2. Shipping Freight
I. Please first check the integrity of the product to repair when sending it back to Zippy, and please ensure that the package of the product itself is able to withstand the impacts during transportation. If the product to repair is incomplete or damaged due to poor packaging, the RMA center will charge you related fees depending on actual circumstances.
II. Please write the RMA no. assigned to you on the packaging of the product and the attached document; and please fill in your address accurately in the e-RMA system after sending the product so that both parties can accurately identify the shipping progress of the product. (Sending information: Consign method such as UPS or DHL etc., consign order number, number of boxes etc.) The sender will be held responsible for the freight if the product was miss-sent or returned due to insufficient information provided by the sender.

IV. RMA centers in the U.S. are only responsible for domestic freight; RMA customers please provide your UPS/DHL account for return shipping.
3. Maintenance Fees
I. Fee calculation method: Fees may be different due to the different reasons for malfunction and the different negotiated prices between the RMA centers and the customer; please contact the Zippy RMA location closest to you for details.
II. In order to avoid aged components causing burden to the system and to reduce the freight paid by both parties, starting from today we will no longer provide repair services for products that have a manufactured date of over 5 years; please contact a Zippy sales representative to purchase new replacement products directly. Exceptions will only be based on the agreement between the local RMA center and the customer.
III.When the product to repair reaches the RMA center, function tests can only be performed and parts can only be replaced according to the standard of actual product received and may not be able to be fully replaced with the standards of a new product (such as iron brackets and screws etc.); please note that there may be fees required if the customer demands to have all accessories filled. If any non-Zippy products or non-related attachments are sent back along with the product, please include a detailed list of these items; Zippy is not responsible for the safekeeping and returning of any items that are not clearly listed.
IV.If the RMA center is not able to contact the customer at the contact information provided after giving the quoted price or repair, the customer must agree to automatically waiver the repaired product after one month and Zippy will have the right to dispose of the repaired product on its own.
3. During Maintenance
If there are no special situations such as special damages or shortage of materials etc., the RMA center will finish processing and return the product to you within 14 working days (not including holidays); the RMA center will actively contact you for confirmation if there are other exceptions.
