This will avoid disappointment and the Goods being rejected, should you wish to return them.

The Buyer shall obtain a Returns Material Authorisation number (RMA) from the Seller before returning any goods. Goods received without a valid RMA number will not be dealt with but stored until the Seller is contacted by the Buyer with the required information.

The Buyer shall quote the sales invoice number and the serial number on which the goods were purchased, upon verification by the Seller, the Seller shall issue a RMA number which shall be valid for a period of seven (7) days.

MAINLAND UK RETURNS PROCEDURE

The procedure detailed below applies to mainland UK only.

NOTE: Isle of Man and Isle of Wight are treated for returns purposes as mainland UK with the exception that it is the customers' responsibility to obtain confirmation from the manufacturers that manufacturers warranties apply in their respective location. Regardless of any statements to the contrary in any marketing material or on the face of our invoices or other documents, we DO NOT guarantee that manufacturers' warranties apply in these locations.

In the event that goods are found to be faulty:

· The customer should contact us for an RMA form. A separate line should be used, and a separate RMA number will be issued, for each item.

· Completed RMA forms should be emailed to sales@etechnetworks.co.uk

· Upon receipt of completed RMA form, an RMA number will be issued. RMA numbers will not be issued unless all details are entered and correct. RMA numbers will be valid for 7 days from date of issue.

· Once an RMA number has been issued, the goods may be returned. It is the customer's responsibility to ship the goods. The Seller will not collect faulty goods.

· RMA numbers must be clearly attached to each item returned. Goods returned without a valid RMA number attached will not be tested. The customer will be responsible for collection of such goods, or provision of all details required to issue an RMA number.

· Returned goods must be in their original packaging and accompanied by all original drivers, cables and manuals. Goods must be packaged appropriately, with all hard drives, processors and memory in anti-static bags or anti-static wrap. Any goods found to be damaged in transit as a result of inappropriate packaging will not be tested or replaced.

· Goods will be tested by the returns department upon receipt. If goods are confirmed as faulty, replacement goods will be shipped to the customer. Where possible, we will ship replacement goods as part of any new orders placed. Upon replacement, we will issue a credit note for the original item and an invoice for the replacement at the original sale price. Faulty goods which have been returned and authorised for refund will be refunded back to the original payment method within 14 days.

· Goods tested and found to have no fault will be available for collection by the customer. The Seller is not responsible for the return of such items. (Please note that RMA goods are tested for the fault as specified on the RMA form. It is important therefore that description of faults are accurate and specific to the item returned.)

- Dead On Arrival requests MUST be notified to us within 3 days of invoice. A Dead On Arrival (DOA) certificate will need to be obtained from the manufacturer before goods will be accepted back.
