HOT-SWAPS**

To maintain productivity, we provide hot-swap devices in exchange for a defective device. The replaced device remains in the possession of the customer and is sent in a flight case. This ensures the defective device is returned promptly. Price depends on the device.
The repair cost for the defective device will be invoiced according repair category A to D.

** If a machine is defect within the 1st month of warranty, a hot-swap is granted without charge. Hot-Swap only available if machine younger than 36m and version still in production.
