How To Make A Warranty Claim
Warranty claims must be made directly to BioLite. All returned Products must be returned within the Limited Warranty Period and include a BioLite-issued RMA (Return Materials Authorization) number. To obtain an RMA number, an RMA form must be submitted directly to BioLite’s customer service department during the Limited Warranty Period explaining the defect in the Product. You can obtain an RMA form by e-mailing support@bioliteenergy.com (and including in the subject line: Warranty Claim). You must include the original or copy of a sales receipt for the returned product. Incomplete returns will not be accepted. Once BioLite receives your returned Product, BioLite will evaluate your claim (typically within 7-10 business days) to determine whether the returned Product does not conform to this limited warranty. If BioLite determines that there is no trouble found with your returned Product or the returned Product is not eligible for warranty service, BioLite will ship the Product back to you, at BioLite’s expense. If BioLite determines that there is a warranted defect in the Product, BioLite will, at its option, remedy the defect as set forth below in this limited warranty. BioLite is not liable for Products that are damaged or lost in transit to BioLite. We recommend that you ship your returned products to BioLite via a trackable shipment method. You are responsible for customs fees, including, but not limited to, taxes, duties and brokerage.
