RETURN MERCHANDISE AUTHORIZATION (RMA) PROCEDURE

MVRsimulation Return Policy and RMA procedure for damaged dongles

MVRsimulation will replace a damaged dongle if you return, at a minimum, the electronic circuitry to MVRsimulation along with a MVRsimulation-allocated Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. MVRsimulation will not replace a dongle for which you only return the plastic housing or metallic connector without the corresponding electronic circuitry.

Damaged dongles must be photographed or scanned and the images must be emailed to MVRsimulation before an RMA will be issued. Include in the photo or scan the lot sticker located on the outside of the dongle. In addition to the lot sticker, MVRsimulation may need the ID number of the dongle. Please see our web page on identifying your dongle. (Note: Your IT department may track the dongle ID number.)

Contact rma@mvrsimulation.com to obtain an RMA number.

Return a damaged dongle shipped via a return receipt mechanism such as the U.S. Postal Service delivery confirmation with signature or certified mail return receipt. MVRsimulation charges a nominal shipping/handling fee for replacing a damaged dongle.

6) All installation discs and manuals for all hardware drivers and software applications are required to be with the returned system. Please describe the final configuration of the system, as it should appear. Note, without the return of Microsoft Operating System CDs no replacement of the Windows software can be made.
