2 Lost or stolen Merging Security Keys
(Sentinel / HASP USB Dongles)
The Merging USB Key carries all the value of your Merging software and the software license authorization to use it. Please ensure you
do not lose the USB key as Merging Technologies cannot be held responsible if this is lost or stolen.
If your USB key is stolen or lost then please make a claim on your insurance in the usual way just as you would for any other item you
own. Merging will be happy to conrm the details and value of the software license and USB key to your insurance company. If your USB
key is lost or stolen and a different user should attempt to register for this key, Merging will notify you and the authorities in your country
that an attempt has been made to register this stolen item.
If your USB key should become defective or is broken, please ensure this key is returned to Merging after requesting an RMA (Return
Merchandise Authorization). Only after the receipt of this key in the Merging ofces will it be determined if it may be exchanged under
warranty free-of-charge, or if the damage is out of the warranty scope, in which case only a modest fee to replace it with a new key will be
charged (and not the entire value of the software).
