Returns
All returns must be authorized by Hauppauge Computer Works before they will be accepted.
In order to send in a defective Hauppauge product for warranty service, you MUST contact Hauppauge Computer Works to obtain a Return Material Authorization number (RMA). To obtain an RMA, please contact Tech Support by email techsupport@hauppauge.com or by phone 631-434-3197. Proof of purchase would be required and must fall within the warranty period of 2 years from the purchase date.
Once an RMA# is obtained, you will be given instructions on how to ship the product to Hauppauge Computer Works for service/replacement. All returns must be shipped in a box to avoid damage during shipment, and must have the RMA# assigned to your return clearly marked on the outside of the box. The cost to ship the product back to Hauppauge Computer Works is the responsibility of the customer. Products lost or damaged during transit are not the responsibility of Hauppauge Computer Works. We recommend shipping returns with a trackable shipping method only.
Out Of Warranty Service
A product that falls out of the warranty period and requires service may be sent in for repair. An RMA# must first be obtained by contacting Hauppauge Computer technical support (techsupport@hauppauge.com) or by telephone 631-434-3197. Out of warranty products will incur a repair charge of $35 plus parts plus shipping costs.
