Proof of Purchase
Panasonic FAX ADVANTAGE PROGRAM
The Panasonic Fax Advantage Consumer Service Program.
Panasonic knows that if your fax machine is not up and running, neither is
your business. That’s why we created the Panasonic Fax Advantage
Program. Included at no extra cost with the purchase of a new and
unused Panasonic Fax Machine, the Fax Advantage Program can provide
a free replacement unit
3
overnight if your original unit is in need of repair.
Here’s how it works:
1. If you have a problem with your fax that you purchased new and
unused while it is covered by the period of limited warranty
1
, call our
toll-free help-line at 1-800-HELP-FAX
2
.
2. Talk to one of our technical experts to diagnose your problem over
the phone.
3. If repairs are necessary and you are entitled to service under the
terms and conditions of the limited warranty
4
, we will send a
refurbished replacement unit to you by UPS overnight service
delivery.
A second option available under our limited warranty is to mail-in or
carry-in your fax to one of our Regional Service centers, where the unit
will be repaired and returned to you.
Instructions:
If you choose to receive a replacement unit under the Fax Advantage
Program, Panasonic will provide a replacement unit which will be
completely refurbished, quality-tested by Panasonic technicians and
individually hand-inspected before it is shipped to you. You will keep the
replacement unit and send the original unit to us in the replacement
unit’s box. UPS will pick up the unit at no charge to you, should it be
determined that you are entitled to warranty service. A proof-of-purchase
must be included with the returned product. Any unit that is replaced by
Panasonic and not shipped with proper proof-of-purchase by you will be
subject to a minimum $100.00 charge. The original unit must be
properly packaged in the same manner as the replacement unit, utilizing
the packing materials provided. Damage due to improper or
inadequate packing will be charged to you as an out-of-warranty cost.
If our 1-800-HELP-FAX technicians determine that your unit may be an
“out-of-box failure”
5
, we will attempt to provide you with a factory-new
replacement unit
6
. You must ship a copy of your receipt with your
original unit to verify that you purchased the unit within 10 days prior to
your 1-800-HELP-FAX call.
Requirements:
You must give our technicians a valid credit card number (Discover,
VISA, Master Card, or American Express/Optima). Product that is not
returned to Panasonic by 10 business days after shipment of the
replacement product will be charged to your credit card account at
Panasonic’s Suggested Retail Price (see dealer for details). If your
original unit is not eligible for warranty service, your card will be
charged for the non-warranty repair of the unit at Panasonic’s current
rate for parts and labor and for any shipping charges associated with
this program. If you do not wish to pay out-of-warranty repair costs,
you will be responsible for returning the replacement unit to Panasonic
and for paying all shipping charges associated with this program
including the overnight delivery of the replacement product to you,
shipment of the problem unit to Panasonic, shipment of the
replacement unit back to Panasonic and the return of your original
unit back to you. Credit status will be verified prior to sending the
replacement product.

3. Replacement unit is refurbished.
4. Replacement program is only available in the 50 United States and is subject to
termination at any time without advance notice.
5. “Out-of-box failure” is an inoperable unit that was purchased no more than 10 days
prior to your 1-800-HELP-FAX call, and would otherwise qualify for warranty service
under the terms and conditions of the limited warranty.
