The customer can ship a defective hardware component to ASA, after which ASA will ship a replacement part to customer via Fed Ex Ground service. The customer has the option of shipping back the entire system to ASA for diagnosis, repair, etc.

Advanced Parts Replacement Warranty

Customers choosing this option will have the replacement parts shipped to them within 2 days by ground delivery (in case of defective, non-functional components). ASA will NOT wait to receive the defective parts, inorder to ship out replacement parts. Parts will be shipped subject to availability.

In case of discontinued parts, equivalent or higher specs parts will be shipped on customer approval. Hard drives are not included for cross-ship warranty.

Calls generated by operator errors rather than defective hardware
Power surge, or lightning damage
