Warranty Fulfillment (RMA) Policy
Disclaimer
Card Concepts Inc. strongly recommends contacting CCI Technical Support to troubleshoot system issues before returning any equipment. Any returned equipment that has not gone through the recommended troubleshooting process that is found to be functional may be returned to the sender at their expense with no credit given. Warranty replacement will be only provided for failures due to manufacturing defects. Any product found to be damaged through intentional misuse, abuse, or negligence may be ineligible for an in-warranty replacement. When contacting CCI Support for troubleshooting assistance, obtain a case number to verify troubleshooting occurred before requesting an RMA.
A Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) is required to return products to Card Concepts Inc. for processing. In-warranty parts may be replaced through an authorized distributor or may be ordered with a credit card.**
**A credit card will be required to complete the return request if the returned item is functional. For further details please contact CCI at 866-860-1660, option #2.
