Formlabs Pro Service Plan, Dental Service Plan, and Medical Service Plan Terms of Service

Last updated May 7, 2020

Thank you for purchasing the Formlabs Pro Service Plan (“PSP”), the Formlabs Dental Service Plan (“DSP”), or the Formlabs Medical Service Plan (“MSP”) (collectively the “Plan” or “Plans”) for your Formlabs Form 2, Form 3, Form 3L, Form 3B, or Form 3BL (the “Product”). The Plans are governed by the following agreement (the “Agreement”) between Formlabs Inc. (“Formlabs”) and you (“Customer” or “you”). Dental Service Plan and Medical Service Plan are  specific versions of our Professional Service Plan available for an additional fee and include all the features specified for PSP as well as the features listed below.

Scope

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

Eligibility and Coverage Period

At its sole discretion, Formlabs may choose to offer, extend, or renew the Plan from time-to-time and on a case-by-case basis. The Plan is offered for a specific identified Product and begins either when the Plan is purchased or when the Product is shipped by Formlabs to you, whichever is later (“Coverage Start Date”). The Plan continues for one or two years from the Coverage Start Date, depending on the Plan purchased, unless otherwise renewed or extended (the “Coverage Period”). Customers or Products located outside of the United States and Canada (“International Plan Participants”) may be eligible for the Plan under the terms set forth in this Agreement, including those in the “International Coverage” Section below.

Transferability

Except for Replacement Products, as discussed below, each Plan covers a specific Product and may not be transferred to another Product or to another Customer. The Plan may not be resold and is non-transferable and non-refundable, unless the Product is returned in accordance with Formlabs Return Policy, in which case the cost of the Plan is also refundable.

Priority Customer Service

Customers under the Plan will receive priority access to Formlabs Customer Support (“Support”) during the Coverage Period. Customers purchasing DSP or MSP will have exclusive access to our Dental or Medical Expert Support team to provide targeted, solution-oriented support. Under the Plan, Formlabs will make reasonable commercial efforts to provide a response to requests for support made by you within five business hours. Business hours are 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM Eastern Time, excluding weekends and U.S. Federal holidays. Support requests under the Plan must be made as directed at https://support.formlabs.com/s/contact-support?language=en_US using your registered email.

Customer Service by Phone
Hotline Support

Customers under the Plan may contact Support via telephone with support requests (“Hotline Support”) during Formlabs Customer Support’s operating hours. RECORDED LINE telephone numbers, operating hours, and directions may be found at formlabs.com/services/psp/ which may be amended from time-to-time without prior notice. Formlabs is not responsible for any international or long distance fees or service charges you may incur by using Hotline Support. Hotline Support may be limited to calls of reasonable length and frequency. Where possible, Customers under DSP will be routed to our Dental Expert Support team and Customers under MSP will be routed to our Medical Expert Support team.

Video Conference Appointments

In addition to telephone calls to Customer Support, Customers under the Plan may contact Support to schedule one thirty minute video conference appointment during operating hours and subject to availability, to receive support (“Video Conference Appointment”). Customers purchasing DSP and MSP are entitled to a Video Conference Appointment up to ninety minutes OR DSP and MSP Customers may elect to attend an In-Person Training Seminar at our office in Somerville, Massachusetts.

Video Conference Appointment requests should be made as directed at formlabs.com/services/psp/ or for DSP Customers at dental.formlabs.com/services/training, which may be amended from time-to-time without prior notice. Customers who purchase the MSP will automatically receive an email containing a link to sign up for a Video Conference Appointment. Formlabs will initiate Video Conference Appointments by placing a video conference call using  a video conference system.

In-Person Training Seminars are limited to one attendee per DSP Customer and will be conducted in groups of up to ten DSP Customers. Seminars with fewer than four participants will be rescheduled. To schedule your In-Person Training Seminar visit dental.formlabs.com/services/training/. Customers are responsible for all travel, lodging, and expenses related to Seminar attendance.

In-Person Training Seminars can be purchased separately and will be conducted in groups of up to ten MSP Customers. Seminars with fewer than four participants will be rescheduled. To schedule your In-Person Training Seminar speak to your sales representative for purchasing options. Customers are responsible for all travel, lodging, and expenses related to seminar attendance.

Video Conference Appointments and In-Person Training Seminars may be subject to change based on availability and may be limited to a reasonable length.

Dental Support Plan and Medical Support Plan Include Proactive Support

With the purchase of DSP or MSP, if you choose to opt-in to network monitoring  or other suitable printer remote reporting to Formlabs, the Dental or Medical Expert Support Team will proactively review remote diagnostic information every six months for covered Products and proactively provide service for any issues discovered. If you choose not to opt-in, our Dental or Medical Expert Support team will reach out every six months to check-in.

Expedited Printer Replacement (“Hot Swap”) Service

Replacement

If Support determines that repair may be needed for your Product, and that mail-in service is appropriate, Formlabs will make reasonable commercial efforts to dispatch a new or refurbished replacement Product (“Replacement Product”) with the same or improved specification as your original Product. Formlabs will dispatch the Replacement Product by standard courier. For Customers who purchased DSP or MSP, Replacement Products will be dispatched by express courier. Formlabs will make reasonable commercial efforts to ensure that such replacements are dispatched as soon as possible.

Returns

If a Replacement Product is provided, upon receipt of the Replacement Product, you must return the original Product to Formlabs with a Formlabs-issued Return Merchandise Authorization Number clearly visible on the outside of the package. The original Product must be properly packaged for shipment as instructed by Formlabs using the same packaging as the Replacement Product arrived in or in the Product’s original packaging.

Costs

If the returned Product requires repairs not covered under the limited warranty, has been damaged as a result of failure to follow packaging instructions, or if the Product is no longer within the limited warranty period, and if any applicable statutory warranty rights are no longer in effect, you shall be responsible for the reasonable costs, including shipping, to make any out-of-warranty 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. If the original Product is not returned within seven business days, Formlabs will charge you the full retail price of the Product.

Coverage of Replacement Products
