Exchange/Replacement Product

Wyse Technology has the option under warranty to repair or replace a product with a like product. Wyse classifies some replacement products as “R” stock. For better identification, we have marked them with an “R” after the part number. The serial number location is either on the bottom or back of the unit. The “R” stock meets new product specifications, looks ‘like’ new and is packaged in new boxes. The “R” stock may consist of new products previously used as sales demos, stock rotations, or repaired product. Any product used to replace a defective product carries the balance of the original product warranty. For example, if a 3-year warranted product is replaced after one year, the replacement product carries the balance of the two years of the remaining warranty. Wyse will however contact you before we replace your product to insure that the replacement product will work within your thin client environment and will not cause any compatibility issues.
