Files first: as an online product, the Cisco Storage Networking Design Specialist material is obtainable immediately after ordering — an automatic email lands in your mailbox within a minute, with unlimited installations and 24/7 help if nothing shows up within 2 hours. Failure is covered too: take the corresponding 642-353 exam within 60 days of purchase, and if you don't pass, submit a scanned enrollment slip plus the official Score Report PDF within 2 days of the exam for a full refund processed within 7 days. Exclusions apply — exams within 3 days of purchase, candidate names that don't match the payer, and free or expired products. A free exchange for two equal-value products is the alternative.
