  us, before your card is returned to us, note the name of the support technician and 

pay attention to the following points: 

Fill out the service card that comes with your product, completely and explicitly. The more 
detailed you describe the problem, the quicker it can be handled. Contributions without a 
description of the problem cannot be forwarded and will be returned at your expense.

there is no copy included, we assume that the guarantee time has run out and will repair 
the card at your expense. 

Please use a safe and appropriately protective package. Goods damaged in transit cannot 
be repaired by us under warranty. Experience has shown, that the original package serves 
best for this purpose. Remember that your card is a fragile and sensitive electronic part.
