End of Life Cycle Policy

BLUSAFE is continually innovating and updating product ranges. As a result of this continuous innovation, products which have been in the market for some time may be updated or completely superceded with new products or variants of the same. We may discontinue the sale of certain products when they reach the end of their market life cycle.

To this end, BLUSAFE has built into its new product development process that any new features and solutions planned by our designers must consider the effect on the life cycle of those products, features or solutions.

BLUSAFE will also give consideration to the various elements that make upparticular products, features and solutions, since their individual lifecycles may not be fully aligned. E.g., software apps are more likely tohave a shorter anticipated life cycle than the hardware they serve.

To assist our customers and end users of our products in the transition to the next generation versions or upgrades, BLUSAFE operates an ‘End of Life Cycle’ Policy as written in the guidelines below.
