This document outlines Charge Anywhere, LLC’s (“CA”) Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) and Repair procedures.
1. Standard Hardware Warranty Policy
The length of a warranty term may differ between product models. For details, please see the specific warranty for your product.
2. Tech Support Contacts
If your product exhibits signs of failure, you must contact our Customer Support department to verify product failure. If the CA Customer Support Representative cannot correct the problem by remote support methods i.e. phone or email support and determines that the problem is the result of product failure covered under CA’s warranty policy, then an RMA Number will be issued.
CA Support Phone: +1 800-211-1256
CA Support Email: support@chargeanywhere.com
3. RMA Information
The following information is required to assign an RMA.
- Reseller information — where the item was purchased (if applicable)

- Product Model or Part Number
- Product Serial Number

- Description of Failure or Problem
4. RMA Confirmation
Requests for RMA are typically processed during the working day, between 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM EST. RMA Confirmation will be accomplished by e-mail. CA technical support will send the RMA application form to the customer and the customer will fill out the form and send it back to CA technical support. The RMA Confirmation is an RMA form with the assigned RMA number. This form must be put in the packaging when the product is returned.
5. RMA Return Shipment
5.1. Packaging
The original packaging should be used if available to minimize the potential for shipment damage.
If items are damaged during return shipment due to insufficient packaging, it will be left to CA’s discretion to determine whether or not the product is repairable.
Please follow these guidelines when returning the product to CA:
- Use the product’s original packaging if still available
- Ship the RMA items via traceable means to the below address
- Write the RMA number on at least two (2) outside surfaces of each return package
- Write the RMA number on the Air Waybill or Shipper
- Allow four (4) weeks Turn-Around-Time after receipt of RMA by CA
We will charge $25.00 to replace any missing components or packaging for each RMA unit under warranty.

The customer is responsible for the product until it is received by CA. CA is liable for the returned item upon the receipt of shipment.
5.4. Delivery Charges

No expedited repair or shipment fees will be charged to the customer. Replacement items will be shipped via UPS Second-day for domestic customers or DHL International Priority for international customers.
7. RMA Repair and Test Procedures
All items returned under an RMA will be repaired or at CA’s option replaced with either new or factory-refurbished parts. If a returned product is determined to be damaged or misused, it will be handled according to the out-of-warranty policy below.
All repaired or replacement parts will have successfully passed the appropriate manufacturing quality assurance test procedures. These are the same tests that are utilized to verify “new build” parts as manufactured by CA.
Out-of-Warranty repaired items carry a ninety (90) day warranty. In-Warranty repaired items are warranted for the remainder of the original warranty or ninety (90) days, whichever expires later.
8. RMA Closing Procedure
If CA has not received the RMA requested items from the customer within thirty (30) days of the RMA assignment date, the RMA will be closed.
CA will not accept any packages without an open, valid RMA number appearing on at least 1 surface on the box/packaging and reference to the RMA number on the shipper or air waybill.
Only the specific items listed on the RMA will be accepted. All other items will be returned to the customer at the customer’s expense. After the return shipment of a repaired/replacement part to the customer, CA will close the RMA.
9. RMA Out-of-Warranty
A product whose warranty period has expired, or which has been damaged or misused may be determined to be out-of-warranty. If your product is determined to be out-of-warranty, the following guidelines are applied.
9.1. Repair or Replacement
At CA’s option, an out-of-warranty product may be repaired or replaced with new or refurbished parts for a fee. Products that have been damaged or misused may be deemed non-repairable at CA’s determination. Out-of-warranty repaired or replaced items carry a 90-day warranty. All shipping costs for out-of-warranty repaired and/or replaced items are the responsibility of the customer.
