The Fuse 1 and Fuse Sift Service Plans (the “Service Plan”) is governed by the following agreement (the “Agreement”) between Formlabs Inc. (“we,” “us,” or “Formlabs”) and you (“Customer” or “you”). The Service Plan provides coverage to Fuse 1 printers or Fuse Sift accessories (the “Products”).

The goal of this Service Plan is to help you use your Product most effectively and minimize any downtime you might have using the products you purchase from us. The Service Plan provides you with additional services beyond the limited warranty that Formlabs provides for its products. The Service Plan does not extend, replace, or change the terms and conditions of Formlabs’ limited warranty that accompanies the Product.

The Service Plan is only offered for specific identified Product(s) listed in your final quote from Formlabs (“Quote”) that are either new, unused, untampered, or within 30 days of being shipped directly from the manufacturer or a certified Reseller, or manufacturer certified (“Covered Product(s)”) and begins either when the Service Plan is purchased or when we ship the Covered Product to you, whichever is later (“Coverage Start Date”).  Customer will be billed at Formlabs’ then-applicable standard rates for time and materials, and for reasonable travel and living expenses, in order to certify used Products.  The Service Plan continues for the period noted in the Quote, unless otherwise renewed, extended, terminated, or cancelled pursuant to this Agreement. Customers and Products must be located within our shipping zones, as listed at formlabs.com/support/shipping/, to maintain Coverage unless otherwise expressly agreed to in writing. Customers or Products located outside of the United States and Canada (“International Service Plan Participants”) may be eligible for the Service Plan under the terms set forth in this Agreement, including those in the “International Coverage” Section below. 

Each Service Plan covers a specific Covered Product or Products and may not be transferred to other Products or  Customers. The Service Plan may not be resold and is non-transferable and non-refundable, other than as may be provided for herein or in connection with Formlabs-approved substitution or equipment replacement.

From time to time, and at its sole discretion without Customer consent, Formlabs may designate a third party, who is not a Formlabs employee or company representative, to fulfill its obligations under this Service Plan in whole or in part. 

Customers under the Service Plan have access to the Formlabs Certified SLS Technicians and Service Team (the “Service Team”) during the Coverage Period. The Service Team will provide the Services included in your Service Plan as set forth below, depending on the tier of the plan (“Standard” or “Premium”) identified in the Quote:

Description of Services:

1. Training. A member of the Service Team will conduct an on-boarding training session. Depending on the Service Plan selected, the training session will either be in Remote Training or Customized On-Site Training. This session can be used for product set-up, orientation, training, Q&A, and print support.  Training is subject to additional terms in this Agreement, including Training and Recording. 

2. Extended Product Coverage. Formlabs Extended Product Coverage includes the following:

   1. Worry-Free Coverage. Subject to additional limitations in this Agreement, the Service Plan includes coverage of repair costs including component or system replacements due to normal wear and tear during the term. 

   2. User-Replaceable Parts. In some cases for repair or maintenance, Formlabs will provide a User-Replaceable Part by sending you a new or reconditioned customer-installable replacement part to enable you to service your Fuse 1 or Fuse Sift. When providing User-Replaceable Parts requiring the return of the original part, Formlabs may require a credit card authorization as security for the retail price of the replacement  part and applicable shipping costs. If you follow instructions and return the original part, Formlabs will cancel the credit card authorization, and you will not be charged for the User-Replaceable Part and shipping costs. If the original Product is not returned within fourteen (14) business days, Formlabs will charge the credit card for the full authorized amount.

3. Direct Phone and Email Support. The Service Team will provide, email, or phone support to help resolve issues. Services may be provided by Formlabs or by a designated service center which may change from time.  Under the Service Plan, Formlabs will make reasonable commercial efforts to provide a response to requests for support made by you within one (1) business day. Business hours are generally standard hours in your locality, excluding weekends and locally recognized holidays. 

4. Annual Preventative Checkup. All active Service Plans will include one annual on-site maintenance visit to perform routine maintenance by a Service Team Member.  Annual Preventative Checkup may, at Formlabs’ discretion, overlap with an On-Site Service Visit.

5. On-Site Service Visit. From time to time Products may require on-site repair or maintenance services. The need and nature of such Services are determined by Formlabs in their sole discretion and may be limited to a reasonable number of On-Site Service Events per term. On-Site Service Visits includes up to one (1) full business day of repair or maintenance services. Formlabs reserves the right to charge for any On-Site Service Visit requested for the repair/replacement of a User-Replaceable Part. On-Site Repair or Maintenance Services are subject to additional terms in this Agreement. 

6. Maintenance Documentation. The Service Team is able to provide detailed troubleshooting documentation for advanced Fuse 1 or Fuse Sift maintenance, diagnosis, and repair procedures as available.

If Customer has purchased a Service Plan that includes On-Site Service Visits, then, upon Customer’s reasonable request in writing, Formlabs will use its commercially reasonable efforts promptly to dispatch a member or members of the Service Team to the Customer’s location during normal business hours. If Customer requires On-Site Service but has not purchased a Service Plan that includes On-Site Service, then, upon Customer’s request and subject to payment of Formlabs standard fees, Formlabs will use commercially reasonable efforts to dispatch a member or members of the Service Team to the Customer’s location within a timeframe to be determined by Formlabs based upon the availability of resources. In such cases, Customer will be billed at Formlabs’ then-applicable standard rates for time and materials, and for reasonable travel and living expenses, unless the on-site visit is included in the Annual Preventative Checkup. In either case, provision of on-site support is subject to the following:

1. Customer acknowledges that Formlabs, at its sole discretion, intends to subcontract to affiliates or third parties for the performance of On-Site Repair or Maintenance Services, in which case such subcontractor shall be directly and primarily liable to Customer for performance of such subcontracted services. 

2. Customer must maintain the Covered Products in a safe, clean, ventilated room, and the temperature and humidity shall be maintained within the Covered Product’s specifications for operating ranges.

3. Customer must provide the Service Team with a primary person of contact at the site of the repair or service who is capable and will assist with all reasonable requests related to the repair or service of the Covered Products. The primary person of contact will make all reasonable efforts to support and cooperate with Formlabs or the Service Team in resolving the problem remotely, for example, starting and executing self-tests or diagnostic programs, providing all necessary information, or performing basic remedial activities upon Formlabs’ request.

4. Customer must promptly advise Formlabs and the Service Team of any significant Product malfunction, regardless of the cause.

5. Formlabs may limit On-Site Repair or Maintenance Services to Covered Products.

6. Formlabs may limit the amount of On-Site Repair or Maintenance Services to a reasonable number of On-Site Service Events per Term.

7. Formlabs reserves the right to charge for any On-Site Repair or Maintenance visit requested for the repair/replacement of a User-Replaceable Part.

8. On-Site Repair or Maintenance Services attributable to unauthorized attempts by Customer to repair or maintain the Covered Product, fault or negligence of Customer, improper use or misuse of the Covered Product by Customer, causes external to the Covered Product (such as, but not limited to, power failure, improper location and environs as specified in the product manual, abnormal power fluctuations, accident, casualty or neglect) or other performance-affecting events not caused by Formlabs which are outside Formlabs’ standard maintenance responsibilities, will be chargeable at then-applicable standard rates for time and materials.

9. Customers located in Hawaii, Alaska, or in Canada and more than 200 miles outside of Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, or Quebec City may be required to cover the costs of travel and living expenses for Service Team members performing On-Site Service visits or Annual Preventative Checkups.

Other than as expressly stated below, the Service Plan includes coverage of repair costs including component or system replacements due to normal wear and tear during the term.

The Service Plan does not cover damage as a result of failure to follow packaging instructions, use in violation of the Formlabs limited Warranty including modifications that affect our ability to repair,  or abuse of the equipment. The Service Plan does not cover the build chamber for the Fuse 1 and Fuse Sift.  In the event the repair costs are not covered you shall be responsible for the reasonable costs, including shipping or travel for on-site repairs, to make any out-of-Service Plan repairs to the returned Product, but in no event more than the full retail price of the Product. Service under this Agreement shall be suspended until any such charges are paid in full.  The Customer shall pay all balances due within 30 days of the invoice, unless otherwise specified. All payments for the Service Plan are due at the beginning of the Term. Time for payment is of the essence for the contract. All payments are non-refundable. Customer may not set off any amounts due. 

Any replacement Product provided by Formlabs under the Service Plan shall be covered by the Service Plan for the remaining Coverage Period of the original Product.

Unless otherwise expressly agreed to in writing, this Service Plan is not available to Customers and Products outside of our shipping zones as listed at formlabs.com/support/shipping/.

Formlabs, at its sole discretion, may terminate this Agreement and refuse to provide further services under the Service Plan for failure to maintain eligibility for the Service Plan as well as for abusive, inappropriate, or unreasonable behavior; failure to comply with Formlabs’ published policies and procedures; failure to pay outstanding charges due under this Agreement; or breach of any of the terms in the Service Plan or another agreement between Customer and Formlabs. In the event that Formlabs terminates your participation in the Service Plan, Formlabs may provide you with a prorated refund at its sole discretion.
