ELATION. It is the Customer’s responsibility to provide product proof of purchase and serial number by
acceptable evidence such as an invoice copy or an approved ELATION Extended Warranty Certificate

mounting hardware, etc.), must be boxed using the original and/or suitable packaging materials (double-

of the problem and the RMA number must be documented and included in the box.

warranty service, which are received damaged due to inadequate and/or improper packaging and/or due
to damage caused by shipping carrier, may incur additional repair charges before warranty service begins
