HPE Networking
“In For the Element” Competitive Trade-In Program

Trade In Program Overview

For a limited time, customers who purchase new HPE Networking CX and EX Switches or HPE Juniper Networking EX Switches to replace select competitor switches are eligible to participate.

Customers can receive up to a $1,500 USD rebate per eligible Switch (1:1 trade-in).

Customers will have the option to either self-decommission their legacy Switches or use our HPE Recycling program to recycle their hardware in a secure, globally consistent, and environmentally responsible manner.

 

Note:

1. For Public Sector customers using the trade-in program, additional requirements may exist to self-decommission or recycle through a partner. Please see the program’s Terms & Conditions for more details.
2. Rebates are paid in US Dollars/as equivalent in local currency.

How does the Trade In program work?

• Before purchase, the reseller creates an initial quote and submits the application for participation on behalf of the end-user customer.
  • Please see here the list of eligible HPE Products.
  • Specify new HPE products offered for purchase and specify the corresponding trade-in (used) products for return to get a non-binding offer displayed.
  • Provide Deal- / Offer-ID, seller address, customer address, device name, serial number, by submitting to the HPE trade-in webpage for approval.
  • HPE confirms eligibility and final trade-in allowance with the approval of the application.
  • Please note, Trade In program registrations require an approved quote number to be included, submissions without an approved quote will be rejected. Customer discounting levels may exclude the ability to include Trade In rebates. Any discount modifications will rescind the initial approval and require resubmission and approval review.
• After deal closure and delivery of the new HPE products, approved applications can be converted to a claim to request collection of trade in products and payment of the refund amount.
  • For claim validation you will be asked to upload the end-customer invoice and provision of a few product details of your existing hardware (serial numbers, product numbers, invoice number).
  • To plan collection, the return product information (dimensions and weights) must be provided.
  • Pickup address, and if applicable, special instructions for the collection.
  • In case the seller receiving the payment a Transfer of Ownership document with end-customer signature must be uploaded.
  • Read and accept the Terms & Conditions and submit the claim.
• After claim validation HPE will inform you on the collection arrangements and align the schedules with you. All devices need to be returned within 180 days of application approval.
• After receipt of the return products in the processing center HPE will issue the refund payment with the selected payment method (bank transfer).
  Note: Public sector customers will receive credit rebates through their resellers (at the discretion of the reseller / agreed upon terms).
