notices  or  author  attributions  in  that  material  or  in  the  Appropriate  Legal         
Notices displayed by works containing it; or 
c) Prohibiting  misrepresentation  of  the  origin  of  that  material,  or  requiring  that  modified  versions  of  such  material  be  marked  in         
reasonable ways as different from the original version; or 
d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or authors of the material; or
e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
f ) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of     
it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose 
on those licensors and authors.
All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further restrictions" within the meaning of section 10.  If the Program as you received 
it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is governed by this License along with a term that is a further restriction, you may remove that 
term.  If a license document contains a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this License, you may add to a covered work 
material governed by the terms of that license document, provided that the further restriction does not survive such relicensing or conveying.
If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the additional terms that 
apply to those files, or a notice indicating where to find the applicable terms.
Additional  terms,  permissive  or  non-permissive,  may  be  stated  in  the  form  of  a  separately  written  license,  or  stated  as  exceptions;  the  above 
requirements apply either way.  
						

							120D-Link DIR-655 User Manual
Appendix E - GNU General Public License
8.	Termination.
You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt otherwise to propagate or modify it is 
void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third paragraph of section 11).
However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until 
the copyright holder explicitly and finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation 
by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation.
Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the violation by some 
reasonable means, this is the first time you have received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that copyright holder, and you cure 
the violation prior to 30 days after your receipt of the notice.
Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under this 
License.    If  your  rights  have  been  terminated  and  not  permanently  reinstated,  you  do  not  qualify  to  receive  new  licenses  for  the  same  material 
under section 10.
9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run a copy of the Program.  Ancillary propagation of a covered work occurring 
solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance.  However, nothing other than 
this License grants you permission to propagate or modify any covered work.  These actions infringe copyright if you do not accept this License.  
Therefore, by modifying or propagating a covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and propagate that 
work, subject to this License.  You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an organization, or 
merging organizations.  If propagation of a covered work results from an entity transaction, each party to that transaction who receives a copy of the 
work also receives whatever licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to 
possession of the Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.  
						

							121D-Link DIR-655 User Manual
Appendix E - GNU General Public License
You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the rights granted or affirmed under this License.  For example, you may not impose 
a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation (including a cross-claim 
or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing the Program or any 
portion of it.
11. Patents.
A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based.  The work thus 
licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version". 
A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or hereafter acquired, 
that would be infringed by some manner, permitted by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version, but do not include claims 
that would be infringed only as a consequence of further modification of the contributor version.  For purposes of this definition, "control" includes 
the right to grant patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of this License.
Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to make, use, 
sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and propagate the contents of its contributor version.
In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent (such 
as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to sue for patent infringement).  To "grant" such a patent license to a party means to 
make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a patent against the party.
If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone to copy, 
free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a publicly available network server or other readily accessible means, then you must 
either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the patent license for this particular 
work, or (3) arrange, in a manner consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent license to downstream recipients.  "Knowingly 
relying" means you have actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of 
the covered work in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that country that you have reason to believe are valid.
If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a covered work, 
and grant a patent license to some of the parties receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify or convey a specific copy 
of the covered work, then the patent license you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered work and works based on it.  
						

							122D-Link DIR-655 User Manual
Appendix E - GNU General Public License
A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is conditioned on the non-
exercise of one or more of the rights that are specifically granted under this License.  You may not convey a covered work if you are a party to an 
arrangement with a third party that is in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment to the third party based on the 
extent of your activity of conveying the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the parties who would receive the covered work 
from you, a discriminatory patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or 
(b) primarily for and in connection with specific products or compilations that contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement, 
or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may otherwise be 
available to you under applicable patent law.
12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
If  conditions  are  imposed  on  you  (whether  by  court  order,  agreement  or  otherwise)  that  contradict  the  conditions  of  this  License,  they  do  not 
excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot convey a covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this 
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not convey it at all.  For example, if you agree to terms that obligate 
you to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and 
this License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program. 
13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed under version 
3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single combined work, and to convey the resulting work.  The terms of this License will continue 
to  apply  to  the  part  which  is  the  covered  work,  but  the  special  requirements  of  the  GNU  Affero  General  Public  License,  section  13,  concerning 
interaction through a network will apply to the combination as such.
14. Revised Versions of this License.
The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the GNU General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General Public License 
"or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered version or of any later version 
published by the Free Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of the GNU General Public License, you may choose 
any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.  
						

							123D-Link DIR-655 User Manual
Appendix E - GNU General Public License
If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's public statement 
of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you to choose that version for the Program.
Later license versions may give you additional or different permissions.  However, no additional obligations are imposed on any author or copyright 
holder as a result of your choosing to follow a later version.
15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE 
COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, 
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK 
AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
16. Limitation of Liability.
IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES 
AND/OR CONVEYS THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR 
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR 
DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY 
OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms, reviewing courts 
shall apply local law that most closely approximates an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the Program, unless a warranty or 
assumption of liability accompanies a copy of the Program in return for a fee.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, D-Link Systems, Inc. (“D-Link”) provides this Limited Warranty:
• Only to the person or entity that originally purchased the product from D-Link or its authorized reseller or distributor, and
• Only for products purchased and delivered within the fifty states of the United States, the District of Columbia, U.S. Possessions       
or Protectorates, U.S. Military Installations, or addresses with an APO or FPO.
Limited Warranty:
D-Link warrants that the hardware portion of the D-Link product described below (“Hardware”) will be free from material defects in workmanship 
and materials under normal use from the date of original retail purchase of the product, for the period set forth below (“Warranty Period”), except 
as otherwise stated herein.
•  Hardware (excluding power supplies and fans): One (1) year
• Power supplies and fans: One (1) year
• Spare parts and spare kits: Ninety (90) days
The  customer ’s  sole  and  exclusive  remedy  and  the  entire  liability  of  D-Link  and  its  suppliers  under  this  Limited  Warranty  will  be,  at  
D-Link’s option, to repair or replace the defective Hardware during the Warranty Period at no charge to the original owner or to refund the actual 
purchase  price  paid.  Any  repair  or  replacement  will  be  rendered  by  D-Link  at  an  Authorized  D-Link  Service  Office.  The  replacement  hardware 
need not be new or have an identical make, model or part. D-Link may, at its option, replace the defective Hardware or any part thereof with any 
reconditioned product that D-Link reasonably determines is substantially equivalent (or superior) in all material respects to the defective Hardware. 
Repaired  or  replacement  hardware  will  be  warranted  for  the  remainder  of  the  original Warranty  Period  or  ninety  (90)  days,  whichever  is  longer, 
and is subject to the same limitations and exclusions. If a material defect is incapable of correction, or if D-Link determines that it is not practical 
to repair or replace the defective Hardware, the actual price paid by the original purchaser for the defective Hardware will be refunded by D-Link 
upon return to D-Link of the defective Hardware. All Hardware or part thereof that is replaced by D-Link, or for which the purchase price is refunded, 
shall become the property of D-Link upon replacement or refund.

Appendix F - Warranty
Limited Software Warranty:
D-Link warrants that the software portion of the product (“Software”) will substantially conform to D-Link’s then current functional specifications 
for the Software, as set forth in the applicable documentation, from the date of original retail purchase of the Software for a period of ninety (90) 
days  (“Software Warranty  Period”),  provided  that  the  Software  is  properly  installed  on  approved  hardware  and  operated  as  contemplated  in  its 
documentation. D-Link further warrants that, during the Software Warranty Period, the magnetic media on which D-Link delivers the Software will 
be free of physical defects. The customer’s sole and exclusive remedy and the entire liability of D-Link and its suppliers under this Limited Warranty 
will  be,  at  D-Link’s  option,  to  replace  the  non-conforming  Software  (or  defective  media)  with  software  that  substantially  conforms  to  D-Link’s 
functional specifications for the Software or to refund the portion of the actual purchase price paid that is attributable to the Software. Except as 
otherwise agreed by DLink in writing, the replacement Software is provided only to the original licensee, and is subject to the terms and conditions 
of the license granted by D-Link for the Software. Replacement Software will be warranted for the remainder of the original Warranty Period and is 
subject to the same limitations and exclusions. If a material non-conformance is incapable of correction, or if D-Link determines in its sole discretion 
that  it  is  not  practical  to  replace  the  non-conforming  Software,  the  price  paid  by  the  original  licensee  for  the  non-conforming  Software  will  be 
refunded by D-Link; provided that the non-conforming Software (and all copies thereof ) is first returned to D-Link. The license granted respecting 
any Software for which a refund is given automatically terminates.
Non-Applicability of Warranty:
The Limited Warranty provided hereunder for Hardware and Software portions of D-Link’s products will not be applied to and does not cover any 
refurbished product and any product purchased through the inventory clearance or liquidation sale or other sales in which D-Link, the sellers, or 
the  liquidators  expressly  disclaim  their  warranty  obligation  pertaining  to  the  product  and  in  that  case,  the  product  is  being  sold “As-Is”  without 
any warranty whatsoever including, without limitation, the Limited Warranty as described herein, notwithstanding anything stated herein to the 
contrary.
Submitting A Claim:
The customer shall return the product to the original purchase point based on its return policy. In case the return policy period has expired and the 
product is within warranty, the customer shall submit a claim to D-Link as outlined below:
• Customers need to provide their receipt (proof of purchase) even if the product is registered. Without a receipt, no warranty service will 
be done. The registration is not considered a proof of purchase.
• The customer must submit with the product as part of the claim a written description of the Hardware defect or Software nonconformance 
in sufficient detail to allow D-Link to confirm the same, along with proof of purchase of the product (such as a copy of the dated purchase 
invoice for the product) if the product is not registered.
• The customer must obtain a Case ID Number from D-Link Technical Support at 1-800-361-5265, who will attempt to assist the customer 
in resolving any suspected defects with the product. If the product is considered defective, the customer must obtain a Return Material 
Authorization (“RMA”) number by completing the RMA form and entering the assigned Case ID Number at https://rma.dlink.ca/.
