Dead On Arrival Products – “DOA”
Dead On Arrival Products – “DOA”
A Zone Medical Product is considered DOA if it shows symptoms of a failure, or is discovered to be broken or defective when first taken from its packaging.
A Zone Medical Customer Service Representative will provisionally determine whether the Product is DOA. Where a Product is provisionally determined as DOA we will arrange to provide a full refund or a replacement product, depending on your choice.
Where Zone Medical has provisionally determined that a Product is DOA, return shipping will be arranged at the expense of Zone Medical.
If the Product is deemed by Customer Service NOT to be DOA, and is not covered by a warranty, Zone Medical may refuse to replace the Product or give you a refund for the Product.
When a Product is replaced, your replacement Product becomes your property and the returned DOA Product becomes our property. Replacement Products are provided with the same warranty as the returned Product.
When a refund is given, the returned DOA Product becomes our property.
Dead Soon After Arrival Products – “DSAA”
Dead Soon After Arrival Products – “DSAA”
If you find a defect in a Product within a reasonable time after delivery and before you have used it a lot (14 days as a rule of thumb) you should notify Zone Medical and your claim will be treated in the same way as a DOA product (see “Dead On Arrival Products”).
Later Defect Products – “LD”
Later Defect Products – “LD”
If the Product is not DOA or DSAA and you find that the Product has a defect or a problem within a reasonable time during which it should not have that defect or problem, it is a LD Product.
A reasonable time is the amount of time that is reasonable to expect, given the cost and quality of the item and the amount and type of usage.
Zone Medical passes on any manufactures warranty, usually a standard 1 year warranty on most products. Zone Medical realises that there may be exceptions and understands that a product must be of reasonable quality and fit for purpose. If a customer believes that their Zone Medical product has not given them the value expected within the year after purchase, please contact us for assistance. Zone Medical will then determine whether to organise a repair, make a refund or provide a replacement.
We encourage the notification of claims within 30 days.
Where claims are made more than 30 days after delivery, we will need full details about the way the LD Product has been used and it may be necessary for us to make further inquiries.
When a claim for a LD is made, a Zone Medical Customer Service Representative will provisionally determine whether the Product is LD. Where a Product is provisionally determined as LD we will arrange to organise a repair, provide a replacement product or a refund.
If the Product is deemed by Customer Service NOT to be LD, and is not covered by a warranty, Zone Medical may refuse to replace the Product or give you a refund for the Product.
Where a refund is given for a LD product, it may be given as a Refund Credit to Your Account.
The delivery time for replacing the Product will be the same as stated for the original Product.
Replacement Products are provided with the same warranty as the returned Product.
