Warranty for RED products
Sophos RED devices are supplied with a manufacturer’s limited Warranty (Standard Warranty) of one year. This is independent of any relevant statutory warranty claims against the Sophos Partner from which the end-user purchased the device and is independent of all other statutory and contractual claims of the end-user which shall remain unaffected. The manufacturer’s limited warranty period starts at the moment of sale by the Sophos Partner to the end-user or at the latest three months after initial delivery of the device by Sophos. Within the warranty period, the end-user is entitled to claim the 72h bring in hardware replacement service as described above for RED devices that have material, constructional or manufacturing defects. The standard warranty period can be extended by purchasing a 2-year warranty extension. Defective devices covered by the extended warranty will, during the total manufacturer’s warranty period (i.e. including the original warranty period), be replaced by Sophos using the 24h up-front replacement service. For further details please visit the RED Terms of Warranty document.
Support Services for Sophos Access Points
Technical Support, Software Updates and Hardware Replacement for Sophos Access Points will be provided according to the support contract of the Sophos UTM appliance to which the Access Point is connected to. UTM Standard Support will be provided for all connected Access Points during the period of an active Wireless Protection Subscription.

General Hardware Replacement rules for Sophos UTM hardware products
A replacement unit will either be a new or reconditioned unit of equivalent or higher value. The customer is only eligible to receive replacement hardware, if the unit has a valid manufacturer warranty (RED products) or support services contract. Before shipping any defective unit to Sophos, the customer should first contact Sophos support in order to get a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number. Statutory warranty claims against the Sophos Partner remain unaffected. Please Note: If Sophos does not receive the defective unit back within 14 days of the reported failure, the customer will be invoiced for the cost of the unit according to the then current price list. Sophos also reserves the right to charge for any missing accompanying materials.
