This warranty is in effect up until 60,000 copies or the number of copies rated for the photoreceptor by the copier manufacturer, whichever is lower, with a 6 month maximum coverage. Under circumstances where drum fails within this period, Copier1 will provide a replacement drum and drum blade parts free of charge. This warranty excludes labor, although often these drums are cartridge-style and can be easily installed by customer. All drum warranties are for DRUM/Photoreceptor only, not entire imaging units. On smaller machines or mother machines with imaging units with a drum included and only generally sold in cartridge firm, there is no drum warranty.
  7. Delivery and Installation.Copier1 guarantees that unless otherwise stated, all copiers will be operable or made operable upon receipt by customer, or thereafter if additional installation support is required, with respect to print, copy, scan, and- when purchased- fax features. Delivery includes Windows networking where available via remote services provided from Copier1 offices. On-site networking is typically unnecessary and if requested by customer will be billed at market rates to be determined by Copier1. MAC networking may be billed additionally. Free remote networking services will be included with all retail installations, excluding where firewalls have been established, or where outside networking personnel may have created network barriers, thus prohibiting Copier1 staff or contractors from providing remote services. Customer will allow Copier1 technical customer service personnel access to their network for the customer to receive remote networking support. In cases where such remote access is unavailable or prevented by security policies of customer, Copier1 will still provide telephone or email technical support, including video instruction or electronically distributed technical materials to support network installations. Most copiers install without incident. Because of the very costly nature of preparing and delivering large, heavy, and delicate equipment, delivery times may be extended beyond the average 10 business days and is highly dependent upon specific machine ordered and location of customer. Customer agrees that under no circumstances will a delay in delivery be valid grounds for order cancellation. If delivery is refused by customer, customer agrees to be fully be liable for  all charges invoiced, plus and re-delivery or other fees related to movement of product resulting from customer’s refusal of delivery. Delivery quotes and charged fees include standard business installations, and do not include 1.)stairs; 2.)Enhanced security or additional insurance; 3.) Removal of old equipment  4.) Lease returns; 5.) Home delivery 6.) Traversing lawns, r fields or any non-hard surfaces, and /or 7.)Hardwood floors. We are capable of delivering to most non-standard environments, but there will be additional fees consistent with the costs of such special deliveries and/or removals and/or special circumstances.
  8. Free Network Installation. Copier1 shall provide retail customers of non-production machines free remote networking, provided by Copier1 technical support staff or contractors. THIS IS NOT ON-SITE NETWORKING, nor is on-site networking typically necessary for standard networked print, scan, and email compatible installation. Customer hereby agrees to provide suitable network environment for installation of products purchased from Copier1. Customer-owned firewalls, outdated operating systems or other installed software, and/or any other network security features that prevent Copier1 from networking, supporting, servicing, or otherwise providing technical support for products or services offered by Copier1, shall never result in customer refusal to accept equipment, or use of such refusal for purposes of denying leasing company delivery acceptance or credit card charges. Failure to accept equipment based upon issues related to software, firewalls or security features which prevent said installation or support shall be considered breach of this contract by customer, and under no circumstances will be considered a valid reason to deny payment. Copier1 does not directly warranty or support any Fiery or CREO network interfaces.
  9. Necessary repairs. Copiers may not operate perfectly or at all immediately after shipment upon first powering on, and Copier1 guarantees to remedy any installation issues or malfunctions. Remember, shipping is the most difficult time for a copier, and MOST ISSUES IN THE FIRST HOURS OR DAYS AFTER DELIVERY ARE SIMPLY THE RESULT TO REQUIRED POST-SHIPMENT ADJUSTMENTS AND/OR OPERATOR ERROR. First duty of the customer in circumstances where copier arrives inoperable is for customer to contact Copier1.com Help Desk for technical support. Copier1 management will provide customer with technician upon determined requirement. Any repairs to be paid for by Copier1 must be pre-approved by Copier1 management BEFORE repairs are performed. Copier1 will assist with shipping claims and, in most cases, supply all damaged parts without cost in advance of any claims being paid. We use new and refurbished parts made by various manufacturers in performing warranty repairs and in building replacement parts and systems. All parts and systems are inspected and tested for quality. Replacement parts and systems are covered for the remaining period of the limited warranty for the product originally purchased. Copier1 owns all parts removed from repaired products and customer will return in prepaid packaging upon request. Copier1 guarantees do not extend beyond the warranty periods for specific coverage terms of the covered components, and all machines are subject to possible and likely further maintenance requirements.
