This page outlines the return policy for items sold by FRONTSTEPS. Please refer to this first before beginning the return process.

General Return Policy:

To receive a credit on a return, the item(s) must be in UNUSED condition and in the original packaging.  If you are trying to exchange or replace items, please refer to our Warranty Policy for more information.

FRONTSTEPS reserves the right to determine whether a product qualifies for a return. If it is decided that the returned product does not qualify for a refund, FRONTSTEPS will notify the customer within (90) days, beginning at the time of issuance of the RMA, that the request has been rejected. The notification will include reasoning for the rejection, as well as next steps.

The customer has the following options regarding the removal of the returned product:

1. Customer pays for the returned product to be sent back to their facility.

2. Customer allows FRONTSTEPS to dispose of the returned product.

If one of the above options is not communicated to FRONTSTEPS within (30) days of receiving the rejection notification, FRONTSTEPS will dispose of the returned product.

The item(s) being returned MUST be received by FRONTSTEPS on or before the given time period pertaining to the item(s). (See Below)

Please review the Hardware – Return Policy and the Standard Guest Passes – Return Policy below for return time periods. Any item(s) returned after the allotted time will not be credited.

The following costs are associated with each return.

• Restocking Fee – 15% restocking fee will be applied towards item(s) being returned.

• Orders containing 7 or more of the same item(s) that are cancelled are subject to a 20% cancellation fee AND the restocking fee.

• Shipping – Customer pays freight charges back to FRONTSTEPS.

General Return Exceptions:

Products that meet the below criteria CANNOT be returned or CANCELLED.

• Credential Access Device – These are devices that have been programmed specifically for a customer’s community. Examples would include, but are not limited to: key fobs, proximity cards, RFID & UHF vehicle tags, etc. These products are unable to be resold or used by other customers.

  • Note: The above only applies to credential access products that have been ordered incorrectly. If the correct product was ordered and is defective, please contact technical support to troubleshoot the issue.

• Custom made passes – Passes made specifically for a community cannot be returned.

Once the order has been approved by the customer, FRONTSTEPS is unable to process any cancellations. Please follow the link or see below for a list of nonreturnable products. Special Order / Custom Order – Return Policy.

Hardware – Return Policy:

Hardware products are eligible for a return and refund within (90) days of the purchase date.

To qualify for a return the hardware must be in “Brand New”, UNUSED condition. Used products will not be accepted for a credit.

Please refer to the General Returns Policy for return exceptions and fees.

Hardware Deemed Nonreturnable

All returned hardware will be inspected and assessed for damage and usage. If it is determined that the returned hardware has been used and is unable to be resold, FRONTSTEPS will not issue a credit for the hardware. The returned hardware will be sent back to the customer at the customer’s expense or disposed of by FRONTSTEPS.

Standard Guest Passes – Return Policy:

Standard guest passes are eligible for a return and refund within (30) days of the purchase date. However, to receive a credit, the return must meet the following criteria.

• The box must be returned UNOPENED and damage free. If we determine that the box has been opened or damaged, we are unable to process the credit. Please make sure to read the box description carefully before opening.

• The passes MUST be packaged inside of another shipping container. This will mitigate the risk of damage when being shipped back.

Please refer to the General Returns Policy for return exceptions and fees.

Returned Guest Passes that do not meet the above criteria are deemed to be nonreturnable and are not eligible for a refund.

The customer will have the option to pay for the Guest Passes to be shipped back to them, or FRONTSTEPS will dispose of the passes for the customer.

If FRONTSTEPS does not have confirmation from the customer to ship the passes back within (30) days of receiving the return, FRONTSTEPS will dispose of the passes.
