xProtect Service Plan

MobileDemand tablets include a 1-3 year Limited Manufacturer’s Warranty included in the price of the product. Nonetheless, accidents happen, and tough environments can take a toll on even the most rugged tablets, thus, MobileDemand has created the enhanced xProtect Service Plan designed to replace the standard warranty from point of purchase and ensure business continuation technology investment protection.

Our xProtect coverage protects your tablets from accidental damage, product defects, wear and tear, failures and any other damage that occurs when the tablet is used for what it was designed for in your real-world work environment.

xProtect Coverage

The xProtect Service Plan is available for all MobileDemand xTablet models and cradles, sold separately. Tablet components, except for consumable items, are covered under the xProtect Plan - see exclusions for list of consumable items.

1-2 years for the Flex 10B and Flex 12B
3-years for xTablets

We offer a separate xProtect service plan for cradles (this service plan does not include the wiring).

xProtect coverage includes:

Protection for accidental damage, product defects, wear and tear and failures.
Three business day turnaround versus the standard ten day turnaround on standard warranty repairs – does not include transit time.
Telephone technical support.

If a tablet is deemed unrepairable by MobileDemand, it may be replaced. The total number of units replaced cannot exceed 4% of customer install base, for both tablets and cradles, on a rolling calendar year. There is a minimum replacement coverage of one unit for any install base less than 25 units. If customer has met 4% install base maximum for replacement, then it is the customer’s choice to pay for a replacement or have the unit returned as is. The total number of units that have a major repair cannot exceed 10% of customer install base, for both tablets and cradles, on a rolling calendar year. Major repair means complete overhaul or replacement of one or more component parts that is essential to the operation of a tablet or cradle including but not limited to the motherboard, LCD, and touch panel. If customer has met the 10% install base maximum for major repairs, then it is the customer’s choice to pay for the repair or have the unit returned as is. This coverage is in addition to the coverage provided by the manufacturer’s warranty.

Install base is defined as only those items which have xProtect coverage.
