To obtain warranty service, you have to return a defective product, freight-prepaid and insured, to Fortasa. You must include product identification information, including model number and serial number (if applicable) with a detailed description of the problem you are experiencing. 

Once you have obtained an RMA number from Fortasa, you must, within thirty (30) days, send the product freight-prepaid and insured to Fortasa. Products shipped to the factory must be properly packaged to prevent damage in transit. You must include the Fortasa RMA number prominently displayed on the outside of your package and on the shipping label only.
