To return a defective Device, please contact our Support Department for a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number and follow the “RMA (Returning Merchandise Authorization) Policy” Instructions below. The RMA is valid for 30 days from date of issuance. Returns will not be accepted without an RMA. Manufacturer restrictions do apply. Any item missing the UPC on the original packaging may not be returned.

RMA (Returning Merchandise Authorization) Policy:

ACROMOVE INC. Devices may be returned for repairs or hardware updates, while under warranty and for previously paid upgrades/retrofitting. ACROMOVE INC. Devices may not be returned for repair or hardware update, without prior written approval from the Technical Service Department of ACROMOVE INC.

Returns must be done within 30 days from date of issue of the RMA confirmation to avoid automatic cancellation of the request. All RMA confirmations are issued within 24 hours. A return address will be provided on the RMA confirmation. The returnee will be responsible for contacting the assigned carrier to schedule a pick-up.

Devices, prior to being shipped to the Supplier for either repairs, returns or upgrades, as defined in their respective paragraphs/Exhibits, shall have all possible personal/corporate data, that are unrelated to the function of the devices, erased according to the Special Publication 800-88 Revision1,Guidelines for Media Sanitization, as defined by the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST). Adequate and successful erasing of all possible sensitive personal/corporate data is the client’s sole responsibility.

Acromove is not liable of any leaks of personal/corporate data that might happen due to client’s insufficient methods of data sanitization.

The RMA number must be clearly marked on all packages. Failure to clearly mark all packages with the RMA number may result in additional charges. It is solely the responsibility of the returnee to package all parts so that they are not lost or damaged during the return shipping.

The use of the provided packaging, SoftCase or carton box with cushion that your Device came with must be used any time your Device is transported. Ship the malfunctioning Device with your name, address, phone number, description of the problem(s), and the RMA number you have obtained to:

ACROMOVE INC. Service Center

RMA#____________

ADDRESS

Upon receiving the Device, ACROMOVE INC. will repair or replace your Device (at ACROMOVE INC.’s discretion) and will ship it back to you within a reasonable amount of time (dependent on parts availability).

Cross-exchange (Parts only)

You will need to provide a valid credit card number as a deposit guarantee when the RMA number is issued. Once approval has been obtained on your credit card, the part(s) will be shipped. You will need to ship defective part(s) back to ACROMOVE INC. within 15 days to avoid charges to your credit card. If such charges are incurred, the shipped part(s) will be billed at the then current price.

After One-Year Warranty – Out of Warranty Repair

For Out of Warranty repair or Not Covered from warranty repairs, the procedure is the same as outlined above for RMA and shipping. However, you are responsible for shipping charges both ways, current labor ($200 per hour if not under warranty), and the current price of part(s) used in repair.

If there is an Out of Warranty repair, ACROMOVE INC. will make an estimation of cost in a written quote. The quote should be accepted within 14 days, if it is accepted ACROMOVE INC. will proceed with the repair, if it is not accepted the Device will be either returned (if there is a carrier assigned from Customer) or notified and stored in our warehouse with a cost of 100$ per week as a penalty until the Customer assigns a carrier for return.

If the Device will be stored for more than 1 year and the Customer does not pay the penalty, the Device will be accounted abandoned by ACROMOVE INC. and it will be confiscated as a compensation for the amount owed by the Customer without any additional compensation whatsoever to the Customer, regardless of the original value of the Device paid by the Customer.

Technical Support:

ACROMOVE INC. provides warranty service at our Athens, Greece and San Fernando, CA, USA facilities. Telephone support is available from each facility Monday through Friday during normal business hours. We also provide online support for customers using special channels set up in Slack. More information is available at www.acromove.com/support/

ACROMOVE INC. Devices normally have an IPMI port that we may use to remotely access the machines where we can often identify and solve technical problems (client must approve firewall and/or VPN access) without physical presence of our tech personnel. Ask for remote support options to get a better and faster response time on your service requests.

Warranty Extensions:

The Standard Warranty for Serverpack 35 and ServerPack Edge products is one (1) year covering defects in components and workmanship as described above. Because our products are typically used in the field and subject to uncertain conditions and treatment, Acromove offers Support options (described below) that can be purchased for the first and additional years.

If no Support contract is in place for subsequent years, Acromove will only repair its products on a time/material basis as described above in Out of Warranty Repair. Components that carry separate and longer warranties (e.g. motherboard, network cards, disks) will be repaired by Acromove or replaced at its discretion through the term of the third party’s warranty.

Support Contracts:

Any support contract made between Acromove and the owner of its products assumes that the owner is utilizing “best practices” in their operation to ensure the products can perform up to their potential. The owner must be responsible for testing to assure the products will function as specified before the start of any project, and must assess the condition of the products on return from any project in order to determine when any problems occurred. We recommend using checklists that detail the tasks to be performed before a machine leaves and when it returns (Acromove may provide sample checklists on request). Use of special tamper evident and numbered stickers is a best practice that must be followed by owner. Acromove will provide sample stickers for initial operation of units.

Standard Support:

Standard Support is an add-on for regular purchases that do not include any additional Service Level Agreement. It includes parts and labor not covered by the Standard Warranty for “normal use” repairs (defined above) in our Service Centers for a period of one (1) years parts and labor.  Damage covered by Standard Support includes such that can be termed misuse, abuse, neglect, bad transport handling, improper shipping or installation, and other damage caused by rough handling that require repair to continue using the product. The repairs shall not exceed 20% of the MSRP of the main product model. Costs beyond the limit shall be handled on a time and materials basis.

If any repair is required in excess of 20% of price of units due to catastrophic damage or failure caused by external factors where the Pelican case enclosing our chassis is crushed or breached to such a degree that the chassis is distorted thereby rendering the Products unusable, or if the chassis has been removed from the Pelican case and is damaged in such a manner, your only solution in cases such as this is liability coverage that may be carried by your company on assets, or you can pay the excess cost of such repairs.

Customer pays shipping to Acromove service centers, return shipping is paid by Acromove via ground services (customer may pay for faster return if necessary). All RMA shipments are done according to Acromove RMA process described above.

Standard Support is handled through our Service Centers and online through our web site and Slack support channels between 10:00 EET to 20:00 EET (Eastern European Time) Monday through Friday, and we may also have a call if needed.

Acromove makes every effort to stock the parts typically needed for repairs. Repairs will be completed within 5 working days if all parts are available. If we must wait for delivery from component manufacturers response time may vary and we will inform the owner of the expected completion date.

Standard Support contract cost is quoted separately. 10% per device, per year.

Extended Support – Service Level Agreement

Extended Support – Service Level Agreement is for clients who have entered into an agreement with Acromove where they purchase 10 or more units and Acromove provides one additional unit as a Hot Spare (one Hot Spare for every 10 purchased).  Damage covered by Extended Support includes such that can be termed misuse, abuse, neglect, bad transport handling, improper shipping or installation, and other damage caused by rough handling that require repair to continue using the product. The repairs shall not exceed 20% of the MSRP of the main product model. Costs beyond the limit shall be handled on a time and materials basis.

If any repair is required in excess of 20% of price of units due to catastrophic damage or failure caused by external factors where the Pelican case enclosing our chassis is crushed or breached to such a degree that the chassis is distorted thereby rendering the Products unusable, or if the chassis has been removed from the Pelican case and is damaged in such a manner, your only solution in cases such as this is liability coverage that may be carried by your company on assets, or you can pay the excess cost of such repairs.

Acromove pays shipping to Acromove service centers and return shipping is paid by Acromove via ground services (customer may pay for faster return if necessary). All RMA shipments are done according to Acromove RMA process described above.

Extended Support is handled through our Service Centers and online through our web site and Slack support channels between 8:00 EET to 23:00 EET (Eastern European Time) Monday through Friday, and we may also have a call if needed.

Under the Extended Support contract, Acromove supplies a Hot Spare unit that can be swapped out immediately for any unit sent for repair so there is no interruption of use. For repairs, Acromove makes every effort to stock the parts typically needed for repairs. Repairs will be completed within 5 working days if all parts are available. If we must wait for delivery from component manufacturers response time may vary and we will inform the owner of the expected completion date. This policy also applies to the Hot Spare units provided by Acromove.

In addition, Extended Support includes a “Flyover Provision”. Flyover is applicable only when all other efforts of remote troubleshooting are tried first and failed and shipping of the device is not possible due to client’s limitations. When the “Flyover Provision” is invoked, Acromove will dispatch a technician to the location of the repair bringing sufficient spare parts and modules to complete the repair on site. The client will incur the charges for a) direct flights with minimum layover time when no other option is available, b) economy tickets for domestic flights, c) premium economy for long haul flights, d) accommodation to a hotel of at least a Review Score of 8 as in Booking.com with breakfast included, e) client should provide transport to and from the hotel to Acromove tech personnel and if this is not possible then Uber or Lyft charges will be accrued, f) per diem according to IRS rules (as per https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-drop/n-20-71.pdf), h) all above costs are paid by Acromove and invoiced to client last week of the month accrued.

Logistic support is provided but it does not include the incurred costs for customs, taxes, handling, shipping etc. These are paid by Acromove and invoiced to client last week of every month.

Extended Support – Service Level Agreement contract cost is quoted separately.  15% per device, per year.
