Limited Warranty:  This limited warranty is granted to the customer by EMAC, Inc. and extends only to the original customer purchase of the product. All products are tested and evaluated prior to shipping to insure complete functionality. However, if a product exhibits a manufacturing defect, return the product within the limited warranty period and EMAC, Inc. will repair or replace it (with the same or equivalent model), at our option, with no charge to you. If the limited warranty period is not explicitly stated on the invoice then the limited warranty defaults to one (1) year, from the original invoice date. A limited Warranty for Kits covers parts that were defective when shipped from EMAC, Inc., not those damaged by the customer. EMAC, Inc. will replace the defective Kit part(s) for a period of 30 days from the original date of the Kit invoice. Return the product or defective parts to EMAC, Inc. for repair or replacement. If the product is replaced, EMAC, Inc. may provide a reconditioned version of the same or equivalent model. Parts used in repairing or replacing the product will be warranted until the original warranty expires. Products or parts that malfunction and are not warranted will be replaced or repaired and then shipped entirely at the expense of the customer.

How to Exercise Your Limited Warranty or Obtain Service:

RMA: In order to return any product or part, the customer must obtain a Returned Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. To be granted an RMA number, a Technical Support Ticket Issue number must first be obtained from an EMAC Support Technician. The Support Technician can provide this number, or the customer may submit a new support ticket by using the web form at http://www.emacinc.com/support/. Alternatively, calling or emailing EMAC, Inc can get a support ticket requested, but a support ticket will be required for RMA authorization. After the customer provides all of the necessary information (listed below) and obtains a Support Issue number, the customer will be provided with an RMA number and shipping instructions to use in returning the product. Once the RMA number is granted, the customer has 30 days to ship the product to EMAC, Inc. After 30 days, the RMA number expires and another RMA number must be obtained from EMAC, Inc. If the malfunction is deemed a manufacturing defect, no charge will be accessed for warranty service except for any prepaid shipping cost to EMAC, Inc. Products are returned to the customer using normal UPS ground shipping. EMAC, Inc. will return the product via ground service in the case of a manufacturer’s defect, at no charge to the customer. It is EMAC’s policy to charge for evaluation and testing on boards that are under warranty if there is No Problem Found(NPF) so please provide specific detailed information as to the symptoms the product is exhibiting. If a faster shipping method is required for a return, or if the customer is outside the 48 contiguous United States, the customer will be charged for all shipping fees, taxes and tariffs to return the products to their facilities after the RMA is processed. Merchandise should be shipped in a safe and secure package, making use of ESD shielding products to prevent ESD Damage during shipment. The RMA number needs to be on the label or clearly visible on the outside of the packaging.
