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.
