Warranty
Warranty
Customer satisfaction is guaranteed, and we proudly stand by our products and services and always include a reasonable free warranty option on all, including a paid extended warranty option in some cases. We always try our best to satisfy our customers, as we believe that happy customers are the most important part of fueling a healthy business.
A. GENERAL
1. WARRANTY AND PRODUCT TYPES:
Different warranty terms apply to different products. We have three product types: services, tangible products, and digital (downloadable) products. All products are covered by a warranty term, which is always shown on the product page.
2. CORE AS WARRANTY:
The core is the old part you replaced with the part you ordered. For TANGIBLE products, in some cases where a core is required, there will NOT be a core charge to order the product; instead, your warranty for the purchased product depends on returning the core to us, when required. In those cases, your warranty will activate as soon as we receive the core. If this applies to any specific product, we will describe it on the product’s information page.
B. GENERAL CONDITIONS FOR HONORING A WARRANTY
Honoring a warranty is processed on a case-by-case basis. Generally, to honor a warranty claim, the following conditions must be met, among others that may apply in special cases and are previously agreed with the customer.
1. TANGIBLE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES (EXCLUDES DIGITAL PRODUCTS)
- The warranty term has NOT expired.
- The Warranty seal or label (if applicable) is NOT tampered with, removed, broken, or altered.
- The product or serviced unit is NOT broken or dropped from a considerable height that may have caused it to malfunction.
- The product or serviced unit is NOT flooded with water or any other liquid.
- The product or serviced unit is NOT used in a way it is not intended for (Example: if used in a car, model, or equipment that the product or serviced unit is not intended for).
- The product or serviced unit was NOT used in a vehicle or equipment with a short circuit or damaged electrical system.
- The product or serviced unit was NOT connected in a way that differs from the manufacturer’s specifications.
- The product or serviced unit was NOT burned by causes unrelated to the product or service performed (external causes).

- The product or serviced unit sent back is the same unit we shipped to the customer.

- If a licensing system controls the digital product and it has been downloaded, but not used, we will issue a full refund and deactivate both the download availability and the license. Our systems will show whether the license has been activated or not.
- If the product has been downloaded and the license (if any) was used, we will consult the customer to see if we can help with the issue. At this point we generally do not offer refunds, but this is applied on a case by cases basis, where the specific application, the needs of the customer and other circumstances matter to take a decision.
- The product was NOT used in a way it is not intended to be used.
- The product was NOT affected by computer viruses or malware in any way.

Tangible Products
All warranty cases must fully comply with the conditions in section B
1. By customer choice, we will either fully refund the customer after we receive back the defective product, or options “2” or “3” below in that order, as applicable.

D. RETURNS
Returns are covered in more detail on our “Returns” page, but here are some important points.
RETURN AUTHORIZATION (RMA)
For any claim that requires returning a purchased product or a serviced unit, an RMA will NOT be necessary. Still, it is IMPORTANT to contact us before doing so, as we will ONLY process returns for cases previously approved for a warranty claim in a prior communication with the customer. We will provide the return address by email, text message, or phone conversation.
E. REFUND TYPES
FULL REFUND
The customer receives a refund of the total amount paid for their order.
NET REFUND
The customer receives a refund for the product or service, minus shipping charges.
The products and services listed under free shipping (USA shipments only), are truly shipped for free. That means the money spent on shipping comes out of our profit and is NOT added to the item price. That is, with or without shipping, the item price is the same, and shipping is on us. In the event that the product or service is canceled by the customer, but the goods have already shipped, we will accept the item back as a return, as long as it complies with our return policy in section II-A-2 on this page, but (1) the return shipping must be covered by the customer, and (2) when we send the refund, the shipping rate we paid to ship it to you will be discounted form the refund.
Free shipping is a courtesy we offer as a result of you doing business with us. If you return the item, the sale is not completed, and we have already spent on shipping. As a result, we will charge the customer for shipping, plus the fee PayPal charges us to process the refund.
