Out-of-warranty service
Patton services what we sell, no matter how you acquired it, including malfunctioning products that are no
longer under warranty. Our products have a flat fee for repairs. Units damaged by lightning or other catastro-
phes may require replacement.
Returns for credit
Customer satisfaction is important to us, therefore any product may be returned with authorization within 30
days from the shipment date for a full credit of the purchase price. If you have ordered the wrong equipment or
you are dissatisfied in any way, please contact us to request an RMA number to accept your return. Patton is
not responsible for equipment returned without a Return Authorization.
Return for credit policy
•
Less than 30 days: No Charge. Your credit will be issued upon receipt and inspection of the equipment.
•
30 to 60 days: We will add a 20% restocking charge (crediting your account with 80% of the purchase price).
•
Over 60 days: Products will be accepted for repairs only.
RMA numbers
RMA numbers are required for all product returns. You can obtain an RMA by doing one of the following:
