Warranty
Standard Warranty and Product Life Cycle
Warranty Service offerings are designed to provide additional and comprehensive support throughout the product life cycle, from installation to extended warranty services. DZS’s Manufacturer’s standard warranty is provided automatically with the purchase of every new product at no additional charge. The period of warranty is determined based on the platform, but it is typically for the first year from the date of purchase. Warranty customers may choose to purchase additional support coverage through one of DZS’s Service and Support Programs to upgrade their access to technical support and electronic assistance.
End of Sale Policy (EoSP)
After a product/solution is announced as End of Sale(EoS), then final customer sales orders can be placed with DZS up to 1 month after EoS date. After the EoS date plus 1 Month, no more orders will be accepted by DZS.
End of Technical Support (EoTS)
Six (6) months after the EoS date is announced then the product/solution has reached the End of Technical Support (EoTS) state and no more technical assistance is permitted, unless a customer as a valid service contract plan.
End of Life Policy
One (1) year after EoS date is announced then the product/solution has reached the End of Life (EoL) state, the product is no longer supported by DZS.
