An item can be returned, subject to several basic requirements under our 30-day Satisfaction Guarantee.

1. If an item fails within the warranty period we will repair and return it freight prepaid.

2. If an item is outside the warranty period and requires repair we will inspect, repair and return the item to you for a reasonable charge for the work and the cost for freight.

3. If you think an item or system is not working properly we expect you to read the instruction manual, talk to our customer service department and make a reasonable effort to resolve the problem

4. If you return an item to us for repair or "because it doesn't work" and the item is found to work properly then we will charge you an "Analysis / Inspection" charge plus the return freight.

5. The above RMA request forms and the RMA polices and procedures (at right) are intended to clarify rules, prevent misunderstanding and to expedite the resolution of problems.
