| Defective / Dead on Arrival (DOA) |
 |
WHAT IS A DOA PRODUCT? A product is considered Defective / Dead on Arrival (DOA) when it exhibits a defect in materials or workmanship or completely fails to function within thirty days (30) of the date of purchase. |
|
|
PROOF OF PURCHASE IS REQUIRED to prove the product failed within the 30 days (e.g. Purchase Invoice or Delivery Note). |
|
|
DOA REPLACEMENTS ARE NEW PRODUCTS and are dispatched within four business days. |
|
|
A FREE OF CHARGE COLLECTION SERVICE is available for DOA returns. Instructions on how to arrange collection of the defective product will be included with the new product. |
|
|
DOA PRODUCT RETURNS MUST BE COMPLETE and should include all cables and manuals. |
|
|
A PURCHASE ORDER NUMBER IS REQUIRED. This will be invoiced at the full list price in US$ (no discounts apply) if the defective product/s are not returned to 3Com using the free collection service within 15 days of receiving the DOA replacement/s. 3Com will cover transportation costs to and from your address using a 3Com nominated carrier. It will also be invoiced at 25% of the full list price in US$ (minimum charge $60) if the warranty has been invalidated due to misuse, neglect, unauthorised attempts to open or any other cause beyond the range of intended use. |
