However, if this is not possible, Ridge reserves the right, at it's absolute discretion, to repair or offer replacement product of equal, or better performance or capabilities and/or condition, from the same manufacturer. Further, although a return authorisation does not constitute acceptance of goods for the purpose of a Credit Note, Ridge reserves the right to issue same in exceptional circumstances.

Warranty returns will not be processed, unless accompanied by a Return Authorisation (RA) number. To obtain a Return Authorisation number you can apply by calling our Head Office Technical Support hotline on (+613) (03) 9735 1888 or preferably by fax on (+613) (03) 9735 1888 or email to info@ridge.com.au

On verification that all warranty return conditions are in accordance with the terms and conditions of the manufacturer/supplier warranty provisions, our RA Department will fax the appropriate return authorisation number, which MUST accompany the goods. A copy of the original invoice must also accompany the goods. Ridge accepts no responsibility for goods found to be incompatible with new releases of software which are / were not available at the time of purchase.

Goods must be received by our central RA warehouse in Victoria within ten (10) working days of issuance of return authorisation number or RA request may be cancelled.

To assist our Technical staff in processing warranty returns in a timely manner, a full fault description must be returned with each faulty product to enable our technical staff to undertake effective testing, further, all goods must be complete, i.e. include original packaging if possible, anti static bag, all manuals and drivers, etc. If these items do not accompany product returns or if attachments are found to be damaged we may be unable to validate your claim and goods will be returned to your usual business address at your expense.

Ridge will only replace faulty goods initially supplied by Ridge under relevant manufacturer warranty provisions, or Ridge will make arrangements with the authorised repair centre of the original manufacturer to have the product repaired or replaced.

Warranty replacements will only be issued on verification, by Ridge staff, that the product is faulty.

It is the customer's sole responsibility to pay freight charges, both ways, for the return of faulty goods to Ridge.

CREDIT RETURN POLICY:-
Credits will only be considered if requested prior to the expiry of fourteen (14) days from invoice date and will, at a minimum, attract a Restocking fee of 15% of the original invoice value, plus any freight charges shown thereon, providing that the goods have not been used, damaged or rendered unsaleable in any way. Ridge CANNOT accept credit returns on opened Software and such goods or software licenses will be returned to the customer.

On request of consideration of a credit return, our Returns Authorisation (RA) Department will forward the Credit Request form (sample document enclosed), which must be completed, signed and returned via our RA Department fax number. Return form is to be signed by product manager and/or sales manager.

On verification that all credit return conditions have been met and approved internally, our RA Department will fax the appropriate return authorisation number, which MUST accompany the goods. A copy of the original invoice must accompany the goods returned and the goods must be in original, undamaged, packaging and complete with all supplied accessories.
