The RMA Process

    When investigation is complete a ROC will be provided

  • Performed Repair

    Once ROC is accepted the repair will start and returned as soon as possible

  • Initiate an RMA – Submit the mandatory information via the form below. Do not send equipment until you receive an RMA confirmation.
  • For all non-warranty repairs a cost estimation and repair time cycle can be provided up front.
  • Depending on the nature of the failure a technician from our supplier might contact you for a remote session before sending in your equipment.
  • Always send the whole system including controller/amplifier, cabling etc, if not instructed otherwise.
  • The initial investigation of the equipment is done by our suppliers and they will determine the cause of failure, and that warranty hasn’t been voided. If equipment is covered by warranty it will be repaired and returned.
  • The Repair Order Calculation (ROC) includes found observations, planned reparative actions and a cost estimate for equipment out of warranty.
  • The ROC needs to be accepted or declined (see more terms and conditions regarding repair fees) within 10 days from receipt.
  • If further issues are found during the repair process and metrology, an updated cost estimate will provide as soon as possible.

Repair Fees

  • Repairs, for reasons not identifiable in the initial investigation, and found not to be repairable.
  • Repair cost supersedes cost of a new product, the net price of a new system will be charged for the repair/replacement. If this is the case we will inform you first.
  • Unit is sent in for repair/calibration/check-up, and no failure is found or unit corrected (even under warranty).
  • In case you decline to cover the costs of a repair as specified in our Repair Order Calculation. This fee is not refundable if the you later decide to perform a repair.

Additional Costs & Fees

  • To ease the return process, we aim to support you with return shipping labels. However, in some cases we will ask you to organize shipping.
  • When warranty is valid –  return freight after performed repair is free of charge.
  • When warranty is not valid – return freight is charged separately from the cost stated in the Repair Order Calculation.
  • Customer is responsible for taxes and duties when/if applicable.

General Warranty Information

Most our products are covered by a standard 24 month warranty (inquire with our sales representative for further details). Warranty is voided if it is clear from the submission of the service & repair request or if it is identified during the investigation that the customer altered the product or caused the damaged through gross negligence. In case that warranty has been deemed voided, repair will be handled as out of warranty and a service fee will be charged even if customer chooses not to accept the Repair Order Calculation. In some cases that are covered by warranty we might issue a credit instead of replacing the product.

Extended Warranty Period – Repaired Parts

The repaired part/s receives an extended 24 month warranty. Note that it is only the replaced component/s in a system/product that receives a new warranty cycle and not the system as a whole.
