Global Service Programs: Warranty Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions of Warranty, Service and Support (“Terms and Conditions”) cover services provided by Overland-Tandberg (“Company”) to customers (“Customers”) who have purchased products (“Products”) from the Company.

Limited Hardware Warranty
Company warrants that Company or its designated third party service provider (“Service Provider”) will repair or exchange, at Company’s option and without charge to Customer, each Product failing to function properly under normal use during the Limited Warranty Period (the “Limited Warranty”). The “Limited Warranty Period” starts on the date of shipment from Company or on the purchase date from a Company authorized reseller and continues for the applicable time specified at the “Warranty Coverage and Service Options” web page or for any period during which Company agrees to extend such Limited Warranty Period. Customer’s dated sales or delivery receipt is Customer’s proof of the purchase date. Customer may be required to provide proof of purchase as a condition of receiving warranty service. Customer means the original end-user purchaser of the Product. This Limited Warranty is extended to the original end-user purchaser only and is not transferable.

Your Limited Warranty is NOT in effect until Company receives your completed Warranty Registration via the Product Self Support section on Company’s web site at support.overlandtandberg.com​ and it is processed by Company. Processing may take up to 15 business days after receipt of your Warranty Registration by Company.

Company warrants that the software functionality for specified Company Products will substantially conform to its published specifications for a period of time as specified at the “Warranty Coverage and Service Options” web page from the receipt of the equipment containing the software or receipt of access to the software. This limited warranty extends only to the end customer as the original licensee. Company will comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations in connection with its activities under the published End User License Agreement (EULA). Refer to the EULA for your product for the complete statement of warranty.

Any Product, which Company has authorized to be replaced must be returned to Company per the terms of the specific warranty. For Return to Factory (RTF) Replacement material, Customer must first ship the product to Company at the Customer’s expense.  Once Company receives the part, the repaired or replaced item will be shipped to Customer, at Company’s expense.

For Advanced Warranty Replacement material, the customer is obligated to return the replaced material within the stated time frame in order to maintain the Limited Warranty entitlement. Failure to comply will result in suspension of your Limited Warranty and grant Company the right to invoice the Customer, at current list price, for the replacement material. All returned parts or Products become the property of Company. Company, at its discretion, may use new, refurbished, or reconditioned replacement parts to perform any warranty repair or replacement of its Products or provide a replacement unit of Company’s choosing that is at least equivalent to the Product in hardware performance. Company reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to refund the purchase price instead of replacing the Product.

Other terms and conditions relating to duration, scope and procedures of the Limited Warranty are available on the Global Service Programs: Service Options Details page.

Upgraded Warranty Coverage and Additional Purchased Services
In addition to the Limited Warranty applicable to all Products during the Limited Warranty Period, Customer may purchase, upon payment of the applicable fees, extended terms of the Limited Warranty Period, additional, or upgraded warranties, on-site service, and other maintenance or installation services and support (“Purchased Services”) all as set forth on the “Warranty Coverage and Service Options” web page (any such purchased services being referred to as the “Services”). Purchased Services are valid to the original end-user purchaser only and are not transferable or refundable.

If Customer has purchased any Services set forth on the “Warranty Coverage and Service Options” web page, Company or its Service Provider will provide the Services, commencing the date that Company receives and processes your purchase order for such Services (“Service Start Date”). Processing your purchase order may take up to 15 business days after receipt of your purchase order by Company

Services may include mandatory engineering changes, maintenance updates, releases or upgrade versions of the Products, if any, to the Customer, but installation of recommended non-mandatory changes, updates, releases, or upgrade versions will subject Customer to additional charges.

Company or the Service Provider will use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to Customer’s request for Services within the response time set forth under the “Warranty Coverage and Service Options” web page, measured from the time Company or its Authorized Service Provider has determined that the Services are required. Company or the Service Provider will use reasonable care to assure that all services are performed in a workmanlike manner by competent and trained individuals utilizing generally accepted industry standards and practices.

If any Purchased Services coverage was not originally provided or purchased with the Products, or if Services coverage has lapsed, or if ownership of the product has been transferred to other than the original end user purchaser, Company or the Service Provider may require an inspection of the Products before the Service Start Date and as a condition to providing the Services.
