MEINBERG WARRANTY
Meinberg offers a standard 3-year warranty for all Meinberg products. This standard warranty covers all hardware
and software failures, provided that the operating instructions have been followed by the user.
The warranty applies only to the country to which Meinberg initially shipped the product. If the Meinberg product is to be used in a different country than the country to which the product was originally shipped, this should be declared during the purchase process. Warranty coverage can be transferred or extended to other countries or regions on request.
During the warranty period, Meinberg will ship replacement parts or will repair the product in one of our Meinberg repair centers free of charge. In the latter case, the customer must arrange and pay for the shipment of the faulty device to the nearest repair center. Shipping charges for returning the repaired product to the customer are included in the warranty.
Even after expiry of the warranty, customers can still send their products to Meinberg for repair, in which case Meinberg will estimate the repair costs and send a quote to the customer.
FREE LIFETIME UPDATES
Customers can be informed upon request about any software updates throughout the lifetime of a product. This includes
free downloads of firmware updates and security advisories.
Advanced Customer Support
In addition to the standard technical support available during standard business hours, Meinberg also offers “Advanced Customer Support”, an advanced technical support service that is there when you need it—365 days a year, 24 hours a day.
During the Advanced Customer Support contract period, you have the possibility of creating up to three technical support tickets per device, which will be answered within a guaranteed maximum response time of 4 hours by one of Meinberg's highly trained technical experts.
Contracts for this service are concluded for a period of one year. You can freely decide if you want to use our standard technical support service instead of spending one of your three customer support tickets for non-critical support issues.

RRS: Rapid Replacement Service
The Rapid Replacement Service offers customers the possibility of reserving replacement devices so that devices can be replaced quickly as necessary.
The replacement devices will be of an identical configuration to the product in use and can either be stored on or near the customer's premises, or at one of Meinberg's facilities. You may register multiple devices with identical hardware for one replacement device.
This service includes a maximum of two replacements within a contract period of two years. In the event of a hardware system failure, the Rapid Replacement Service guarantees that a replacement device will be shipped to you on the same day, provided that Meinberg receives your request on business days by 12 p.m. local time (CET/CEST).
