Returns Procedure
1. PureTech aim to operate an effective repair/replace service for RMA’s and our aim for turnaround times to be between 5 to 15 working days. However, this will be dependent on the reason for return and spares availability.
2. All products and/or accessories being returned must be accompanied by an RMA number and packing slip before they can be accepted into the Company. Please follow the procedure as detailed below.
3. For suspected defective products please contact our Support Team on 02392 488 302 or email support@puretechsecurity.co.uk as they may be able to rectify the issue remotely, in which case the RMA may not be necessary. If they advise to progress with the return, they will issue you a support ticket reference no. which must be included on the RMA form (within the Reason for Return section).
4. To progress the RMA, please log into your on-line account and complete the on-line RMA Form from the PureTech Website.
5. All fields on the form must be completed in full to prevent delays in processing your request. Incomplete or missing information may result with the RMA being rejected.
6. Once all fields are completed submit your response accordingly.
7. Upon submission of your RMA form an acknowledgement will be sent to you advising of the unique RMA number which should be used in all communications relating to the return.
8. Please note that the RMA number allocated is valid only for a period of 21-days after which we reserve the right to cancel the request.
9. Only products listed on the RMA form may be returned using this procedure. Any products returned not included on the RMA form will be rejected and returned to the customer.
10. Once the RMA form is assessed by our Returns Team, a request for further information may be sent before we are able to approve the RMA. Please respond promptly and directly to any requests to avoid processing delays.
11. Once the RMA request has been fully assessed, you will be advised of the outcome and when approved a packing slip will be sent to the customer. The RMA No. must be clearly marked on the outer packaging and the packing slip included within.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The issue of the RMA no. does not guarantee that the Advanced Replacement, Repair/Replacement, or that a credit will be approved.
12. All products being returned must be packaged carefully to avoid any damage during transit and include all original leads, connectors, manuals, and accessories in the original product packaging. Any products received that have been damaged in transit or in an unsatisfactory condition will void the warranty. PureTech will not be liable for any loss or damage incurred during transit.
13. After a faulty product has been tested, PureTech reserve the right to repair or replace with the same (or a product with equivalent specifications) or issue a full/part value credit.
14. If the product returned is outside of the warranty period (OOW) or is returned damaged, then a repair or replacement quotation will be generated for the customer.
