TRIOS Warranty Conditions
Overview
This article provides an overview of warranty coverage for TRIOS scanners, TRIOS Care, and selected accessories and consumables.
Warranty coverage depends on the product, configuration, and applicable warranty terms. The sections below explain the relevant coverage and warranty conditions for each product category.

TRIOS Care
Every newly purchased TRIOS scanner includes 1 year of TRIOS Care from the scanner purchase date. This includes warranty benefits such as accidental-damage coverage and express replacement, subject to the applicable terms and conditions.
After the first year, customers can choose to continue with a paid TRIOS Care subscription or switch to another available subscription plan. Warranty coverage and benefits depend on the selected plan and its applicable terms and conditions.
The total TRIOS Care coverage period cannot exceed 5 years from the original scanner purchase date, including the first year. Activating or renewing TRIOS Care does not restart the 5-year period.
