FIVE9NS Limited Hardware Warranty

Five9NS Limited Hardware Warranty

Unless otherwise specified in a quote or purchase order, all Five9NS hardware products are covered by a 1 year Return-To-Depot (RTD) Limited Warranty. For an additional fee, you may also purchase extended hardware warranties, on-site warranty support services, and software warranties and support. Any Five9NS extended hardware warranty you purchase is subject to all the same terms and conditions of this Five9NS Limited Hardware Warranty. This Limited Warranty extends only to the original purchaser of Five9NS products and is not transferable to any subsequent purchasers unless agreed to in writing by Five9 Network Systems.

Five9NS Limited Hardware Warranty

Five9NS warrants to you that the hardware products listed on the Five9NS product price list, including parts, accessories, upgrades, components purchased as Customer Replaceable Units (“CRUs”), and components purchased as Field Replaceable Units (“FRUs”) (collectively, "Five9NS Hardware Products") will be free from material
defects in materials and workmanship for one (1) year, unless otherwise set forth in the quote or invoice for your specific Five9NS Hardware Product.
The limited warranty on Five9NS Hardware Products, including components purchased as CRUs, begins on the date the Product is shipped to you as indicated on the invoice. For components purchased as FRUs, the term of the warranty begins on the date the FRU is installed by Five9NS or by an authorized Five9NS installation partner. The original warranty period is not extended if Five9NS repairs or replaces a warranted Hardware Product or any part thereof.

The Five9NS Limited Hardware Warranty does not cover:

o Software, including, without limitation, the operating system, firmware, any third party software, or any other software added or reloaded to the Five9NS hardware products

What You Should Do if You Experience an Issue

If you encounter a problem and need warranty service, please contact us by phone at (585) 200-5010, or by email at support@five9network.com. Our service personnel will ask you to complete a Customer Failure Report Form and submit it to us by email at support@five9network.com. This Form is the first step in our warranty support process. It must be received by Five9NS prior to expiration of your Product warranty period for your Product to be considered in "warranty.” Five9NS will make commercially reasonable efforts to respond to receipt of a Failure Report Form or any service-related email or call within 4-hours of receipt or the next business day if the 4 hour window goes beyond our daily service hours.
Our normal warranty service hours are from 9am to 5pm EST, Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. Unless you purchase On-Site Warranty Service through a Five9NS-approved third party service provider,
Five9NS is the only party authorized to perform warranty service on Five9NS Hardware Products.

What Five9NS Will Do to Address Your Issue

Upon receipt of your Customer Failure Report Form, our technical support personnel will work with you remotely to help determine the cause of your issue. If we determine that your issue is the result of a defect in materials or workmanship, but the issue is not able to be resolved remotely, Five9NS, at its sole discretion, may dispatch a CRU to you, arrange for you to send your product or defective part back to Five9NS's repair depot, or replace the product with a comparable product that may be new or refurbished. If you have purchased On-Site Warranty Service, Five9NS may also elect to dispatch a service technician to your location to perform the repair according to the terms of your On-Site Warranty Service.
If we determine that the problem is not covered under this Limited Hardware Warranty, we may be able to offer you service alternatives on a time and materials basis.

Return to Depot Warranty Process

In the event that Five9NS determines that a defective Hardware Product should be replaced, we will ask you to return the Hardware Product to Five9NS. Before returning a Hardware Product to us, you should contact us to request a Return Material Authorization Number, which you must include with your return, along with a copy of your Customer Failure Report Form. You must return the Products to us in their original or equivalent packaging, prepay shipping charges, and insure the shipment or accept the risk if the Product is lost or damaged in shipment. We will make commercially reasonable efforts to ship the repaired or replacement Products to you as soon as possible, subject to commercial availability of necessary components and parts. Under no circumstances, will we be liable for any failure to deliver a repaired or replacement Product to you by any particular date. We will pay to ship the repaired or replaced Products to you if you use an address in the United States (excluding Puerto Rico and U.S. possessions and territories). Otherwise, we will ship the Product to you freight collect.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

It is your responsibility to back up all data on any hard drives or storage devices before returning defective Hardware Products to Five9NS . Five9NS is not responsible for any data lost or damaged as part of the Warranty return or repair process nor for any associated data restoration. Further, it is your responsibility to ensure that no confidential, proprietary, or personal information remains on any Hardware Product before returning it to Five9NS.

If You Experience a Software Problem

In the event that a firmware or software update or upgrade is required in order to address your issue, Five9NS will provide you with instructions for obtaining the update or upgrade, which may include agreement to additional licensing terms or payment of additional license fees. Unless otherwise designated on your Quote, you are responsible for performing and paying for all necessary software updates or upgrades.

Termination of Warranty by Five9NS for Interruption of Critical Supplies

Five9NS reserves the right in its sole discretion to terminate warranty service for any particular Hardware Product, upon 30 days' written notice, in the event it becomes commercially unreasonable to support the Product due to interruptions or cancellations in the supply of critical parts or components, and no commercially reasonable substitute is available. In the event of such termination during the first 12 months after shipment, your sole and exclusive remedy will be for Five9NS to refund to you the costs of the specific Hardware Product and any related extended warranty costs. If such termination occurs during an extended warranty period (13 months or more after shipment), your sole and exclusive remedy will be for Five9NS to refund the pro rata cost of your extended warranty.
