RMA numbers should be clearly displayed on the outside of the shipping packaging. Do not deface the manufacturers packaging. Packages not clearly displaying a valid RMA number will be refused by Elara.
Unwanted or unsuitable products may be cancelled and returned to Elara within 7 working, starting the day after receipt of goods, inline with the "Distance Selling Directive" as long as the goods are in a resalable condition and the packaging remains in an ‘as new’ state. In such cases standard RMA procedures still apply. Goods must be returned at your own expense. Please note that this option is only available for home users, NOT business users.

Goods faulty within the warrenty period but after 14 days since receipt are entitled to a warranty repair. Some manufacturers require that the end user contact them directly regarding faulty products, and not the retailer. In such cases please contact Elara and we will be happy to supply you with the manufacturer's contact details. Please note that your statutory rights are not affected, if you are having problems contacting/dealing with the manufacturer, we will be happy to do it for you however please bear in mind that it usually takes up to 6 weeks for us to process a warranty repair due to additional process steps. The quickest route is usually always for customers to contact the manufacturer directly. Elara Online does not have an in-house repair department.

**Important note on LCD Screens. **
LCD displays are made up of a set number of pixels and each pixel is made from 3 sub pixels; one Red, one Blue and one Green. Every sub-pixel is addressed by its own transistor and so the manufacture of a glass substrate is very complex. Due to the nature of the manufacturing process, occasional defects can occur. Pixel defects or failures cannot be fixed or repaired and can happen at any stage in the LCD’s life. To regulate the acceptability of defects and to protect the end user, ISO have created a standard for manufacturers to follow. ISO 13406-2 recommends how many defaults are acceptable in a display before it should be replaced, within the terms & conditions of warranty. All reputable manufacturers conform to and support the ISO 13406-2 standard.
**Please check the accepted tolerances on manufacturer sites before returning TFT's due to dead pixels as accepted tolerances will not be regarded as faulty.
**Kingston Memory Lifetime Warranty and seal. **
** Once the Kingston seal has been broken, memory cannot be returned. Please use our Memory Configurator to select the correct memory for your motherboard/PC/Server/laptop.
Kingston Lifetime Warranties denotes 10 years i.e lifetime of memory - Link to Kingston Warranty Page
