TRC or your reseller will inform you of the available types of service for a Product based on its country of installation. At its discretion, TRC or your reseller will 1) either repair or exchange the failing Product and 2) provide the service either at your location or a service center. TRC or your reseller will also manage and install selected engineering changes that apply to the Product.

You must return all defective CRPs to TRC within 30 days of your receipt of the replacement CRP. You are responsible for downloading designated software and Licensed Internal software updates from a TRC Internet Web site or from other electronic media, and following the instructions that TRC provides.

You represent that all removed items are genuine and unaltered. The replacement may not be new, but will be in good working order and at least functionally equivalent to the item replaced. The replacement assumes the warranty service status of the replaced item. Many features, conversions, or upgrades involve the removal of parts and their return to TRC. A part that replaces a removed part will assume the warranty service status of the removed part. Before TRC or your reseller exchanges a Product or part, you agree to remove all features, parts, options, alterations, and attachments not under warranty service. You also agree to 1. ensure that the Product is free of any legal obligations or restrictions that prevent its exchange 2. obtain authorization from the owner to have TRC or your reseller service a Product that you do not own; and 3. where applicable, before service is provided: a. follow the problem determination, problem analysis, and service request procedures that TRC or your reseller provides b. provide TRC or your reseller with sufficient, free, and safe access to your facilities to permit them to fulfill their obligations; and c. inform TRC or your reseller of changes in a Product’s location.
