4.14 Daktronics Exchange and Repair and Return 

Programs 

To serve customers’ repair and maintenance needs, Daktronics offers both an 
exchange and a repair and return program. The exchange program reduces down time 
by providing timely replacement of key components. This service is provided to 
qualified customers who follow the program guidelines explained below. It is our 
pleasure to provide this service to ensure you get the most from your Daktronics 
products. Please call our Help Desk (1-877 / 605-1113) if you have any questions 
regarding the exchange program or any other Daktronics service. 

 

When you call the Daktronics Help Desk, a trained service technician will work with 
you to solve the equipment problem. You will work together to diagnose the problem 
and determine which exchange replacement part to ship. If, after you make the 
exchange, the equipment still causes problems, please contact our Help Desk 
immediately.  

 

If the replacement part fixes the problem, package the defective part in the same 
packaging the replacement part arrived in, fill out and attach the enclosed UPS 
shipping document, and 

return the part to Daktronics

. You may use the same box 

and packing the exchange part was sent in. This will speed up the transaction and 
alleviate confusion when the failed component arrives at Daktronics. Daktronics 
expects immediate return of the exchange part if it does not solve the problem. For 
most equipment, you will be invoiced for the replacement part at the time it is 
shipped. This invoice is due when you receive it. 
 
Daktronics reserves the right to refuse equipment that has been damaged due to acts 
of nature or causes other than normal wear and tear. 

 

If the defective equipment is not shipped to Daktronics within 30 working days from 
the invoice date, it is assumed you are purchasing the replacement part and you will 
be invoiced for it. This second invoice represents the difference between the 
exchange price and the purchase price of the equipment. This amount is due when 
you receive the second invoice. If you return the exchange equipment after 30 
working days from invoice date, you will be credited for the amount on the second 
invoice minus a restocking fee. 

 
To avoid a restocking charge, please return the defective equipment within 30 
days from the invoice date

 

Daktronics also offers a Repair and Return program for items not subject to 
exchange. 

 

Where to Send:

 To return parts for service, contact your local representative prior to 

shipment to acquire a Return Material Authorization Number (RMA#). If you have 
no local representative, call the Daktronics Help Desk for the RMA#. This will 
expedite the receiving process.
