5. HIDevolution Global Warranty
For an additional charge HIDevolution offers a global warranty for end users either traveling or residing outside of the U.S.
HIDevolution global warranties includes two (2) instances per year of free two way international shipping should the system, components, and/or accessories need to be sent back to HIDevolution for warranty related repair or replacement. 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.
HIDevolution global warranties are valid for ALL countries where HIDevolution ships to.
The method of return shipping is dependent on the origin country and is entirely at the discretion of HIDevolution. Return shipping is handled through one of the following methods:
1) Pre-paid FedEx or DHL shipping label – HIDevolution will provide a pre-paid shipping label from FedEx or DHL through email.
2) Return shipping concession – HIDevolution will provide a credit in the form of US Dollars or equivalent store credit, at the end user’s discretion, for the costs incurred for end user determined return shipping. The end user must provide HIDevolution with a receipt that shows the amount paid and if available, the billable weight and return tracking number. For the purpose of determining the amount of return shipping concession, HIDevolution will predetermine the billable weight based on the product’s weight, as referenced from the manufacturer’s specifications list. The compensation amount corresponds to the United States Postal Service (USPS) Priority Mail Express International service (post office rate) below - https://ircalc.usps.gov
Import and export related taxes, duties, or fees are the responsibility of the end user. HIDevolution does not take responsibility for any extraneous costs.
A HIDevolution global warranty 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.
At their cost, end users located outside of the U.S. at time of warranty claim may send the product back to HIDevolution for coverage under the standard 1 year warranty. If needed, a prepaid FedEx or DHL return shipping label may be purchased from HIDevolution. HIDevolution will invoice the end user the transit costs for returning the goods to the end user once the claim is resolved.
6. 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 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 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 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 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 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.
7. Lifetime Free Technical Support
HIDevolution will provide technical advice and assistance for the product by email, online ticket system, live chat, or phone to the end user for as long as the end user continues to possess the product. Third party software and peripherals are not covered by this Lifetime Free Technical Support.
