Obtaining Warranty Service

To obtain service under this warranty, contact Tangent Technical Support at 1-800-399-TECH (8324), or e-mail [email protected], or access support.

When you contact Tangent Technical Support, we will ask you to participate in some limited, phone-based troubleshooting to help identify the cause of the problem. Tangent's focus on remote troubleshooting can help minimize overall system downtime by remotely fixing the problem or enable us to identify and, if applicable, dispatch the right part (if necessary) - all in an effort to get your system up and running as fast as possible on the first call.

You will help the technician serve you better if you have your unit serial number, operating system version, and peripheral information. Tangent Tech Support can then access our database for your system history.

Let the technician know what error message you are receiving and when it occurs, as well as what steps you may have already taken to solve the problem.

If the problem cannot be resolved over the phone, a technician will either authorize replacement part(s) for Customer Self-Service (CSS) components such as hard drive/memory or the return of the full system to Tangent for repair. The customer is responsible for damage incurred when replacing CSS components, and for charges incurred for returning products to Tangent. Refer to the Terms of Limited Warranties section of this document for specific customer rights and responsibilities. A Customer Support representative will instruct the customer in the specific service details for each situation. The following is a list of information concerning equipment return:

The technician who authorizes the return of the equipment will issue a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) Number. This number must be clearly marked on the outside of each box returned to Tangent. Tangent's receiving department will refuse boxes without an RMA number clearly visible.

CSS replacement parts will be shipped, subject to availability, at Tangent's expense, via standard ground delivery service after customer obtains an RMA number. Expedited delivery service may be authorized at Tangent's discretion. Tangent shall not be responsible for failure of the delivery service to make on-time delivery. Tangent will strive to complete full system repairs within two to four weeks of receipt of the system subject to parts availability. Customers with Extended Advanced Exchange Contract will receive a replacement unit in advance of the repair.

The customer must return the defective product(s) to Tangent in the original box and packaging or comparable, sufficient packaging material with the RMA number clearly identified on the packaging. Unreturned replacement CSS components or a defective system from an Advanced Exchange are the financial responsibility of the customer. If the customer fails to return the defective part or system within ten 10 business days from the date the RMA number is obtained, customer is required to compensate Tangent by purchasing the unreturned parts or systems from Tangent. Failure to return defective parts within 10 days receipt of RMA number will result in denial of future part replacement, RMA services, On-Site services, and self-maintainer services. Please retain the shipping information, including tracking numbers, until Tangent has credited the account. This will serve as proof of return. Please keep this information on file for the life of your system warranty.

Warranty service for return to depot repairs (not part of Advanced Exchange) will be honored for 30 days from creation of the RMA. If after 30 days the full system is not returned to Tangent for repairs, the RMA will be voided and a new RMA will need to be created.

IMPORTANT!

BACK UP THE HARD DISK BEFORE RETURNING THE SYSTEM. TANGENT IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR LOSS OF DATA.
Include a brief note describing the conversations with Tangent personnel regarding the problem. Include the system serial number and order number. In case there are any questions, list the name and telephone number of the person directly responsible for maintaining the equipment.

Use the original box and packaging material or comparable, sufficient packaging material to protect the equipment during shipment. Do not include unnecessary items (such as software and manuals). Tangent assumes no responsibility for equipment damaged during shipment from customer to factory or from factory to customer, whether within or outside of the warranty period.

Use the following address for shipment unless instructed otherwise by a Tangent Technical Support Center representative:
Tangent
191 Airport Blvd
Burlingame, CA 94010

Toll-Free Technical Hardware Support

PLEASE CALL 1-800-399-TECH (8324)

The Tangent toll-free support line will operate from 6:00 AM to 5:00 PM Pacific Time, Monday thru Friday, excluding Tangent authorized holidays. Tangent provides toll-free technical support for the life of the system, whether the system is currently under service contract. Most problems can be diagnosed over the phone and, if necessary, a replacement part may be quickly shipped, or service arranged. Tangent does not, however, provide technical support for products purchased from third party vendors.

Parts Delivery and On-site Service

For calls resolved by Tangent Technical Support before 12:00 PM Pacific Time, if applicable and dependent upon part availability, customers should receive parts delivery within 1 to 5 business days. For calls resolved after 12:00 PM Pacific Time, the part may take additional business day for processing.

On-site service is available as an Extended Support Contract. Once the part is shipped, if appropriate, the on-site visit will be scheduled. When available, on-site service is provided by a Tangent or independent third-party service provider. If on-site service is not available in the customer's location, the customer will have the choice of either a) returning the unit to Tangent for repair or b) working with a Tangent technician over the phone to install the replacement material. A technician is dispatched, if necessary, pursuant to phone-based troubleshooting. If you or your authorized representative are not at the location when the service technician arrives, and therefore the system cannot be serviced, you may be charged for a follow-up service call.

Software Imaging Service

Software Imaging Service is available as an Extended Support Contract. Images can be pre-loaded onto a customer's hard drive. Tangent provides for installation and duplication of software only if the original software and licenses are provided to Tangent. Tangent will, if requested, maintain an image backup. The original software is returned to the customer. The image will then be used for installation on additional units.

Service Contract Options

Extended Service Contracts
Extended warranty service contracts may be entered into. If a warranty period has already elapsed, a recertification of the existing equipment may be necessary prior to execution of a service contract. Advanced Exchange, onsite services, and extended warranty services are offered.
