Aqua Data will test the product according to the description of the problem listed on the RMA request form. After Aqua Data’s evaluation, Warranty or Out-of-Warranty status will be determined. If the description of the problem is a warranty issue as listed on the RMA request form, the product will be repaired under warranty at no charge and shipped, prepaid, back to the customer.

 

If the description of the problem is either not a warrantable repair, or different from the problem listed on Page 1 of the RMA request form, or damaged on delivery, we will contact the customer before proceeding.

 

If the product has no identifiable problem we reserve the right to charge for testing and return delivery.

Product Returns for “Non-Warranty” Determination
