Return Policy

Return Policy

Before returning the product for repair (warranty or non-warranty) a Return Material Authorization
(RMA) number must be obtained from LMI. Please call LMI to obtain this RMA number.

Carefully package the GoMax unit in its original shipping materials (or equivalent) and ship the unit
prepaid to your designated LMI location. Please ensure that the RMA number is clearly written on the
outside of the package. Inside the return shipment, include the address you wish the shipment returned
to, the name, email and telephone number of a technical contact (should we need to discuss this repair),
and details of the nature of the malfunction. For non-warranty repairs, a purchase order for the repair
charges must accompany the returning unit.

LMI Technologies Inc. is not responsible for damages to a unit that are the result of improper packaging
or damage during transit by the courier.
