end user receives excellent service and warranty provision.<br />

1.1 Definitions<br />

Retailer:<br />

<strong>Warranty</strong>:<br />

Dead on Arrival:<br />

(DoA)<br />

<strong>Revelo</strong> limited sells to a network of Retailers<br />

As defined in the ‘Manufacturer’s <strong>Warranty</strong> and Limitation of Liability’ document.<br />

Any product that has a faulty part ‘out of box’, whether with Retailer or end<br />

user/customer, on receipt of goods. The product<br />

must be unused and as new and returned in full in original packaging.<br />

2.0 Strategy<br />

<strong>Revelo</strong> Limited will give the Retailer a warranty period of 15 months from the date of manufacture.<br />

The Retailer will give the end customer a warranty period of 12 months from the date of purchase from the<br />

Retailer.<br />

A unit that fails within the DoA period, as defined above, can be returned for credit using the RMA process as<br />

detailed below.<br />

A unit that fails outside the DoA period but within the warranty period can be returned for a non-chargeable repair<br />

or replacement, as detailed below.<br />

Repairs are carried out by the Manufacturer’s UK Service Centre in Lichfield, Staffordshire<br />

Note:<br />

Any agreement by the Retailer and their end customer for non defective returns or destocking (customer<br />

remorse) will be a sole agreement between the two parties and will not be covered under the conditions<br />

of this warranty policy provided by <strong>Revelo</strong> Limited.<br />

2.1 Limitations.<br />

This warranty does not cover damage or malfunction resulting from misuse, unusual external effects, accidental<br />

damage, normal wear and tear, failure to follow normal procedures outlined in the user manual, use with other<br />

products not manufactured or approved by <strong>Revelo</strong> Limited, alteration, damage while in transit, repairs attempted<br />

by any unauthorised person or agency, or any other reason not due to defects in materials or workmanship. This<br />

warranty does not cover units used for loan or rental and becomes void if the external serial number or warranty<br />

void labels are defaced, altered or removed.<br />

2.2 Extent Of Coverage.<br />

There are no further warranties other than those expressed herein. Furthermore, there are no implied warranties,<br />

including the warranties of merchantability beyond the period specifically set forth. This warranty represents the<br />

purchasers exclusive remedy and <strong>Revelo</strong> Limited will not be liable for any special, incidental or consequential<br />

damages relating to the product sold, or for any delay in the performance of this warranty due to causes beyond<br />

its control.<br />

2.3 Physical Damage.<br />

Broken plastics, latches etc. as well as cosmetic and other types of damage which are the result of improper<br />

handling or abuse are not covered by the warranty. Any warranty return that <strong>Revelo</strong> Limited determines is a<br />

result of improper handling or operational procedures will be rejected.<br />

2.4 <strong>Warranty</strong> Repair.<br />

<strong>Revelo</strong> Limited reserves the right to replace a faulty unit where it deems appropriate.


3.0 Returning Product<br />

It is important that faulty units are reported back to <strong>Revelo</strong> Limited for analysis and, depending on the fault<br />

diagnosis, subsequent repair, replacement or refund.<br />

To ensure proper handling, the return should be implemented as follows:<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

Request an Return to Manufacturer Authorisation (RMA) number from <strong>Revelo</strong> Limited by e-mailing a<br />

completed RMA request form to service@revelo.co.uk. The form should specify if the product was DOA<br />

(see 1.1 above for definition).<br />

Once authorisation has been given, properly pack the units and clearly mark the outside with the RMA<br />

number (see 4.3 below).<br />

Units are to be returned monthly. An authorised RMA is valid for 1 month only. If units are not received within<br />

one month of the RMA being issued, the RMA will be void and a new claim will have to be made.<br />

Return the defective units with the necessary information: product name, description of fault (detailed &<br />

accurate, including name of failed component(s) – refer to the product manual for a list of components if you<br />

are unsure); return address for repairs or replacements.<br />

Units returned without an RMA number will be considered parts which are not under warranty and hence<br />

void.<br />

Send to: <strong>Revelo</strong> Ltd Service Centre<br />

Enterprise Industrial Park<br />

Lichfield, Staffs WS14 9UY<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

If the product is In-warranty and subject to ‘limitations’ as detailed above, it will be repaired free of charge<br />

and returned to the specified return address.<br />

Note: User damage is outside of the Manufacturer’s <strong>Warranty</strong> cover<br />

If the product is Out-of-<strong>Warranty</strong>, a quotation for the repair will be sent to the return address.<br />

Note: No work will proceed until payment or approved authorisation has been received.<br />

Once payment/authorisation has been received, the repair will be carried out and returned to the specified<br />

return address.<br />

4.0 Freight & Shipping<br />

4.1 Damage in Transit.<br />

<strong>Revelo</strong> Limited accepts no responsibility for damage or loss caused by the Retailer’s shipper or his contract<br />

affiliates. It is the Retailer’s responsibility to claim from the carrier in the event of any identified shipping damage.<br />

4.2 Freight costs<br />

The cost of transporting returned items under RMA is to be borne by the Retailer.<br />

The cost of Repaired units back to the Retailer is borne by <strong>Revelo</strong> Limited.<br />

4.3 Packaging<br />

Clearly mark the RMA number on the outside of the each carton.<br />

Enclose a list of contents of each carton.<br />

Units returned under warranty which have not been packed correctly and consequently have been damaged in<br />

shipping will be treated as warranty void.<br />

4.4 Excess Shipments<br />

Return only what has been authorised on the RMA<br />

<strong>Returns</strong> in excess of what has been authorised will be notified back to the sender and disposed of if not collected<br />

As part of the RMA procedure the following information is required to be completed on the ‘Request for RMA’<br />

form.<br />

Product Name<br />

Quantity<br />

Fault Found<br />

This data will be used by <strong>Revelo</strong> Limited for statistical purposes, including failure rates, fault trends and other<br />

product analysis. Failure to complete the RMA form with the above information may delay your claim.<br />
