Print/Copy Mail Services Vice President FAReminder: Warranties represent substantial value to the University. This is especially true of many electronic products, such as, computers, fax machines, copiers, printers, software, etc. If the particular machine is a "lemon" or you have problems during the warranty period, you want to be sure that you have recourse.
Please note, many products listed above do NOT allow warranty transfer from owner to owner. When an individual purchases these items via a personal credit card or check,the warranty goes to the individual. When the department buys the item from the individual via reimbursement, ownership transfers to the University of Oregon. Often the warranty does NOT transfer. This is a tremendous loss.
We recommend that you do not allow an individual to purchase these kinds of products intending to reimburse them. We recommend that you use a Purchase Order or use your department "procurement card", ensuring that the warranty stays with the University.
This enhances our chances for recourse if the equipment fails.
If your department does not have a "procurement card" and you wish a departmental application, you may view information about the procurement card program at our Web site and download an application request.
