What Do You Have To Do?

Benbria will not provide any Warranty coverage unless your claim is in compliance with all terms of this Warranty statement and you follow proper return procedures. To request Warranty service, please follow the Benbria RMA procedure as outlined below.

RMA Procedure:

  1. First, attempt to troubleshoot the issue using the Benbria Knowledge Base and troubleshooting procedures as provided by Benbria (available at support.benbria.com).

  2. If troubleshooting fails to resolve the issue and you believe the Product requires RMA, please contact Benbria support and provide a detailed description of the issue.

  3. Once Benbria determines that a repair or replacement is required, you will be prompted for your name, address, phone number, e-mail, Benbria Account Number, original Order Number and then issued a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number to use when returning the Product. Product you return to Benbria must be properly packaged in its original packaging (or packaging providing the Product with protection equivalent to the original packaging to withstand the hazards of shipment) and shipped, fully insured, with all shipping charges and related fees (including any applicable customs clearance fees or duties) prepaid by you, via a shipping method that provides for tracking of your package, to the address provided when you received your RMA number. If you do not receive a specific return address with your RMA number the following address should be used:
     Return to:
     Benbria Corporation
     Attn: RMA #(insert your RMA number here)
     390 March Road, Kanata, ON, Canada, K2K 0G7
    All Product returns must be to the attention of RMA and have the RMA number included and visible on the outside of the packaging. RMAs are valid only if the return package is shipped within 10 business days after the RMA number is issued.

  4. If you were given an RMA number, if Benbria receives and if Benbria acknowledges receipt of the product, Benbria will, at its sole discretion, either repair or replace your Product without charge with a functionally equivalent Product using new or refurbished components. You will be responsible for the cost of shipping the repaired or replacement Product back to you (including any applicable customs clearance fees or duties). If Benbria ships a replacement Product to you, you agree to transfer ownership of the original Product to Benbria, and Benbria will not return your original Product to you. Benbria warrants that repaired or replaced Products are covered [for the greater of either the remainder of the original Product warranty or 90 days].

Does Your Domestic Law Apply?

Airline and/or Commercial Carriers

This Warranty excludes any damage by Airlines or Commercial Carriers. Airlines or Commercial Carriers occasionally put containers/packages in situations beyond reasonable care and handling. If damage should occur during handling or transportation by an Airline or Commercial Carrier, it is your responsibility to file a claim directly with the Airline or Commercial Carrier.
