  • If the device cannot be repaired, it will be changed against a replacement device
  • Free standard return delivery
  • Free software updates (new features are not necessarily included)

SLA-EWA-8 6  
SLA-EWA-9 7

Each year of extended warranty is charged with a certain percentage. For the total number of years of extended warranty, these annual percentages must be added together.

There are two scenarios:
Scenario 1: Extended warranty purchased at the time of the initial equipment purchase.

Scenario 2: Extended warranty purchased aft er the initial equipment purchase, with some of the years not being covered by an extended warranty. Each gap year will increase the cost of each year of warranty extension by 1%.
