LaCie 14F - Manual (Page 51)

SERVICE DOA
On rare occasions, a newly purchased LaCie product may be delivered in non-working order. We are working to
avoid these issues, but unfortunately, these situations may arise from time to time. Within the 15 calendar days
of purchase, should you experience an issue with your new LaCie product, we ask you to return the product to
the place where it was originally bought. You will be required to give a proof of purchase.
ADVANCE CARE OPTION
All products with a 3-year warranty can benefit from the LaCie Advance Care Option. This option can be
purchased separately online within 30 days of the purchase date of your LaCie product and you will be asked to
provide us with your proof of purchase. The Advance Care Option does not extend the original warranty period.
Under this warranty, LaCie will swap out a product without it needing to be returned first for minimal
interruption of your workflow. LaCie will replace part of the product or all of it, depending on our screening
process. You might receive a reconditioned product in non-retail packaging. LaCie will cover all freight costs.
The product's Serial Number must be submitted on the LaCie website first. To secure the Advance Care Option,
your credit card number must be submitted as well. Should the product not be returned within 21 calendar days
of the replacement product's shipment date, you will be charged for the full value of a new comparable product.
LaCie can only provide this optional warranty in countries where there is a local LaCie office.
