2.4 Software Upgrade Authorization
To ensure stable operation of equipment purchased by customers, xFusion provides software rectification patches for customers who can download on their own.

Those software patches are rectified and verified in actual application environment or simulation experiment network, helping eradicate potential operation risks for original authorization software.
Notice

2.5 Spare Parts Return Repair Service
Hardware return repair service aims to meet your requirements on spare parts turnover and to provide return repair or replacement service for you within a fixed period.
After your application for spare parts service passes, you can return the faulty product to xFusion' designated acceptation site and you need to pay the logistic fee of returning the faulty product to xFusion which will return the repaired product or replacement part to you within the period required by SLA after receiving the faulty product.
The replacement part might be new part or good part with same category and functions (if sales of this model product is discontinued and inventory spare parts are run out, xFusion will provide your equipment or boards with other models and performance no less than that of original parts for replacement). Replacement parts provided by xFusion to you are owned by you and the faulty parts will belong to xFusion. If you cannot return faulty parts due to data security or confidentiality, you should purchase faulty parts retention service in advance.
For products/components replaced by xFusion, the maintenance service lasts for 90 days from the day when repair and delivery are completed or the day of equipment replacement or the originally left maintenance service will be retained. Between the two choices, select one with longer days.
Conforming to SLA stipulated in the agreement, xFusion provides hardware return repair service. For xFusion faulty parts acceptance site, call the Help Desk hotline or refer to the site issued on the website.
