I. Warranty

H3C warrants for software and hardware for a period of certain days from the Starting Date.

1. The warranty period of software is ninety (90) days. If the software does not comply with the functional standards mentioned in the product instructions, or the software media incurs problems in material and workmanship under normal authorized use consistent with the product instructions within the warranty period, H3C will replace the media or repair the defects for free. For the defects, H3C has the discretion to decide repair with software patches, replacement with upgraded software or refund of the software.

2. The warranty period of hardware is one (1) year. If the hardware incurs problems in material and workmanship under normal authorized use consistent with the product instructions within the warranty period, H3C will provide return-to-factory repair after receiving an application, with a thirty (30) days turnaround from the date of receipt of the product at a H3C Repair Center. H3C, at its sole discretion, will either repair or replace the failure hardware. The replacement hardware may be new or refurbished equipment of the same type, function and quality. The failure hardware which has been replaced belongs to H3C. H3C will use commercially reasonable efforts to ship the replacement hardware within thirty (30) days after receipt of the product at a H3C Repair Center. Actual delivery times may vary depending on the customer location.

The warranty period of product will not be influenced due to resale or repair. But the warranty period for the replacement or the repaired unit is three months or the remainder of the initial warranty period both starting from the delivery of the replacement or the repaired unit by H3C, whichever is longer.

3. Dead On Arrival (DOA). Within thirty (30) days from the Starting Date, H3C will provide expedited replacement of hardware that has no appearance damage upon unpacking but fails to operate within forty-eight (48) hours of initial installation. ”Fail to operate” shall mean a material failure to substantially perform in accordance with the hardware’s technical specifications (excluding exterior nick or other deficiencies that do not materially affect hardware performance). H3C will deliver a new replacement unit within two (2) business days of H3C' receipt and confirmation of the customer's report of such DOA. Defective hardware must be returned within fifteen (15) business days once receiving the replacemnet, otherwise the customer shall pay purchase price of replacement hardware. Customers outside of Chinese Mainland (including Hong Kong and Chinese ) should allow for additional transit time due to transportation reasons.

4. Hardware return procedure. Any defective item has to be returned by referring to a return material authorization (RMA) number issued by H3C. To request an RMA number, the customer can contact H3C Technical Support Center via telephone or other online resource available at the URL: http://rma.h3c.com/. The Technical Support Center will initiate online RMA request but will not provide any troubleshooting, configuration or installation assistance unless the customer has purchased a H3C service package that includes remote technical support. The RMA number must be displayed on the outside packing of the returned item. Transportation charge, if any, incurred in connection with the return of a defective item to H3C shall be borne by the customer. H3C shall pay any transportation charge incurred with the redelivery of a repaired or replacement item. If, however, H3C reasonably determines that the item can function, the customer shall pay any transportation charge. If H3C determines, at its sole discretion, that the allegedly defective item is not covered by the terms of the warranty provided hereunder or that a warranty claim is made after the warranty period, the cost of repair by H3C, including all shipping fees, shall be paid by the customer.
