Important Notes and Footnotes

Due to the fact that the AB Extended Care Plan is a service plan that covers the instrument after the period for which Thermo Fisher Scientific and/or its affiliate(s) have indicated to support the unit after Thermo Fisher Scientific and/or its affiliate(s) discontinued its manufacture and sale, acquiring the parts needed for repairs and maintenance, and sourcing them, may become unreasonably difficult during the term of the plan. In such an event, Thermo Fisher Scientific and/or its affiliate(s) may immediately terminate this service plan by a written notice to the customer and will provide customer with any refund or credit pursuant to the terms of the Thermo Fisher Scientific and/or its affiliate(s) Service Agreement Terms and Conditions. 

It is the customer’s responsibility to provide access to Thermo Fisher Scientific and/or its affiliate(s) to complete the service, planned maintenance, Installation Performance Verification, and other service calls within the plan period. Service calls not completed or planned maintenance not scheduled within a plan period will be canceled unless Thermo Fisher Scientific and/or its affiliate(s) failed to make reasonable efforts to complete the call or schedule the planned maintenance visit within the plan period. Customer is responsible for scheduling a planned maintenance visit on a date mutually agreed upon with Thermo Fisher Scientific and/or its affiliate(s).  

* Planned maintenance visits are intended to minimize the need for service calls. At the discretion of Thermo Fisher Scientific and/or its affiliate(s), Thermo Fisher Scientific and/or its affiliate(s) may make more than the number of planned maintenance visits indicated in the quotation. Customer will not be charged for any planned maintenance visits made during the plan period, except for visits requested by customer that are in addition to the number indicated in the quotation.
