Limited Warranty This warranty specifies Tyco Security Products sole obligation for American Dynamics, Software House and Kantech branded

products and EMEA Business Partners exclusive remedy with respect to the Products.

Under the Warranty Replacement Scheme operated in EMEA, Tyco Security Products will repair or provide a comparable

replacement for any merchandise proved defective in material or workmanship for the period after the date of shipment defined in our

published EMEA Price List except as noted below:

Continuous operation of any motors, belts, gear heads or gears due to “auto-pan” or similar modes of operation on dome

cameras and similar products is outside the scope of this warranty and is specifically excluded.

Tyco Security Products shall provide warranty on all replacement parts and repairs (original fault) for the remaining portion of

the original warranty period.

This warranty shall not apply to appearance or accessory items (except furnished external power supplies) including but not l imited

to antennas, knobs, cabinets, dust covers, connecting cables or user replaceable items such as lamps and fuses. This warranty

becomes void in the event the serial numbers are altered, defaced or removed.

This warranty shall not in any event extend or apply to repairs or replacements necessitated by any cause beyond the control of Tyco

Security Products including but not limited to improper installation, incorrect power supplies, voltage fluctuations, lightning or induced

electrical surges, misuse, neglect, lack of proper maintenance, unauthorised interference, attempted repairs whether or not

authorised, modifications to either hardware or software, damage resulting from the use of non-approved parts or supplies not

purchased from Tyco Security Products, wear and tear, accident, civil unrest, riot, Force Majeure or Acts of God. In such cases Tyco

Security Products reserves the right to make a surcharge for the repair or decline to attempt to repair any product affected.

Tyco Security Products shall in no event be liable for any incidental, consequential or other direct or indirect loss or damages

whether foreseeable or unforeseeable suffered by the Business Partner or any of its customers or their employees or agents or any

other person arising out of or in connection with this agreement or with the sale, use, design or performance of any product.

Tyco Security Products takes no responsibility whatsoever for any Business Partner or customer data or images contained within any

unit returned for repair/replacement.

All claims for parts allegedly defective under this warranty shall be submitted together with the model and serial number of the

products from which the part was taken, the date of sale and such further information as we may require from time to time.

Tyco Security Products shall have no liability in respect of any claim. The Business Partner shall not deduct from any payment due

to Tyco Security Products any amount or credits in respect of any returned material or parts, warranty claims, invoicing discrepancies

with their respective customer on its own responsibility, under this warranty or otherwise, adjustments will not be binding upon Tyco

Security Products unless and until approved in writing by Tyco Security Products.

2. Product Warranty and Repair Arrangements

Summary

Product failures may be categorised as:

In-Warranty Failure

This applies to qualifying products which are deemed to have failed within their specified

Warranty period.

Out of Box Failure

Special provisions for Out of Box failure apply to qualifying products which fail on initial

power up or during commissioning, normally within 30 days of shipment from Tyco.

Out of Warranty Repairs

Tyco Security Products operates a repairs service and will wherever possible offer a fixed

price for the repair of products which are no longer covered by warranty.

Warranty periods vary for individual items and are published in the EMEA Business Partner

Price List. The warranty period for products not manufactured by Tyco Security Products shall

be in accordance with the warranty terms of the respective manufacturer.

Faulty items must be returned to Tyco Security Products using the correct Returns Procedure as

detailed in Section 3 of this document. Where a replacement item has been supplied by Tyco

under this process, credit will only be issued for the returned item once it is confirmed as a

genuine warranty/Out of Box failure. Where no replacement item has been supplied, no credit

will be issued and the item will be repaired and returned to the business partner as detailed later

in this document.

Full details of Tyco Security Products Warranty and Repair Arrangements are contained in the

following pages.

Warranty Replacement Scheme for In-Warranty Failures

Any qualifying product failing within its specified warranty period will be classed as an In-

Warranty failure.

In the event that a product is deemed to have fallen outside the specified warranty period

defined by its date of manufacture and where there is credible and documented evidence to

demonstrate the end user has had ownership for a lesser period Tyco Security Products may at

their discretion treat the product as being in warranty. Any previous warranty terms which can

be proven to still be applicable will be honoured.

Under the Warranty Replacement Scheme, Business Partners may purchase a Warranty

Replacement for a listed product which has failed within the warranty period. Warranty

Replacement items are ordered using standard product part number(s) under the Warranty

Replacement Scheme at the Business Partner’s usual price and are subject to all normal

delivery terms. All normal Terms and Conditions including cancellation terms apply to orders

placed for Warranty Replacement items. Faulty items must be returned to Tyco Security

Products using the returns process detailed in Section 3 of this document. Business Partners

can only receive a credit for a failed product once it has been returned and is confirmed by Tyco

Security Products as being a true In-Warranty failure.

Product Returns

When making a Return, it is important for a Business Partner to detail within Email RMA request

if they have purchased a Warranty Replacement item. If Email RMA request does not show that

a Warranty Replacement part was purchased, Tyco will not issue a credit and will repair and

return the failed unit to the Business Partner. No credit will be issued once a repaired unit has

been returned to a Business Partner.

In the event that a Warranty Replacement has been ordered:

Where the returned product is found to be in warranty and is deemed by Tyco Security

Products or their approved European Repair Centre (ERC) to be a genuine warranty failure a

full credit will be issued for the value of the Warranty Replacement item.

Where the returned product is found to be in warranty but is deemed by Tyco Security

Products or their approved ERC not to be faulty (no fault found) a partial credit will be issued.

The value of the partial credit will be calculated as the value of the Warranty Replacement

item less any inspection and shipping fees incurred by Tyco Security Products.

Where the returned product is deemed by Tyco Security Products or their approved ERC to

be warranty expired or warranty void no credit will be issued and Tyco Security Products

reserves the right to levy reasonable charges to cover the inspection and shipping of the

goods to and from their premises. If repair is possible, Tyco Security Products will offer a

quotation for repair although no repairs will be affected until a formal Purchase Order has

been received by Tyco in accordance with the guidelines laid out in the next sections. If

Fax: +44 (0) 20 8897 6520


repair is not possible, or if repair is not required by the business partner, Tyco Security

Products will either return the failed unit un-repaired, or dispose of the failed unit at the

business partner’s discretion. Note that charges for disposal may apply.

Special order items are specifically excluded from the Warranty Replacement Scheme.

Warranty of Replacement Item

A Warranty Replacement product will be covered by the remaining balance of the warranty

period defined in the published EMEA Business Partner Price List.

Outline Returns Process for In-Warranty Failures

Out of Box Failures

Special provisions which allow a product to be classed as an Out of Box failure apply to any

qualifying product which fails in warranty on initial power up or during commissioning. This

normally applies to failures which occur within 30 days of shipment from a Tyco Security

Products distribution centre.

Where the product is part of a major project and a failure is discovered during final

commissioning and it is more than 30 days after shipment from Tyco Security Products, Tyco

Security Products may at their sole discretion and subject to supporting evidence extend the

period for special provisions on a case by case basis.

Under the special provisions, Business Partners may follow their normal process to order a new

Advance Replacement item from Tyco Security Products. Advance Replacement items are

ordered at the Business Partner’s usual price and are subject to all normal delivery times. All

normal Terms and Conditions including cancellation terms apply to orders placed for Advance

Replacement items. Faulty items must be returned to Tyco Security Products using the returns

process detailed in Section 3 of this document. Business Partners can only receive a credit for a

failed product once it has been returned and is confirmed by Tyco Security Products as being a

true Out of Box failure.

Product Returns

When making a Return, it is important for a Business Partner to detail within Email RMA request

if they have purchased an Advance Replacement item. If Email RMA request does not show

that an Advance Replacement part was purchased, Tyco will not issue a credit and will repair

and return the failed unit to the Business Partner. No credit will be issued once a repaired unit

has been returned to a Business Partner.

Business Partners are at liberty to await Tyco Security Products confirmation of Out of Box

failure prior to placing further orders.

In the event that an Advance Replacement is ordered:

Where the returned product is found to be in warranty and is deemed by Tyco Security

Products or their approved European Repair Centre (ERC) to be a genuine out of box failure

a full credit will be issued for the value of the Advance Replacement item.

Where the returned product is found to be in warranty but is deemed by Tyco Security

Products or their approved ERC not to be faulty (no fault found) no credit will be issued and

the product will be returned to the Business Partner. Tyco Security Products reserves the

right to levy reasonable charges to cover the inspection and shipping of the goods to and

from their premises.

Where the returned product is deemed by Tyco Security Products or their approved ERC to

be warranty expired or warranty void no credit will be issued and Tyco Security Products




United Kingdom

Tel: +44 (0) 20 8750 5660

Fax: +44 (0) 20 8897 6520


reserves the right to levy reasonable charges to cover the inspection and shipping of the

goods to and from their premises. If repair is possible, Tyco Security Products will offer a

quotation for repair although no repairs will be affected until a formal Purchase Order has

been received by Tyco in accordance with the guidelines laid out in the next sections. If

repair is not possible, or if repair is not required by the business partner, Tyco Security

Products will either return the failed unit un-repaired, or dispose of the failed unit at the

business partner’s discretion. Note that charges for disposal may apply.

Special order items are specifically excluded from the provisions for Out of Box Failure.

Warranty of Replacement Item

The Advance Replacement supplied in an Out of Box failure situation will be a brand new

product so the full warranty will be applied as defined in the published EMEA Business Partner

Price List.

Chargeable Out of Warranty Repairs

Tyco Security Products operates a repairs service and will wherever possible offer a fixed price

for the repair of products which are no longer covered by warranty. The Price List for Fixed

Price Repairs is available from your Regional Manager or from Customer Service.

Where a product is not listed on the Fixed Price Repair List, it may be returned for inspection

and a quotation will be provided if repair is considered to be viable although no repairs will be

affected until a formal Purchase Order has been received by Tyco.

Outline Returns Process for Chargeable Out of Warranty Repairs


Beyond Economical Repair (BER)

For products which are no longer covered by warranty, Beyond Economical Repair (BER) is

defined as:

Units received with printed circuit boards or major electronic components missing.

Units with major mechanical or major component damage.

In the event that Tyco Security Products deems a product to be Beyond Economical Repair,

Tyco Security Products will notify the Business Partner. The Business Partner will need to

decide whether to scrap the goods or have them returned. A charge to cover investigation and

shipping will be levied for all returned products which are no longer covered by warranty and are

subsequently deemed to be Beyond Economical Repair. Charges may also be levied for

disposal of unwanted items.

Warranty of Repair

Where products which are no longer covered by their original warranty are returned to Tyco for

chargeable repairs, the European Repair Centre will provide six months warranty on all repair

work undertaken. This warranty only covers the repair undertaken and does not extend the

overall product warranty.

In order to claim under the repair warranty, the item will need to be returned by submitting an

Email RMA request. Additionally, we will need:

The faulty product in accordance with RMA Customer Instruction procedure, SRB-201103

A detailed report of the fault or symptom must be provided within Email RMA template.

Optionally, a Failure Report Sheet (or similar) which describes the failure symptom may be

returned with the physical product

Details of the previous repair carried out, if applicable.

Details of the previous RMA reference number, if applicable.

3. Returns Procedure

Process for In-Warranty Returns

The step by step process covering In-Warranty returns is:

Business Partner contacts Customer Services making it known that they have a product

which has failed In-Warranty and places an order for a Warranty Replacement part. Note

that all normal Terms and Conditions, including cancellation terms apply.

Customer Services will need details of the failed unit, including the original purchase order

number and may require additional information such as Technical Support Case Numbers,

Serial Numbers and MAC Addresses.

Customer Service will advise based on the date of supply whether the equipment believed to

have failed is covered under warranty. This only confirms the original supply date and

doesn’t mean that Tyco Security Products accepts the product is a genuine warranty failure.

The product must be returned using the Email RMA request for full evaluation.

If a Warranty Replacement item is ordered, Customer Services will dispatch the Warranty

Replacement product. Supply of a Warranty Replacement part is subject to normal delivery

timescales and charges.

Warranty Replacements are supplied without ancillary products (except for furnished

external power supplies).

On receipt of the Warranty Replacement product the Business Partner may need to work

with Technical Support to arrange the transfer of any software licenses to their replacement

unit. It is imperative that the Business Partner has transferred any software licenses from

the suspected failed unit before it is returned to Tyco Security Products for full evaluation.

The failed unit should be carefully repacked into its original shipping carton for return. If the

original packing is no longer available, then the shipping carton from the Warranty

Replacement product should be used. Only furnished external PSUs (i.e. those originally

supplied with the product) should be returned. Ancillary items, accessories and cables, etc.

should not be returned.

Business Partner should fully complete an Email Returns Material Authorisation (RMA)

request and ship goods to Tyco Security Products European Repair Centre (ERC) when

RMA is provided. Shipments to the ERC must be fully in accordance with the instructions

laid out within the Email RMA request template. Further details can be found in the

instruction document SRB-201103 RMA Customer Instructions.

Business Partner ships the goods to the appropriate ERC in line with the carriage and

shipping instructions below.

The RMA will be updated and deemed as Closed once the unit has been agreed as faulty

and credit issued, or if the item is no fault found, or warranty void.

Process for Out of Box Failure

The step by step process covering Out of Box failures is:

Business Partner contacts Customer Services making it known that they have a product

which will be covered by the Special Provisions for an Out of Box Failure and places an

order for a new Advance Replacement part making it known this is an Advance Replacement

for an Out of Box Failure. Note that all normal Terms and Conditions, including cancellation

terms apply.

Customer Services will need details of the failed unit, including the original purchase order

number and may require additional information such as Technical Support Case Numbers,

Serial Numbers and MAC Addresses.

Customer Service will advise based on the date of supply whether the equipment believed to

have failed is covered under the special provisions for Out of Box failure. This only confirms

the original supply date and doesn’t mean that Tyco Security Products accepts the product is

a genuine warranty failure. The product must be returned using the Email RMA request for

full evaluation.

If an Advance Replacement item is ordered, Customer Services will dispatch the Advance

Replacement product. Supply of an Advance Replacement part is subject to normal delivery

timescales and charges.

On receipt of the Advance Replacement product the Business Partner may need to work with

Technical Support to arrange the transfer of any software licenses to their Advance

Replacement unit. It is imperative that the Business Partner has transferred any software

licenses from the suspected failed unit before it is returned to Tyco Security Products for full

evaluation.

The failed unit should be carefully repacked into its original shipping carton for return. If the

original packing is no longer available, then the shipping carton from the Advance

Replacement product should be used. All parts which accompanied the failed unit, e.g.

manuals, PSUs, cables, etc. must be returned.

8. Turnaround Time

ERC Measurement of Turnaround Time (TAT)

With the exception of repairs with no fixed price, the target for Repair and Warranty Credit is 20

working days from point of receipt at the ERC to despatch from the ERC.

For repairs with no fixed price, the target repair turnaround time will commence once the repair

quotation has been approved in the form of a Purchase Order.

Priority of Work

Returns and repairs are normally managed on a FIFO (First In, First Out) basis however

prioritisation can be requested at any time and all requests will be fully considered in context of

operating the repairs scheme to deliver an acceptable service level to all Business Partners.

9. Quality

Accreditation

European Repair Centres are ISO9001:2008 and ISO9002 accredited.

Objectives

All servicing will be made to “Good Commercial Standards”.

Any problems found will be diagnosed and where possible repaired.

With the exception of Intellex, software installed on all units repaired will be upgraded to

the latest version possible (for that unit).

For Intellex, software versions are not normally updated to avoid possible compatibility

issues with other system components. Instead the latest patches for the version of

software installed on the Intellex will be applied.

The ERC will provide a Failure Report Sheet with all repair returns.

All units will be tested after servicing has been completed and where applicable

additional soak testing will be undertaken.

Serviced units will be cleaned as far as possible to ensure that they are cosmetically

acceptable, however, it must be noted that this is NOT a refurbishment process.
