Uptime Loaner Program

Our Uptime loaner program is designed to provide domestic users of our headend products and commercial systems the best possible support and service. This program is  
established to minimize downtime resulting from equipment failure in critical service situations. We offer this program free-of-charge (excluding freight) to qualified purchasers within 
the warranty period. The program provides a free equipment loan of like qualified equipment enabling seamless operation for the time required to repair and return the unit.

The process is simple. Call our Customer Service desk requesting a return-merchandise-authorization (RMA) number for the failed equipment and ask for a loaner unit. We will issue 
an invoice for the List Price of the loaner unit plus shipping costs. When you receive the loaner unit, pack the failed unit in the loaner unit’s box and ship it freight prepaid to Pico 
Macom for repair. When you receive the repaired unit, a new RMA number will be provided in the box. Carefully pack the loaner unit and affix the new RMA number on the box and 
ship it back to us for full credit excluding shipping costs.

To qualify for the program, you must have current open-terms with us and in good standing. We must receive your failed unit within one week after the loaner unit is shipped to you, 
and must likewise receive the loaner unit within one week after the repaired unit is shipped back to you. Daily rental fees not to exceed 10% of the equipment’s List Price will apply 
beyond one week after the loaner or repaired unit are shipped to you. Other limitations may apply, so please call us for additional information on qualifying equipment and procedures. 
Pico Macom reserves the right to modify or discontinue the Uptime Loaner Program at any time, and at its sole discretion.

Damage or Shortage Claims

Our shipping staff carefully packs and ships your orders in compliance with common carriers’ requirements. Please make note of any obvious damage or shortage on the freight bill 
or carrier’s receipt next to your signature. The carrier’s agent must too sign acknowledging the loss. Failure to do so may result in the carrier’s refusal to honor the claim. Please open 
your order immediately upon receipt to check for concealed damage and compare the packing list to the items shipped. If damaged, keep the original shipping cartons for possible 
inspection by the carrier. You must report claims for loss or damage within 3 days of delivery, while claims for erroneous charges or price corrections must be presented within 30 
days of invoice date.

Returning Shipped Items

To return any shipped items, including those shipped for warranty repairs or credit, call our Customer Service desk to request a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. 
Please reference the original invoice number and purchase date, and product serial number (if any). Be certain to mark the RMA number on the package boldly and legibly. Unless 
we specify a different carrier, please ship your returned items to us via UPS freight prepaid and fully insured. If returned for credit, we will promptly process your request upon 
receipt of your return order.
