Policies
Freight Payment Policy:
- You, the customer, pays and arranges for all inbound shipments to Control Solutions, regardless if the product is under warranty or not. Please insure your part shipment as we are not responsible for damage during this shipment.
- Return shipping from Control Solutions will be surface/ground freight unless specifically requested by you. If special requirements and/or expedited shipment are required this will be added to any repair expenses.
Inspection and Triage policy:
- CSLLC will inspect the RMA shipment when it arrives.
- If it is damaged, CSLLC will notify you immediately. It is then your responsibility to initiate a claims inspection with your shipping company.
- Upon receipt of the defective product(s), CSLLC will inspect, diagnose and, if under warranty, repair or replace the product(s).
- If defective units are out of warranty, repair charges may apply. When units are repaired they are restored to the manufacturer’s original operating specifications.
- CSLLC reserves the right to refuse repair. If the customer wishes to have the product in question returned, it is at the your expense.
Repair Process policy:
- CSLLC will impose an up charge for the removal of post-factory installed devices attached to a product that impede the repair of the product. Examples include labels, mounting brackets, fasteners, and tape.
- CSLLC strives to maintain an average repair interval of ten (10) business days, but makes no guarantees regarding the period of in-house repair time.
- It is CSLLC’s policy to perform hardware and software upgrades to the latest revision level (where applicable and practical) free of charge for in-warranty product returns – unless the upgrade is due to a customer requested change.
- CSLLC provides a 48-hour rush service to expedite repair of specific unit(s). Rush unit(s) will be prioritized and will be guaranteed to ship on the second business day after notification is provided to CSLLC and returned components/unit(s) have been received. If an item is part of a previous shipment CSLLC received, contact CSLLC to locate the item and attempt to process it as a “Rush”. An Expedite fee will be assessed per unit in addition to customary repair charges. CSLLC will only guarantee up to three (3) Rush units per customer per day.
