FRONTSTEPS Hardware Warranty Policy

This page outlines the warranty information for hardware products sold by FRONTSTEPS. Please refer to this with any questions regarding product warranties.

FRONTSTEPS reserves the right to determine whether a product qualifies for a warranty replacement. If it is decided that the returned product is excluded from warranty coverage, FRONTSTEPS will invoice the customer for the replacement.

FRONTSTEPS will notify the customers within (90) days, beginning at the time of issuance of the RMA, if the warranty request has been rejected. The notification will include reasoning for the rejection, as well as an invoice for the replacement item.

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

1. Customer pays for the defective 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.
