5.1 Claims under this RVS Limited Warranty must be in writing, following the RMA process set forth below, and presented within the applicable warranty period set forth in Sections 1 and 2 above. All claims must include the serial number of the applicable Product, the name of the Customer (which must be the original purchaser), and the date (as to which Warrantor may require written evidence) the alleged defect was discovered. Within 30 business days of receiving a written claim pursuant to this Section 5.1, a member of Warrantor’s staff will contact Customer and arrange for a time and place for a Warrantor representative to inspect the applicable Product, if necessary, and/or Warrantor may require the return of the applicable Product. For clarity, in addition to the other provisions of this Section 5, all RVS Limited Warranty claims MUST be fully approved by Warrantor, in its sole discretion, prior to the commencement of any repair or replacement work in respect of such claims.
If Warrantor instructs Customer to return any Product to Warrantor, the item will be assigned a Return Material Authorization (“RMA”) number and must be returned to Warrantor, insured, and with transportation charges prepaid by Customer, within 30 days of the RMA number being assigned. If the item is not returned within such 30-day period, this RVS Limited Warranty automatically will terminate (and Warrantor will have no further liability or obligation) with respect to that Product. The RMA number should be clearly visible on the outside of the package. A packing slip with a description of the nature of the return and the RMA number should be included with the package. Action taken by Warrantor on returned products could be delayed if an RMA number is not assigned.
5.2 After a representative of Warrantor inspects the applicable Product or otherwise assesses the problem, Warrantor will determine and take appropriate action (if any), in its sole discretion, to remedy the alleged problem. If the claim is for a manufacturing defect, Warrantor must be satisfied, in its sole discretion, that such Product was defective at the time it left Warrantor’s factory. If Warrantor determines that a Product is not covered by this RVS Limited Warranty (and not otherwise eligible for exchange or credit) the customer will be notified and have 30 days to request repair or replacement at Customer’s expense (at Warrantor’s then-current pricing, or other pricing mutually agreed by the Parties in writing), or request the return of the Product. Some older Products may not be repairable due to unavailable or discontinued parts from vendors, and Warrantor will have no obligations or liability with respect to any of same.
5.3 In some cases, at Warrantor’s discretion and subject to availability, and subject to the remainder of this Section 5.3, Warrantor may provide a temporary loaner for a Product that is returned to Warrantor for repair or servicing. Warrantor may put a hold on Customer’s credit card/account for the value of the loaner equipment. If Customer fails to return the loaner to Warrantor within 30 days of receipt, then Warrantor may charge Customer’s card (or invoice Customer for, and Customer agrees to, within 30 days of receipt of such invoice, pay Warrantor for) the purchase of such loaner.
5.4 This RVS Limited Warranty does not cover labor, unless otherwise agreed by Warrantor in writing in its sole discretion. In any event, without limiting the foregoing, Warrantor will not reimburse any labor connected with the removal or reinstallation of adhesives, decals, stickers, tapes, etc., and any authorized reimbursement will be for actual repair time only (and will not cover travel to or from the vehicle location) and will be limited to the maximum reimbursement rate and time allowance parameters then in effect for Warrantor, which may be obtained from Warrantor upon request.
