If a replacement product or part is supplied to you in advance of Performance Plus PC receiving the defective product or part, the technician will ask for your American Express, VISA or MasterCard account information, including account number and expiration date to secure the return of the defective product or part. You are financially responsible for the return of the defective product or part and will be charged the original sales value and a restocking fee for the replacement product, once the R.A. Number has been issued and the replacement part is shipped from Performance Plus PC. The defective product or part must be received in the factory within fifteen (15) days in order to allow for one hundred (100) percent credit back to you. The defective product should be shipped to us freight prepaid and insured using the original box and packing materials (or equivalent packaging obtained from Performance Plus PC).
