STEP 2: RETURN MATERIAL AUTHORIZATION (RMA) POLICY

To obtain warranty service, Customer must call 1-844-229-4373 or send an email to support@bewhere.com during the Warranty Period to obtain an RMA number. No warranty service will be provided and no returns will be accepted without an RMA number. RMA must be approved by BeWhere based on initial troubleshooting.

A Return Merchandise Authorization Form will be provided and must be completed by the Customer, returned and accepted by BeWhere prior to shipping.

All Returned items should be labelled “Warranty Return RMA #”, be properly packaged and shipped at Customer’s expense.

In some, cases BeWhere may need to replace or repair the product under warranty. In the event that new unit is to be sent out, we will do so on a 1:1 replace-repair / return policy.

Should no issue be found, the unit will be returned to the customer as is.

Timeline for Return/Repair/Replacement

BeWhere will inform customer when receiving the RMA of expected timelines for investigation, and if a repair, replacement or return as is will be provided. Please note that during certain events such as COVID-19, delays are to be expected due to safety measures requiring staff rotation in BeWhere’s office.

Upon return/repair/replacement, a similar form may be provided to the customer with any changes made to the devices (new SIM, new serial number, etc.).

Advanced Replacement

In order to facilitate the replacement process, BeWhere may agree to ship advanced replacement units. However, replaced devices must be returned to BeWhere within 30 days to complete the RMA. In the event devices are not returned to BeWhere while replaced, the Customer will be billed the cost of the replacements, including hardware and shipping costs and monthly or yearly service associated fees as per the pricing used to purchase the original devices.

Please contact support if any questions.
