A Claim, to be recognized, must (i) identify all deficiencies of all Items in Buyer’s possession in detail, and (ii) be made in writing, within the ninety (90) day period set out above.
Once a Claim is received that meets both criteria set out above, Wolf’s will provide the Buyer with a Return Materials Authorization (“RMA”) Number. Any deficiencies not noted in a particular Claim will not be considered to be part of such Claim or RMA. Please note that deficiencies not part of a particular Claim or RMA may be time barred if attempts are made to include them in a different Claim being made more than ninety (90) days after Buyer’s receipt of the Items in question.
Once an RMA Number is assigned, Wolf’s will notify the Buyer, within a reasonable time, of its determination which will be one or more of the following. Wolf’s may (i) repair all or part of the Items, (ii) replace all or part of the items, or (iii) provide Buyer with a credit for all or part of the Items. In addition, Wolf’s reserves the right to determine that all or part of the Claim is without merit. Wolf’s determination with respect to such RMA shall be conclusive and binding on Buyer. Any standard shipping costs to or from Wolf’s (or any outside vendor for materials or work that may need to be performed) with respect to any Item that Wolf’s determines it will repair or replace will be borne by Wolf’s. Should Buyer request that such repair or replacement be expedited, any excess shipping costs incurred for the above to facilitate such expedition shall be borne by Buyer.
