Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source or Brand Name

Third-party service providers are authorized by us to conduct maintenance or repairs on Stratasys 450 and 900 series printers if they are certified trained Stratasys technicians. Unauthorized servicing by third parties may result in improper maintenance, potential warranty voidance, and compromised printer performance. To ensure optimal functionality and longevity of your equipment, we strongly advise contacting Stratasys Inc. directly for all service-related needs.

Purchasing a maintenance package that is not certified as compatible by Stratasys voids equipment warranty and terminates any post warranty support and maintenance contracts.
