How to Obtain Limited Warranty Service
Ricoh Document Scanners are supplied with Information on unpacking, setup, installation and operation. Careful reading of the manual will answer most of the technical questions the end user might have regarding proper installation, operation and maintenance of the product. However, should additional technical support be required, you may visit our website at: https://www.pfu- us.ricoh.com/support or contact:
PAI’s Technical Assistance Center (“TAC”) 800-626-4686, Option 2 TAC is available Monday- Friday (excluding PAI holidays) 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. PST.
Before placing the call, the eligible purchaser should have the Ricoh Document Scanner model number, part number, serial number and proof of purchase available. The eligible purchaser should also be prepared to provide a description of the problem.
TAC personnel will assist the end user in resolving the problem over the phone. The end user may be asked to run some simple, self-diagnostic tests and report the resulting status and error code messages. This will assist TAC in determining if the problem is the Ricoh Document Scanner or another component and if the problem can be resolved over the phone. If TAC determines a hardware problem exists that is covered either under the Limited Warranty or a purchased Service Program, a Return Material Authorization Number (“RMA”) will be assigned as needed, a service request will be initiated and repair or replacement procedures will follow.
Packaging and Shipping Guidelines
Purchaser must ship all warranty returns in careful compliance with the Packaging and Shipping Guidelines. Failure to do so will void the Ricoh Document Scanner’s warranty. PAI advises the purchaser to keep the original box and packing materials for storing or shipping. The purchaser must return only the Ricoh Document Scanner. Prior to shipment, purchaser must remove and retain all “add-on” items, (i.e. adapters, cables, software, manuals, etc.). PAI accepts no responsibility for these items and they will not be returned with the repaired or replacement Ricoh Document Scanner. All products should be returned to PAI in the original shipping container, or an authorized packaging box for the units being returned. Purchaser must install the shipping restraint before the Ricoh Document Scanner is shipped. When the original packaging is not available, contact PAI’s Technical Assistance Center (“TAC”) at 800-626-4686, option 2, for part numbers and replacement packaging ordering information.
Product Return Procedure
Eligible purchasers seeking services for Ricoh Document Scanners covered under this Limited Warranty must obtain a Return Material Authorization number by calling 800-626-4686, option 2, and within ten (10) business days from the date of issuance of the RMA must return the Ricoh Document Scanner to the address designated in the RMA at the end user’s own expense and risk, in compliance with PAI’s then current Packaging and Shipping Guidelines.
Any defective products or parts replaced by PAI become the property of PAI.
Customer Responsibility
BY REQUESTING SERVICE, THE ELIGIBLE PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THE TERMS OF THE LIMITED WARRANTY, INCLUDING THE DISCLAIMER AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY PROVISIONS. PRIOR TO SEEKING SERVICE, THE END USER MUST BACK-UP ANY DATA OR FILES THAT MAY BECOME DAMAGED OR LOST. PAI IS, WITHOUT LIMITATION, NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR LOST OR DAMAGED DATA OR FILES.
Disclaimer
PAI RESERVES THE RIGHT TO CHANGE AT ANY TIME AND WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE ANY OF ITS PROCEDURES FOR OBTAINING WARRANTY AS SET FORTH IN THIS DOCUMENT.
