Upon contacting Tiertime, you will be required to engage in a remote diagnosis session with the technical support agent to help determine the cause of your issue. Remote diagnosis may involve customer access to the inside of

A replacement part or Tiertime Product assumes the remaining term of the Warranty or ninety (90) days from the date of replacement or repair, whichever provides longer coverage for you. When a Tiertime Product or part is replaced or a refund provided, any replacement item becomes your property and the replaced or refunded item becomes Tiertime’s property.

WARRANTY SERVICE OPTIONS

Tiertime will provide warranty service through one or more of the following options:

(i) Do-it-yourself (DIY) parts service.
DIY parts service allows you to service your own Tiertime Product. If DIY parts service is available in the circumstances, the following process will apply.
(a) Service where Tiertime requires return of the replaced Tiertime Product or part.
Tiertime may require a credit card authorization as security for the retail price of the replacement Tiertime Product or part and applicable shipping costs. If you are unable to provide credit card authorization, DIY parts service may
not be available to you and Tiertime will offer alternative arrangements for service. Tiertime will ship a replacement Tiertime Product or part to you with installation instructions, if applicable, and any requirements for the return of the replaced Tiertime Product or part. If you follow the instructions, you will not be charged for the Tiertime Product or part shipping to your location, but you still need to pay the shipping cost from your location. If you fail to return the replaced Tiertime Product or part as instructed or return a replaced Tiertime Product or part that is ineligible for service, Tiertime will charge your credit card for the authorized amount.
(b) Service where Tiertime does not require return of the replaced Tiertime Product or part.
Tiertime will ship you free of charge a replacement Tiertime Product or part accompanied by instructions on installation, if applicable, and any requirements for the disposal of the replaced Tiertime Product or part.

(ii) Carry-in service.
You may return your Tiertime Product to a TASP location offering carry-in service. Service will be performed at the location, or a TASP may send your Tiertime Product to a Tiertime Repair Service (“TRS”) location to be serviced. Once you are notified that service is complete, you can promptly retrieve the Tiertime Product from the TASP location.

(ii) Mail-in service.
If Tiertime determines that your Tiertime Product is eligible for mail-in service, Tiertime will issue a Return Material Authorization (RMA) Number which you must include with your returned product(s), and send you the instruction so that you may ship your Tiertime Product to an TRS or TASP location in accordance with Tiertime’s instructions. Tiertime may require a credit card authorization as security for the retail price of the replacement, labor, and shipping cost. You must return the Product or Spare Part to Tiertime, TASP, or TRS in their original or equivalent packaging, prepay shipping charges and insure the shipment or accept the risk if the Equipment or Spare Part is lost or damaged in shipment. Once service is complete, the TRS or TASP location will return the Tiertime Product to you. Tiertime will pay for shipping to your location if all instructions are followed, and the Product is still within the warranty, otherwise, you will be charged according the service involved. Tiertime reserves the right to change the method by which Tiertime may provide warranty service to you, and your Tiertime Product’s eligibility to receive a particular method of service. Service will be limited to the options available in the country where service is requested. Service options, parts availability and response times may vary according to country. You may be responsible for shipping and handling charges if the Tiertime Product cannot be serviced in the country it is in. If you seek service in a country that is not the original country of purchase, you will comply with all applicable import and export laws and regulations and be responsible for all custom duties, V.A.T. and other associated taxes and charges. Where international service is available, Tiertime may repair or replace Tiertime Products and parts with comparable Tiertime Product and parts that comply with local standards.
