1 Accessing the Netronome Support Team

1.1 Registering with Netronome

To receive support and warranty service from Netronome, i) you will need a support account; ii) you must have a paid-up Support and Maintenance plan and you must agree to the Support and

Maintenance terms and conditions. You can request a support account by sending an email to [email protected] containing the following information:

 Company name

 Names of those requesting access and their associated email addresses

 Serial number(s) of hardware purchased

A user ID and password will be created and sent to you at the specified email address.

If your support account already exists, you will need to register new purchases via the support site. You will need the serial number of the Intelligent Server Adapter(s) (ISA) you purchased in order to complete your registration. The serial number is printed on the packaging or printed on a sticker affixed to the adapter. If Netronome Agilio software has been installed on an adapter, the serial number can also be retrieved via CLI by typing this command:

/opt/netronome/bin/nfp -hwinfo

You have 90 days from the date of shipment from Netronome in which to self-register, and your

warranty period will begin on the date of registration. If you register after 90 days from the ship date of your product, the start date of your warranty period will be the ship date.

2 Netronome Product Warranty

2.1

Hardware Warranty

One year of hardware warranty is granted to the customer upon purchase of any Netronome ISA sold pursuant to a Support and Maintenance plan (a “Covered Product”). Pursuant to the plan, Netronome will guarantee that the hardware portion of the Covered Product will be free of any malfunction, error or other defect that: (i) can be reproduced by Netronome; and (ii) constitutes a substantial

nonconformity with Netronome’s published specifications for that Covered Product.

In the event of a product malfunction, a trouble ticket must be opened on the Netronome support site, (https://support.netronome.com). Netronome’s customer support team will assist you remotely to identify and troubleshoot the failure. If the failure cannot be fixed remotely, a Return materials Authorization (“RMA”) will be issued. You will be instructed to return the hardware in question, freight prepaid and with the RMA number displayed on the outside of the carton, to the place where it was purchased (e.g. a reseller or Netronome). Once Netronome receives the product, Netronome shall replace or repair the Product, at its option, within forty-five (45) days. Netronome will not repair or replace any product if the malfunction, error or defect was caused by malfunction of non-Netronome hardware or software, by modification of the product not made or previously authorized in writing by Netronome, by operator error, or by use of the product not in accordance with the operating

instructions for the product. Netronome shall pay the shipping charges back to customer for properly rejected hardware; otherwise, customer shall pay the return shipping charges.

2.2 Software Support

Customers are entitled to software updates, upgrades and bug fixes for Covered Products. Users will be notified via email when new software updates and upgrades are made available on the support site.

Users are encouraged to install new updates and upgrades promptly. Netronome will only support its then current version of software and the immediate prior revision. Older releases may not qualify for support, even if a paid-up Support and Maintenance plan is in place.

2.3 Extended support

You can purchase additional Support and Maintenance plans for extended support of Netronome Intelligent Server Adapters that will allow you to continue to get software updates and hardware protection. Additional Support and Maintenance can be purchased in one (1) year increments and is available from Netronome or where you purchased your products. If customer does not continuously

6 maintain a paid-up Support and Maintenance plan, customer shall pay the applicable Support and Maintenance fees not previously paid for all prior Support and Maintenance plan periods before

resuming the Support and Maintenance Plan. For example, if your warranty period started on January 1, 2015 and you let it lapse until April 2016, you can purchase 1 year of extended support that starts on Jan 1, 2016 and provides coverage until Jan 1, 2017. Additional years may also be purchased.

2.4 Unsupported Products

Products that are not covered under warranty may be repaired at Netronome’s discretion on a time and materials basis.

Products that are out of warranty are not generally eligible for software bug fixes, updates, patches and upgrades. Exceptions may be made at Netronome’s discretion.
