For Failure Analysis Returns
TOPTICA EAGLEYARD offers a RMA service free of charge for all products which are covered under warranty.
Please DO NOT return the failed part before TOPTICA EAGLEYARD has issued a valid RMA number together with instructions for proper device return. Our Goods Receiving Department is not able to accept deliveries that do not have such a valid RMA number. In case you purchased through an authorized distributor please contact this party directly who will assist you.
Our return policy is to replace the failed part as soon as the failure analysis is completed. As a matter of course TOPTICA EAGLEYARD provides the replacement free of charge except where the damage was caused by mishandling or modification (e.g. operation exceeding the maximum ratings, change of connector, opening of housings).
For out-of-warranty products TOPTICA EAGLEYARD offers a failure analysis subject to a charge of EUR 500 plus shipping costs at the customers’ expense. The analysis includes a visual inspection and complete electro-optical characterization in accordance to the mandatory final outgoing test. Please note that these results do not necessarily allow a clear identification of the root cause. Further necessary analysis procedures can be jointly agreed between the customer and TOPTICA EAGLEYARD. You should follow the same process of obtaining a RMA number for your out-of-warranty product as you would for a product with an effective warranty. In this case please place a separate order upfront stating the proper amount and referring to the serial number of the device.

Please write the RMA number clearly visible on the outside of the package. Returns without a valid RMA number cannot be accepted by TOPTICA EAGLEYARD’s Goods Receiving Department.
Please provide a proper documentation for clearance by Customs in order to avoid any additional payments being charged to the sender.
