ServicePolicy

If a customer discovers a defect in a DiamondMax® Plus 40 drive, Maxtor will, at its option, repair or replace the disk drive at no charge to the customer, provided it is returned during the warranty period. Drives must be properly packaged in Maxtor packaging or Maxtor-approved packaging to obtain warranty service. Any unauthorized repairs or adjustments to the drive void the warranty.

To consistently provide our customers with the best possible products and services, Maxtor developed the Total Customer Satisfaction (TCS) program. Through the ongoing TCS process, Maxtor employees take direct responsibility for every customer’s level of satisfaction – with Maxtor technology, price, quality, delivery, service and support.

NoQuibble® Service

Another TCS feature is Maxtor’s No Quibble® Service policy. By minimizing paperwork and processing, No Quibble Service dramatically cuts the turnaround time normally required for repairs and returns. Here’s how it works:

1.Customer calls 1-800-2MAXTOR for a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number and provides a credit card number,

2.Maxtor ships a replacement drive within 2 business days, and

3.Customer returns the original drive and credit card draft is destroyed.
