Any hardware or software required to repair a fault that is not covered by the warranty will be charged to the customer.
Replacement parts shall be new or refurbished parts equivalent to new. Parts that have been removed shall become the property of the company.

If any other equipment or devices, which have been connected or installed by the customer to the equipment, impair Microlink’s service efforts(in Microlink’s professional judgement), they will be temporarily removed at the customer’s risk and expense, in order to allow Microlink to repair the equipment.
