Repair conditions and process

Return of defective goods / repair sheet
Please fill in the repair sheet with as much detail as possible on the description of the defect and enclose it with the shipment. A check of the number and type of material will be done at the reception of the goods. SmartLiberty will contact the customer if the number/type of material received does not correspond with the repair sheet. Under no circumstances can SmartLiberty be held responsible for missing material when returning for repair if the repair sheet was not sent with the material. Please also have a completed repair sheet available if you are giving equipment directly to one of our technicians for on-site service. The repair sheet will be emailed back to the address listed on the repair sheet with the RMA (repair case number)(s) for each item. If you have any questions regarding a repair, please quote the RMA number of the item in question.

Spare parts 
We remind our customers that most parts of our equipment are replaceable. Please take advantage of the opportunity to repair small damages quickly and cheaply. Please see the accessories catalogue for more information.
We consider that mechanical repairs of badges (replacement of covers, casings and wristbands) as well as battery changes can be done by the customer himself. If badges are sent to us only for one of the two reasons mentioned above (the electronics of the badge are functioning correctly), the mechanical repair and/or battery change, as well as the function tests will be charged at CHF 60.00 (excl. VAT, including hardware).
During the two-year warranty period, the mechanics of resident and personal badges will be replaced free of charge (except in cases of vandalism), provided that the defective parts are sent for repair.

Smartphones
For any request for the repair of smartphones, we ask you to use the appropriate form provided and to return it with the smartphone to EP SenSat, our repair partner. They will send you an estimate for the device in question if it is not under warranty. Any invoicing will be done directly between EP SenSat and the customer. Batteries for smartphones are not covered by the MUS maintenance contracts and depend on the model (Samsung warranty, usually 6 months). The use of smartphones not certified by SmartLiberty is not possible. 
If you are not sure if your smartphone has a software problem or if it is the smartphone itself that has a problem, do not hesitate to contact SmartLiberty support who will be able to do a remote analysis to see what is the basis of the problem and if it should be sent for repair.


Starter kit
A starter kit, containing various spare parts, is offered to you at the commissioning of the SmartLiberty installation. With this kit you can repair your system directly with a basic material. You can recommend this kit separately.
Material damage
We consider as material damage, any defective condition of the material which does not result from a technical malfunction attributable to SmartLiberty (normal wear and tear, vandalism, tinkering, mechanical breakage, lightning, flooding, overvoltage, etc.). 

Delivery and packaging costs
A delivery and packaging fee is added to each repair invoice (15.- CHF or 40.- CHF excl. tax depending on the size of the shipment). For cases that do not generate an invoice, delivery and packaging are free of charge. 

Service time
We charge the full amount for every hour started (182 CHF / hr excl. VAT)

Conditions
These conditions can be adapted by SmartLiberty at any time. In case of dispute, the conditions of the MUS maintenance contract will prevail. All prices are exclusive of VAT.
