Hasselblad Customer Care.
The Hasselblad H1 and H2 cameras helped redefine top-end photography. But as the proud owner of one of these camera systems, you already know all that.
The H System story doesn't stop there, however. We at Hasselblad continue to develop new products, continue to push the technological envelope, and continue to produce the best cameras in the world. Now, with the release of the H3DII, the H3DII-39MS, and the H2F - and the discontinuation of production of certain older H System models - we are taking the H System even further. All well and good, you say, but where does that leave you? Naturally, we will continue to support older H System products, and continue to produce new lenses and accessories even as we release new products.
But here comes the really good part.
At Hasselblad, we feel strongly that being a cutting edge photographer, an early adopter, or just having the boldness to follow the latest in photographic advances, should never have to mean being left behind at some later date. That's why we're launching the Hasselblad H System Customer Care Program.
This program that will provide a foundation for upgrades, trade-ins, and refurbishment/replacement options to ensure that your Hasselblad investment retains its value for many years to come.
The first stage of this program is being targeted directly towards H1 and H2 owners and includes extended service/replacement options, an attractive trade-up offer, and special Hasselblad "obsolescence insurance" in the form of a fixed rate refurbishment plan. We will begin by offering this program to all H1 and H2 users and will expand the program in the near future to include all Hasselblad digital products as well as V System cameras.
Under the extended service option, in addition to standard Hasselblad service policies, you are guaranteed service and spare parts for all H1 and H2 products for a minimum of 10 years from the date of purchase. It also includes a product renewal/replacement guarantee for 5 years from time of purchase covering catastrophic situations where your camera is lost, stolen or damaged beyond repair.
The Trade-up Program allows all existing H1 and H2 camera owners to trade up to one of a variety of the most recent model configurations for a special price.
Please note that the Trade-up Program also includes very favorable trade-up options for owners of H1 and H2 cameras and third party digital backs.
The refurbishment program provides a factory check of the camera body consisting of maintenance and cleaning as well as repair or replacement of any components that require attention. All electronics will be replaced or upgraded to the most recent H2 standards and this service includes a 12 month full product warranty from date of refurbishment. After registering your camera body at www.hasselblad.com/hcare, you will receive a voucher giving you a one-time-only option to have your camera body refurbished for only $1,349 at any time through December 31, 2011.
By registering before February 29th, 2008 you will receive a voucher that entitles you to sign up for any and all of these programs. And registration is free for all H1 and H2 owners!
NOTE!
You are under no obligation to register. Registration simply gives you the opportunity to receive a "fixed price" refurbishment of your camera at any time between now and December 31, 2011, qualifies you for the lost/stolen/irreparably damaged replacement guarantee, and gives you access to the trade up program. It is up to you whether you actually wish to utilize any of these options. We hope you will think of the refurbishment coupon you will receive upon registering as an "insurance policy" that entitles you to a fixed price H1 or H2 camera refurbishment at any point during the covered period.
So, log on to www.hasselbladusa.com/hcare to register and keep your photographic edge with the latest Hasselblad gear.
