How Does the Instant Replacement Service Work?

During the Instant Replacement Service period, if your product fails, you should contact your Reseller (Contact Us). Your Reseller will coordinate the shipment of a replacement product to you within 1 business day (for US and Canada only). For customers outside the United States, your Reseller will coordinate the shipment of a replacement product via express mail within one business day after receiving the request. Upon contacting your Reseller to request a replacement product, you must return the original product. Your Reseller will coordinate the issuance of a Return Material Authorization Number for you to include with the return. A valid credit card number or purchase order will be required at the time of issuing the Return Material Authorization Number. You will not be charged for the replacement product as long as you return the original product within 30 days after shipment of the replacement product. If the original product is not received within 30 days, your credit card will be charged or the purchase order will be processed at the current list price for that product. Barracuda Networks will pay all shipping costs for the replacement product, provided you reside in the US or Canada. Alternatively, you may contact Barracuda Networks directly to coordinate the replacement and return of the original product, provided you have not already contacted your Reseller.
