Service Out Of Warranty: If the warranty period for your xPower1500 has
expired, if the unit was damaged due to misuse, incorrect installation or if
other conditions of the warranty have not been met, or if no dated proof of
purchase is available, your unit may be serviced/replaced for a minimum flat
fee of $235.00 U.S. ($350.00 CDN). To return your xPower1500 for out of
warranty service, contact Xantrex customer service for a Return Material
Authorization (RMA) number and follow the other steps outlined in the
section “How Do You Get Service?” above. The customer service
representative will explain options for payment (e.g. credit card or money
order). In cases where the minimum flat fee does not apply (e.g. incomplete
units or units with excessive damage), an additional fee will be charged. If
applicable, you will be contacted by customer service once your unit is
received. The minimum flat fee is subject to change without notice.
