Warranty


H3 Platform offers free 2 year limited warranty service on our products. If the standard warranty period is not long enough, H3 Platform offers optional purchase extended warranty service coverage that will provide warranty for 1, 2, or 3 additional years.


Limited Warranty

H3 Platform warrants its products against defects in material and workmanship. Under normal use and service, every hardware portion of the products will be free from physical defects in material and workmanship during the warranty period, or the product will be repaired or replaced as determined solely by H3 Platform. H3 Platform provides a limited warranty for its products only to the person or entity that originally purchased the product from H3 Platform or its authorized distributor or retailer. H3 Platform's products are PCI switches, and H3 Platform makes no warranty of the devices installed, or warranty on compatibility of all PCIe devices. H3 Platform will not be liable in any way for the loss of data stored on H3 Platform products and any damage caused by this.

Extra warranty period might be provided by H3 Platform's worldwide dealers/distributors. Please contact dealers/ distributors to purchase the extended warranty.

If a product does not operate as warranted above during the applicable warranty period, H3 Platform shall, at its option and expense (except for shipping cost), repair the defective product or part, deliver to the customer an equivalent product or part to replace the defective item.

  3. The serial number label is missing or unrecognizable,
  4. The product has been modified or repaired by any unauthorized service center or personnel.
  5. The defect was subject to abuse, improper use not conforming to product manual instructions, or environment conditions more severe than those specified in the manual and specification.
