Arxys Limited Warranty

VideoX United States Warranty #

The Arxys VideoX Warranty for the United States is designed to minimize downtime in the unlikely event of a hardware failure. Arxys utilizes security partner self-repair, hot swappable disk drive modules and server power supply modules. After troubleshooting the system and identifying the possible fault, the Security Partner creates a trouble ticket at https://support.arxys.com to receive technical assistance. Our Technical Support Engineers will confirm the security partners findings and authorize the dispatch of replacement parts. In situations where the security partner’s troubleshooting was not unable to identify a fault, Arxys technicians may assist in attempting to diagnose hardware faults.

Hardware Warranty Period #

This standard VideoX hardware warranty period is 3 years from the date of purchase. It is designed to provide hassle-free restoration of fault-tolerant service while maintaining your specific software configuration and data. The 3-year period includes advanced parts replacement on SRMs to ensure continuous operation. 

An optional VideoX hardware warranty period of 5 years from the date of purchase is available for purchase. The terms of coverage are the same as the 3-year warranty, the only difference is the period of coverage. In all cases, the 5-year warranty upgrade must be purchased at the time of system purchase in order to qualify for standard 5-year warranty pricing. In no case will purchasing a 5-year warranty upgrade the warranty beyond the 5 years from the time of purchase.

If a 5-year warranty upgrade is desired after the time of purchase please contact Arxys for a custom quote. This type of warranty extension will not qualify for the standard 5-year warranty pricing. A warranty reinstatement fee and warranty upgrade cost to extend the warranty to 5 will be required.

Hardware Warranty Claim Overview #

The typical hardware warranty process consists of:

• A security partner identifies a hardware fault with a system covered under the Arxys hardware warranty.
• The security partner creates a trouble ticket and includes a complete description of the issue and any troubleshooting steps taken.
• Arxys support will review the ticket and if needed request additional information if needed which is typically limited to system logs.
  • Arxys support may request additional troubleshooting be performed in order to verify hardware failure.
• Arxys support will request a SRM be dispatched after confirming the system is covered under warranty via serial number.
• Security partner receives the SRM and completes the repair
• Security partner returns any and all failed components replaced within 15 days

In the event a hardware failure is diagnosed, Arxys will ship the security partner a self-repair module (SRM) for self-replacement. These items will be shipped via Standard Overnight delivery next business day. Replacement hardware will ship on the same day for problems diagnosed and approved by 12:00 p.m. Pacific time, or the next business day for problems diagnosed after 12:00 p.m. Pacific time. The security partner will perform the replacement of the SRM and will ship back the failed SRM back to Arxys. 

Arxys Security Partner Options #

Some parts do not qualify for return to depot replacement under the warranty. These types of parts must be replaced by the security partner. These SRMs typically do not require specialized tools, are hot-swappable, or are considered plug and play. Other parts will qualify for return to deport for replacement although the security partner may request a SRM package. These parts may require additional tools, removal of additional parts, hardware or software reconfiguration.

All Arxys warranties and support are applicable exclusively in the United States. Other countries and territories will be determined on a case by case basis and will incur additional costs.

• If the Customer adds non-Arxys equipment or software to a system, the warranty for the system will end.
  
• If warranty coverage is not maintained continuously for a system, the Customer may purchase at a time and material (T&M) rate a recertification of the system.  Any repairs or costs associated with bringing the system back to Arxys specifications will also be charged on a T&M basis.
  
• Customers who have not purchased a warranty plan or are not covered by the warranty may purchase services on a time and material basis, and the services will be provided by Arxys on an as-available basis.
