  4. Customers agree to insure their product or assume the risk of loss or damage during transit, to prepay shipping charges, and to use the original shipping container or an equivalent when they ship products to Moxa for repairs. Customers may either seek assistance from the original dealer, or from the closest Moxa Service Office.
  5. Customers shall be responsible for backing up their product configuration settings and data contained in internal storage (hard drives, flash drives, etc.) before sending Moxa products for repair. Moxa will not be responsible for loss of data or configuration settings stored in the product.
  6. Repaired or replaced products are warrantied for 3 months from the date of repair or replacement, or for the remainder of the original product's warranty period, whichever is longer.

  6. Expendable items, such as a fuse.
  7. Products with an altered and/or illegible serial number.

Service Terms & Charges

Once the Customer agrees to a product inspection, Moxa will inspect the product, send a quote for the total repair cost, and will wait for the Customer’s approval.

If the Customer does not want Moxa’s repair service, Moxa will either return the defective product to the Customer or scrap the product locally, based on the Customer’s decision. If the product is out of warranty, the Customer will be responsible for the shipping costs.

Once the Customer authorizes Moxa to repair the defective product, the total charges will be calculated as per the following table:

RMA Product   Within Warranty* Outside Warranty
Shipping Costs To a Moxa Service Center Paid by Customer/Distributor Paid by Customer/Distributor
From a Moxa Service Center to the Customer/Distributor Covered by Moxa Paid by Customer/Distributor
Note: If the Customer does not want Moxa’s repair service, Moxa will either return the defective product to the Customer or scrap the product locally, based on the Customer’s decision.
Inspection Fee   No fee Paid by Customer/Distributor
Repair Fees and Parts   No fee Paid by Customer/Distributor
Note: Once the Customer agrees to a product inspection, Moxa will inspect the product, send a quote for the total repair cost, and will wait for the Customer’s approval. Moxa will charge for repair of products where the warranty period has expired or have damage that is excluded from the warranty coverage.

*Products within the warranty period as specified in Moxa’s warranty policy and have not been excluded under any of the conditions specified in the Warranty Exclusions section.

Note:

If the warranty period of the returned product has expired or a product within the warranty period is excluded for warranty coverage due to reasons mentioned in the Warranty Exclusions section:

  1. Moxa reserves the right to repair the product in due course, based on its inventory of spare units and parts.
  2. Moxa will charge an inspection fee if the Customer agrees to Moxa performing an inspection of the product. Following this, Moxa will send a pro forma invoice by email.
  3. After receiving the email quotation, Customers can decide whether or not they want to avail Moxa’s repair service. If a Customer decides not to avail Moxa’s repair service, the product will be returned to the Customer in return for the cost of shipping the product back. Alternatively, Customers can opt for Moxa to scrap the product locally at no extra cost.

Post-warranty Repair Service

For large-order projects, Customers may purchase a post-warranty repair service. However, some products may have a shorter chipset life cycle, or some parts may have a limited warranty period from the original supplier of the parts. Please contact your local sales representative if you would like to avail this service.

Limitation of Liability

The provisions of this warranty are in lieu of any other warranty, whether express or implied, written or oral. Moxa's liability arising out of the manufacture, sale, or supply of a product and its use, whether based on warranty, contract, negligence, product liability, or otherwise, shall not exceed the original cost of the product. In no event shall Moxa be liable for unintended or consequential damages, including, but not limited to, loss of profits or use, and damages arising out of the manufacture, sale, or supplying of the product.
