Return Policy and Procedures: (You can copy and paste the following policy onto your website replacing "ABC Company" with your company name. Edit policy as needed). Most unopened items in new condition returned within 30 days will receive a refund or exchange. Some items have a modified return policy that is less than 30 days.
      
Those items will show a “return by” date under the item on your receipt or packing slip and in the "Item details, shipping" tab if purchased on ABCCompany.com.

Items that are opened or damaged or do not have a packing slip or copy of email receipt may be denied a refund or exchange. All bundled items must be returned with all components for a refund.


RMA Guidelines

To qualify for return all products require a Return Authorization Number (RMA) prior to being returned, must be 100% complete, in the same condition as when sold, and in the original packaging as provided by the manufacturer. All packing materials, accessories and documentation must be included. Kits and other items assembled after purchase must be unassembled and returned in the manufacturer's original packaging. All returns will be inspected and products found to be non-conforming will be rejected or subject to a restocking fee at ABC Company's sole discretion. Items returned without an RMA number will be denied and returned back to the sender.


Non-qualified returns and Restocking charges

Non-qualified and non-conforming returns are not included in ABC Company's return policy and, if returned, will be rejected or subject to a restocking fee of up to 25% at ABC Company's sole discretion.


Manufacturer and Supplier Restrictions

Some manufacturers have implemented returns restrictions that prevent ABC Company from being able to accept returns or offer exchanges, replacements or credits on their products for any reason. Please check the item listing on our website to determine if special return policies are applicable to your products. Support as well as exchanges or replacements for products with manufacturer or supplier restrictions, including within the first 30 days of ownership, must be handled directly with the product manufacturer or supplier. You can find the manufacturer or suppliers contact information in your product manual, in the item listing, on the manufacturer's website or at our help center.
