12.1 General guidelines for warranty/claims
All service and or warranty claims regarding electronic products, purchased from Response Benelux BV are handled by our service partner Techrepair, unless agreed otherwise.
When a product is defective, has errors, or is dead on arrival (DOA), we have the following guidelines: In general, we credit the Retailer for the amount the product was originally purchased for. In cases where the customer has purchased the product from a Retailer which is not a current customer of Response Nordic AS or Response Benelux BV (not a brand Retailer), but who has previously been one with a former distributor, the Retailer should send us the invoice with proof of their purchase price/cost (from the former distributor). We will generally credit the Retailer for the amount the product was originally purchased for after registration and approval from our inhouse RMA service. Exceptions may apply. In cases where the retailer who sold the product is bankrupt or does not exist, the client must go to the respective official brand webpages. Alternatively take this to an authorized dealer that accepts such cases. Products purchased from an unauthorized resellers or bought through the unregulated market are the reseller’s responsibility. In this case we can only refer to official brand webpages for a service/RMA request. Should you want more info, please send a mail to support@response-nordic.eu, or call your local sales contact.
Guidelines and procedures for service and warranty claims of electronic products: The following trouble shooting list for electronic devices should always be executed before you register any service or warranty claim with us. This must be confirmed when a service or warranty claim is registered:
– If relevant, does the electronic device have the correct SD/memory card. Is this an approved SD/memory card? Test the device with a functioning and approved SD card
– If relevant, check if all the related soft and firmware is up to date. Update if necessary.
– If relevant, check the battery. Original battery or approved ones only. Test the device with a functioning and approved battery
– Check for any external damages, scratches and so on. To find out if the electronic device may have been used in places and in ways that are not proper/within approval for claims/guarantee.
– If relevant, check if the customer has the latest app-version for the product.
– Extra guidelines per brand may be applicable.
If the electronic device does not work properly after these troubleshooting points are checked, you will need to register the service claim (RMA) with Techrepair, unless other agreements have been made. If you do not have an RMA system that will work or communicate with our service partners system, you will need to log in to Techrepair: Portal.techrepair.nl To register the RMA you will need to confirm that the trouble shooting points mentioned above have been checked. Make sure you have your account number available. This is needed to complete the registration. Your account number is shown on orderconfirmation/ shippingdocuments/ invoices etc. When you register the case, you will need to note your own internal case/RMA number, and if there is a serial number on the device, this also needs to be noted. Please copy the Techrepair case number given in your own system. These reference numbers are critical and must follow the RMA case all the way for us to be able to credit you. After you have registered the case and we approve the claim, we will send you a receipt and a prepaid return patch on your specified e-mail address. You will be notified by e-mail about the outcome of your submission. Note that Techrepair will not replace any device. Credit notes will be issued continuously from Response Nordic AS / Response Benelux BV, with reference to case number created by Techrepair.

This also applies if there are no faults found (NFF). This fee will also be charged if the product is not required back.
