• Defective Product Returns. Defective Products returned by Customer must include a valid RMA and, if applicable, a copy of the completed warranty card.

Seller is responsible for the cost of shipping returned Products that are deemed defective. Seller is responsible for the cost of shipping replacements or exchanges of returned Products and will match Customer’s original shipping method.

• Customer Shipping Insurance. Customer is strongly advised to purchase full insurance to cover loss and damage in transit for shipments of returned Products and to use a carrier and shipping method that provide proof of delivery. Seller is not responsible for loss during such shipment.

3. Merchandise Damaged in Transit.

• Refusal/Receipt of Damaged Products. If a package containing Products purchased from Seller arrives at Customer’s address DAMAGED, Customer should REFUSE to accept delivery from the carrier.

If Customer does not so note the damage and save the received merchandise and does not so notify Seller within fifteen (15) days of delivery acceptance, Customer will be deemed to have accepted the merchandise as if it had arrived undamaged, and Seller’s regular return policy, as described in sections 1 and 2 above, and all current manufacturer warranties and restrictions will apply.

4. Credits.

• Any credit issued by Seller to Customer under this return policy must be used within two (2) years from the date that the credit was issued and may only be used for future purchases of Product and/or Services. Any credit or portion thereof not used within the two (2) year period will automatically expire.
