How to get the limited warranty

  1. Please contact Magewell support team by email (support@magewell.net) first to make sure whether your problem can only be solved by returning to Magewell for repair. Magewell might ask you to take photos of the front and back of the defective products.
  2. Magewell will issue an RMA letter to you if it is confirmed that you need to return the faulty product for further examination or repair. Please fill in the RMA with necessary information required as below:

If it is regular repair, you will be responsible for the shipping cost, duties and insurance cost (if applicable); if the product is DOA, Magewell will be responsible for the shipping cost.

Pay attention to the following before returning the products:

  1. If some components need to be replaced, Magewell will decide to repair, renovate or replace the components by itself. Magewell may use new or repaired component to repair the product. The repaired product can work normally and the performance can remain the same. Repaired products can work in a good working condition and at least functions are the same as part of the original unit. The original replaced component will become property of Magewell and components which are replaced for the client will become his/her property.
  2. If the product is within warranty, Magewell will repair or replace the faulty units at its own options. In the circumstances where the faulty unit is replaced by another one, Magewell may use new, repaired or renovated units. The faulty unit will then become the property of Magewell while the replacement unit will become the property of the purchaser.
  3. If the warranty expires, Magewell will inform the purchaser whether the products can be repaired and the maintenance costs they need to pay. If purchasers decide to repair, Magewell will repair, renovate, or replace the components after receiving the maintenance costs. If purchasers give up repairing, Magewell will dispose the faulty unit at the purchaser’s option.
  4. The repaired or replaced product assumes 1) the remaining term of the Warranty of the replaced unit or faulty unit; 2) ninety (90) days from the date of replacement or repair, whichever provides longer coverage for you. The extended warranty is only valid for repaired/replaced components.
