Axis provides a 5-year limited hardware warranty (the “warranty”) applicable to the majority of Axis hardware portfolio*.
The warranty includes defects in design, workmanship and material under normal use during the Warranty period. Axis will, under the warranty, either repair or provide replacement of defective hardware products**.
Please note that purchases shipped from Axis to the original purchaser after product discontinuation date might come with a limitation in the hardware warranty. Please update yourself on the warranty coverage when buying products after final order date by consulting Axis 5-year limited hardware policy.
Axis will continue to offer support and RMA service for discontinued products until 6 years*** after the discontinuation date. After this time the product is referred to as "End of support", and Axis will only offer online self-help resources and no longer provide support through helpdesk, chat or phone. As long as the product is within the Warranty period, the RMA service covering hardware, is at no cost**.
If the warranty period has expired or if the RMA service request is not covered by the warranty, then Axis will use its best efforts to support and provide RMA service upon payment of a fee decided by Axis. The primary alternative for Axis RMA service will be to provide service of the discontinued product. However, as an alternative and at Axis sole discretion, the discontinued product may be replaced by the recommended replacement product, as stated on the product page on axis.com. Axis will not provide any additional development work of the discontinued product.
The device software of the hardware, sometimes referred to as AXIS OS, determines its functionality. Axis may, at its sole discretion, give basic support during the applicable warranty period for the hardware. During the warranty period Axis may release maintenance releases or bug fixes to the hardware.
When the Warranty period has elapsed, Axis will no longer develop, maintain, or test the device software in question. However, Axis may, at its sole option and on a per-product-basis, offer support after the expiry of the warranty period. All Axis device software, including but not limited to device software delivered pre-installed on Axis hardware and where hardware is subject to RMA service, is delivered “as is”.
Axis device software is not covered by Axis warranty.
Axis offers IP surveillance software and management software, as a complement to Axis network cameras, video encoders, access control products and other devices. Axis supports the Axis software up until 3 years after issued discontinuation date, in accordance with applicable EULA. During this period Axis may release replacement, maintenance releases or bug fixes to the software product.
When this period has elapsed, Axis may no longer develop, maintain, or test the software in question. All Axis software, including but not limited to software delivered pre-installed on Axis hardware and where hardware is subject to RMA service, is delivered “as is”.
Axis software is not covered by Axis warranty.
