CANCELLATION AND RETURN POLICY
If an order is cancelled prior to shipment, the prepayment may not be fully refunded. Please note that we consider your product to have been "shipped" when a bill of lading and a tracking number have been generated for a carrier. After products are deemed shipped, cancellations are treated as returns as described below.
All returns require a return merchandise authorization from our Customer Service Department. Please email us to obtain a return merchandise authorization. No returns will be accepted and no credit will be given without a Return Merchandise Authorization. To receive a credit or a replacement unit, we must first have the opportunity to receive and fully inspect your return.
Return shipping charges are the responsibility of the customer and all returned items must be returned in "new" or "like new" condition, in original manufacturer's packaging with no damage and with all original product manuals. After the product is received, inspected and verified to be in "like new" condition, consideration will be given to the manufacturer to provide a full refund of the product purchase price less any original shipping charges and less a 25% restocking fee. For products sold with a "Free Shipping Promotion", the actual freight cost to originally ship the product will be deducted from your refund.
If you refuse an item delivered by a commercial carrier for any reason other than damaged merchandise or a shipping error on our part, the item will be treated as a return and the charges described in the previous section will apply.
Most products come with a manufacturer's warranty found on their packaging or documentation. We do not offer any warranty that exceeds the manufacturer's warranty.
Customer orders with Customized Configuration (Law 47/2002 on Retail Management) or On Demand, private labels or non-standard item models are not refundable.
REFUND POLICY
WARRANTY AND AFTER-SALES SERVICE
Most products come with a manufacturer's warranty found on their packaging or in their documentation. We do not offer any warranty that exceeds the manufacturer's warranty.
Generally the manufacturer offers a one-year factory warranty valid from the date of delivery, and will be responsible for delivering replacement parts and components to replace damage during the validity of this warranty. When the buyer is an importer/distributor, the factory warranty is limited to free parts and components, including shipping, and the customer is responsible for customs clearance, taxes, transportation and installation at the final destination. The factory warranty is void in case of mishandling, accidental damage and negligence.
You must follow the instructions provided with the delivery regarding operation, maintenance and service of the goods. If you do not do so, you will indemnify us against any claims at a later stage.
You must follow current health and safety legislation for operation, the handling protocols provided in the device manuals and possible training including proper and professional maintenance of the delivered goods. If you fail to do so you will indemnify us for any related claims.
