Product Return Procedure
Eligibility Criteria for Return or Replacement
Products are eligible for replacement within 180 days or for reimbursement within 30 days from the date of acquisition. Post the 30-day window, the applicability of the manufacturer's warranty ensues, contingent upon availability. The duration of warranties varies across different product categories. Certain merchandise, once unsealed, becomes ineligible for return. Items encased in factory-sealed retail boxes, once opened, are non-returnable. The act of unsealing a software package or breaking its seal signifies your concurrence with the enclosed license agreement. Licenses, digital commodities, services, or tangible goods such as service contracts are non-returnable.
Returns are subject to a levy of a 20% restocking fee, with the onus of shipping costs for returned products resting upon the customer. Replacements are dispatched via ground transportation, barring the provision of additional payment for expedited methods by the customer. Expenditures incurred for premium shipping and credit card processing fees are non-refundable. Products exhibiting physical damage are deemed ineligible for return. In instances of receipt of damaged merchandise, immediate notification to the shipper is imperative.
For products compromised during transit, rejection of the package is advised if conspicuous damage is observed. Should damage be discovered upon unwrapping, prompt engagement with the carrier for inspection is crucial, followed by liaising with ServerOrbit to initiate a claim. The reporting of damaged packages to ServerOrbit must transpire within two business days; failure to comply absolves us of responsibility for damage claims. Factory-sealed products returned in good condition are subject to a 35% restocking fee.
In scenarios involving defective or dead-on-arrival (DOA) items, a replacement will be dispatched forthwith. Should a DOA product be ascertained as operational, the imposition of a 50% RMA fee ensues. The attempt to return any item divergent from what was initially dispatched to you is proscribed. All shipments and serial numbers undergo documentation before dispatch.
For the initiation of a return, procurement of an RMA number from the ServerOrbit.com RMA department is requisite. Products returned devoid of an RMA number fail to be recognized as returns. The receipt of returned merchandise by ServerOrbit must occur within 10 days; contrarily, the RMA is rendered null. All returns attract a 20% restocking fee. For an RMA request, the provision of the order number, serial numbers of products, rationale for return, action to be undertaken, and the status of the box (opened or manufacturer-sealed) is obligatory.
Warranty Provisions:
30-Day Refund Warranty and 180-Day Replacement Warranty:
The provision of replacement or refund is available for defects in material. The initial recourse is the replacement of the merchandise. The replacement endeavour continues as long as the merchandise remains within the ambit of the original warranty period. In the event of our inability to replace the merchandise, reimbursement of the actual sell price of the merchandise ensues. Shipping charges and taxes, where applicable, are non-refundable. The prerogative to decide between product replacement or refund restitution resides with ServerOrbit.com.
For Extended Warranty Items:
The Extended 1-3 years warranty commences after the original warranty (30 days) and culminates 1-to-3-year from the purchase date, as delineated on the invoice. In the event of material defects, ServerOrbit.com commits to a solitary replacement. Should we falter in the replacement endeavour, reimbursement of the actual sell price of the merchandise will be affected. Charges about warranty, shipping, and taxes, where applicable, are non-refundable. The discretion to opt between product replacement or refund restitution resides with ServerOrbit.com.
