Once the two (2) instances of two way international shipping have been exhausted, the end user will be liable for transit costs back to HIDevolution, and HIDevolution will cover one way shipping back to the end user following completion of warranty related work.
HIPS service is valid for ALL countries where HIDevolution ships to.

A HIPS service plan may be purchased after the receipt of merchandise by the end user. The cost is dependent on the time lapsed since the original receipt of merchandise.
HIPS service plans are NOT an extension of the product warranty.
10. Warranty Claim Procedure
Provided the end user contacts HIDevolution before the expiration of the limited warranty period, the standard warranty claim procedure involves:
1) Contacting the manufacturer by phone or email; or HIDevolution by email, online ticket system, live chat, or phone for initial remote troubleshooting, which may involve but is not limited to performing basic troubleshooting steps with a live support agent, illustration of problem through video or video chat with a support agent, live remote access or control by support agent to end user’s system through a support application/utility with end user’s written or verbal authorization.
2) After all remote troubleshooting steps and procedures have been exhausted, the end user may be asked to send the product to the manufacturer or HIDevolution for inspection/diagnosis. A Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number must be assigned prior to shipping your defective product. Once assigned, the RMA number is valid for a period of 10 business days and must be returned to HIDevolution within the validity period. For continental U.S. based end users, HIDevolution and the manufacturer will provide complimentary two way ground shipping through FedEx Ground or equivalent. An expedited return shipping method may be chosen for an additional charge. End users located in Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, U.S. possessions and territories, and military addresses may ship the product to the manufacturer or HIDevolution at their cost or purchase a shipping label from HIDevolution. If the problem has been pinpointed to a certain component (through remote troubleshooting), and HIDevolution deems it sufficiently safe for the end user to perform his/her own work, the end user will be given an option for a self repair via core exchange (exchange of working parts for non-working/DOA parts). Core exchanges require a deposit equal to the value of the replacement components in the form of a credit card authorization, refundable Paypal or Amazon payment, or equivalent.
3) At their discretion, HIDevolution and the manufacturer, will repair or replace the faulty component; or replace the entire product. HIDevolution will have no liability for loss or recovery of data or programs. End users should back up their data or request HIDevolution to attempt data recovery prior to shipping the product to HIDevolution.
