NFORMATION

(See Vaddio Warranty, Service and Return Policies posted on vaddio.com for complete details): 
 

Hardware* Warranty:  

One year limited warranty on all parts. Vaddio warrants this product against defects in materials and 

workmanship for a period of one year from the day of purchase from Vaddio.  If Vaddio receives notice of such defects during 
the warranty period, they will, at their option, repair or replace products that prove to be defective.  Please see Vaddio’s 
Service Terms and Conditions at vaddio.com for specific details and policies. 
 

Exclusions

:  The above warranty shall not apply to defects resulting from: improper or inadequate maintenance by the 

customer, customer applied software or interfacing, unauthorized modifications or misuse, operation outside the normal 
environmental specifications for the product, use of the incorrect power supply, improper extension of the power supply cable 
or improper site operation and maintenance.  
 

Vaddio Customer Service: 

 Vaddio will test, repair, or replace the product or products without charge if the unit is under 

warranty and is found to be defective. If the product is out of warranty, Vaddio will test then repair the product or products. The 
cost of parts and labor charge will be estimated by a technician and confirmed by the customer prior to repair. All components 
must be returned for testing as a complete unit. Vaddio will not accept responsibility for shipment after it has left the premises.  
 

Vaddio Technical Support:  

Vaddio technicians will determine and discuss with the customer the criteria for repair costs 

and/or replacement. Vaddio Technical Support can be contacted through one of the following resources: e-mail support at 

[email protected] 

or online at 

www.vaddio.com

.  

 

Return Material Authorization (RMA) Number:  

Before returning a product for repair or replacement, request an RMA from 

Vaddio’s technical support team. Provide a technician with a return phone number, e-mail address, shipping address, and 
product serial numbers and describe the reason for repairs or returns as well as the date of purchase and proof of purchase.  
Include your assigned RMA number in all correspondence with Vaddio.  Write your assigned RMA number on the outside of 
the box when returning the product.  All products returned for credit are subject to a restocking charge without exception.  
 

Voided Warranty:  

The warranty does not apply if the original serial number has been removed or if the product has been 

disassembled or damaged through misuse, accident, modifications, or unauthorized repair.  Cutting the power supply cable on 
the secondary side (low voltage side) to extend the power to the device (camera or controller) voids the warranty for that 
device.  
 

Shipping and Handling:  

Vaddio will not pay for inbound shipping transportation or insurance charges or accept any 

responsibility for laws and ordinances from inbound transit. Vaddio will pay for outbound shipping, transportation, and 
insurance charges for all items under warranty but will not assume responsibility for loss and/or damage by the outbound 
freight carrier.  
• If the return shipment appears damaged, retain the original boxes and packing material for inspection by the carrier.  Contact 
your carrier immediately. 
 

Products Not Under Warranty: 

 Payment arrangements are required before outbound shipment for all out of warranty 

products.  

 
*Vaddio manufactures its hardware products from parts and components that are new or equivalent to new in accordance with industry standard practices.
