Section 6:  Daktronics Exchange and 

Repair & Return Programs

6.1  Exchange Program

The Daktronics Exchange Program is a quick, economical service for replacing key components in need 
of repair. If a component fails, Daktronics sends a replacement part to the customer who, in turn, returns 
the failed component to Daktronics. This not only saves money but also decreases equipment downtime. 
Customers who follow the program guidelines explained below will receive this service.

Before Contacting Daktronics

Fill in these numbers before calling Customer Service:

Display Model Number: ________________________________________

Date Installed: ________________________________________________

Location of Display: ___________________________________________

Daktronics Customer ID Number:  _______________________________

To participate in the Exchange Program, follow these steps:

1. 

Call Daktronics Customer Service: 800-325-8766 to order the exchange part.

2. 

When the new exchange part is received, mail the old part to Daktronics. 
If the replacement part fixes the problem, send in the failed part within 3 weeks of the ship date.

a. 

Package the old part in the same shipping materials in which the replacement part arrived.

b. 

Fill out and attach the enclosed UPS shipping document.

c. 

Ship the part to Daktronics.

3. 

A charge will be made for the replacement part immediately, unless a qualifying service agreement is 
in place.

In most circumstances, the replacement part will be invoiced at the time it is shipped. If the failed part 
or replacement part is not returned to Daktronics within 3 weeks of the ship date, it is assumed that the 
customer is purchasing the replacement part and will be invoiced for the value of the new sale part.

If the part or parts are returned within 2 weeks of the second invoice date, Daktronics will credit the customer 
for the amount of the second invoice. If after 2 weeks Daktronics has still not received the parts back, the 
customer must pay the second invoice and will not be credited for the return of the failed part.

Daktronics reserves the right to refuse parts that have been damaged due to acts of nature or causes other 
than normal wear and tear.

6.2  Repair & Return Program

For items not subject to exchange, Daktronics offers a Repair & Return Program. To send a part for repair,
