IN ALL INSTANCES, CONTACT OUR CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR TECHNICAL SUPPORT OR TO INITIATE AND PROCESS ALL WARRANTY SERVICE CLAIMS, INCLUDING BOTH FACTORY WARRANTY AS WELL AS USA FACTORY WARRANTY™ SERVICE. WE WILL ASSIST YOU AS REQUIRED, AND PROVIDE ALL REQUIRED INSTRUCTIONS AND DOCUMENTATION. The cost of providing you this service is included in your purchase price, and it is our pleasure and responsibility to provide it. WARRANTY COVERAGEBRAND NEW and FACTORY REFURBISHED condition goods are covered by the original factory warranty. Many manufacturers, especially those offering mid-to-high end specialty products require warranty service (as well as technical support) to be handled by the authorized dealer you purchased from. CERTIFIED MINT™ and GENTLY USED™ condition goods are covered by the highly-rated USA FACTORY WARRANTY™, which features: THE CERTIFIED MINT™ GUARANTEE: Your satisfaction with condition of CERTIFIED MINT™ goods is guaranteed, or your money will be refunded in full, including the return shipping charges, upon receipt by us of the unsatisfactory item(s) in the same condition received and with all original packing and accessories.
THE GENTLY USED™ GUARANTEE:
In order to qualify for this level of certification, the product must be blemish-free, and perfect in appearance and function. Your satisfaction with condition of GENTLY USED™ goods is guaranteed, or your money will be refunded in full, including the return shipping charges, upon receipt by us of the unsatisfactory item(s) in the same condition received and with all original packing and accessories. DEFECTIVE EXCHANGESExcept when on-site warranty service is included, or in the instance of closeout or one-of-a-kind items, our service for BRAND NEW and CERTIFIED MINT™ goods includes the no-charge exchange of defective goods for up to thirty (30) days. We will pay (or reimburse you for) all applicable shipping charges. FULL TRANSFERABILITYThe USA FACTORY WARRANTY™ is fully transferable and continues to be valid for its full duration regardless of whether the covered product is re-sold. In the event you sell a covered product, either you or the new owner are welcome to contact us to confirm and re-register the balance of coverage and/or to purchase additional coverage. GENERAL WARRANTY TERMSThe USA FACTORY WARRANTY™ covers parts, labor and shipment back to you following repair for the same time period and under the same terms and conditions as the original factory warranty. You will be required to deliver or ship the product to the authorized repair facility we direct you to. In the event your product includes on-site service, there is no charge for service visits; however depending upon the original factory warranty terms, there may be charges for transporting your product to an authorized repair facility, if required, following the on-site diagnostics. MISSHIPMENTS, ERRORS, INCOMPLETE ORDERS OR MISSING ITEMSContact our Customer Service Department immediately if you have any issues with an incomplete order, missing items, or items received in error. We’ll resolve and correct the problem(s) promptly, with a minimum of inconvenience to you, and at our expense. In the event that you suspect that you have been shipped the wrong item, please do not refuse the shipment. Either ask the driver to hold the delivery for another day pending contacting us, or accept the delivery (then contact us immediately). Sometimes, for example, smaller items are packed in a larger carton originally used for another product. In any event, it’s often easier for us to resolve possible errors before the shipment is formally refused than afterwards. Although you are not required to do so, following this suggestion will not incur any obligation or expense to you. DAMAGED SHIPMENTS
