Service Program Options

Extended Warranty ^{6, 7, 11}

The Standard International Limited Warranty is the base warranty program included with the unit. The standard warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one year or three years from the date of unit purchase, depending on the configuration. If the unit becomes defective during the warranty period, Fujitsu will repair or replace it. If the unit needs to be sent out for repair, Fujitsu pays shipping to and from the Fujitsu depot. By purchasing the Extended Warranty, the customer can extend coverage up to five years total on select configurations.

Onsite Plan ^{6, 7, 12}

Onsite Plan coverage provides next business day onsite non-physical damage related warranty repairs within the contiguous U.S., plus most parts of Alaska and Hawaii and most Canadian population centers. If in the event an onsite repair has been attempted and there was no resolution, Fujitsu reserves the right to request that the failed machine be sent to the Fujitsu Repair Depot for repair. This minimizes the downtime for the customer and ensures that the machine is promptly repaired. Fujitsu will pay for shipping to and from the Fujitsu depot. The Standard International Limited Warranty is also included in this program. Customer can extend coverage up to five years total on select configurations.

Accidental Damage Protection Program ^{6, 7, 9, 12}
