Customer Care Form (CCF)

Upon receipt of such notice, if the customer has an account with Adams Rite or a valid credit card, an advance replacement product may be ordered whereby Adams Rite will ship a replacement product to the customer free of charge. If Adams Rite does not receive the original defective product from the customer within 60 days, Adams Rite will charge the customer’s account or credit card for the price of the advanced replacement product plus freight costs. Upon inspection of the returned product by Adams Rite, a decision will be made whether or not to charge the customer for the advanced replacement Adams Rite product.

Return Material Authorizations (RMAs) will be closed if the goods are not received within 60 days of issuance.

If the original Purchase Order number is not available, at Adams Rite’s option a credit may be issued at the customer’s current cost. This decision will be made solely by Adams Rite in accordance with the provisions of these Terms.
