2. RMA Terms And Conditions

2.1. Important Information

1. Before returning any Product or item, a Return Material Authorization ('RMA') number has to be obtained by the Customer from the Manufacturer by contacting the Manufacturer in writing via email using the e-mail address This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
2. To make a Warranty claim, the start date of the Warranty ('Date') has to be proven to the Manufacturer with the dated invoice of the original Customer. If that document cannot be presented, the Manufacturer will calculate the Date by using the date the product has left the Manufacturer’s warehouse plus 30 calendar days.
3. E-mail correspondence is sufficient for all such written communication.

2.2. Prerequisites

1. Before an RMA number is issued, the Manufacturer will first contact and work with the Customer to try to resolve any issues.
2. Only after it has been determined that the Product needs to be sent in, an RMA number will be issued to the Customer.
3. The RMA number will be sent via e-mail together with a digital RMA Sheet.

2.3. RMA Procedure

1. The Customer has to fill out the RMA Sheet provided by the Manufacturer completely and legibly.
   (The form can be filled in digitally using a personal computer.)
2. The Customer needs to enclose a printed copy of the completed RMA Sheet with the returned Product.
   Alternatively, the completed RMA Sheet can be sent by e-mail. In this case, the Customer has to make sure that the corresponding RMA number is clearly and visibly marked on or added to the package.
3. Products or items that have been sent to the Manufacturer without a valid RMA number can be returned to the sender; and if so at the expense of the sender.
4. When returning several Products in a single shipment, the Customer needs to provide an individual RMA Sheet for each returned Product.
5. The Customer has to return Products in packaging suitable for the transport. For any shipments, the address provided above is to be used.
6. The Customer will take on all shipping costs of returning Products to the Manufacturer and will assume the transport risk, which usually can be insured. The Manufacturer will not assume responsibility for any loss or damage incurred during shipping.
7. The Manufacturer will evaluate all returned Products according to the information provided by the Customer. Defective Products or parts that fall under Warranty will be repaired or replaced free of charge and the Manufacturer will pay the freight and shipping charges of sending repaired or replaced Products back to the Customer.
8. Repaired or replaced Products will still be subject to the original Warranty period of the Product, which remains unchanged, but never less than 30 calendar days.
9. In case the Manufacturer determines that there is no Warranty case because the issue, cause, or malfunction causing the issue is not covered by the Warranty and the claim is thus denied, or in case the Manufacturer cannot duplicate the problem itself or the conditions that have caused the return of the Product, an evaluation fee of 50.00 EUR will be charged.
10. In case repair is still possible for Products from denied Warranty cases or failed evaluations, the Customer will receive a written offer with an estimate of the total costs. This offer needs to be confirmed by the Customer before any out-of-warranty repairs will be carried out. The Manufacturer's current labor rate is 100.00 EUR per hour, plus costs for the required parts.
11. If the offer is denied by the Customer or no offer could be made, the Product will be returned to the Customer 'as is' and as soon as possible at the Customer’s expense for freight, shipping, insurance, and customs as applicable, or the Product will be discarded after 30 calendar days of written notification of denial at the Customer’s discretion.
