Sunbound Lighting warranty
Sunbound Lighting values quality, integrity, and reliability. We uphold the highest standards of service and responsibility in the industry, and firmly stand behind the quality and workmanship of every product we produce.
As such, Sunbound Lighting warrants all custom products and accessory products against defects in material and workmanship brought to our attention within FIVE YEARS after purchase. In the event of a defect within the warranty period, the original purchaser must download an RMA Form and send the completed form to Tech Support. The customer agrees to promptly submit a completed RMA form to us, including order number or reference number and detailed pictures. After we’ve reviewed and confirmed the RMA, we will instruct the customer to return the defective product back to our facility and follow the Return Policy.
If you have an item you believe to be faulty, contact Sunbound immediately and request technical or return support. You may be required to provide photos, videos, and/or descriptions of the item(s) not performing properly. It is Sunbound’s goal to troubleshoot thoroughly to eliminate any unnecessary time or hassle on behalf of the customer. Failing to comply and provide the information requested by Sunbound will result in void of warranty.
If a product is deemed faulty by a technician/representative, then a return shipping label and a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) form will be sent out immediately. Once Sunbound receives the product, we will test the item(s) to better understand where the fault in the product(s) lies.
Sunbound will not provide replacement items before the original items have been returned, tested, and deemed faulty. If you need a replacement item while the return process is taking place, then you can request an advanced replacement. An order will be made for repurchase of the items. Once the testing process is complete and assuming the product is faulty, a refund will be issued for the purchase price of the product, including a $10 credit for shipping the item.
If the product is found to be working properly and the error lies in the installation, or with other non-Sunbound products being used, then the product will be returned to the customer via our standard shipping method. If the customer has paid for a replacement item while the return process is being processed and the original product is found to be working properly, then the customer will receive the original product back and no refund.
Buyer’s sole right under this warranty is for repair or replacement of the defective item. This warranty is not transferable and applies only to the original purchaser of such items, provided that products purchased from an authorized Sunbound reseller will also include the above limited warranty. Proof of purchase may be required.
