Return Procedures

A. Return Merchandise Authorization ("RMA") for Product Returns

If a repair is required, the Distributor must request and obtain a RMA number through fax or e-mail. All returns must be accompanied with the assigned RMA number via prepaid freight. The RMA number is valid for 30 days from issuance and a new one will need to be requested in the event it expires.

NUVICO will not accept any unauthorized or "freight collect" returns. Nuvico will return any shipment to the shipper at shippers expense, should only a portion of it have an appropriate RMA. In the event a returned product contains parts that are no longer available or practical to repair, NUVICO will contact the customer to discuss a mutually equitable resolution.

B. Returns for Credit or Product Restocking

A restocking charge of twenty percent (20%) of the original purchase price will be applied to all approved credit returns of products returned for reasons other than product failure, unless prior written authorization is secured through NUVICO.
1. Product must be new, in resellable condition with all original packaging, manuals and included accessories.
2. Stand-alone accessories and mounts are excluded from both Credit and Restock programs.
3. Product must be returned within 120 days of original invoice date.
