(c) the Customer shall reimburse the Supplier on written demand for any costs or losses sustained or incurred by the Supplier arising directly or indirectly from the Customer Default.

9. Cancellation and Return 

9.1 No Order may be cancelled without the prior written consent of MAK IT SOLUTIONS LIMITED, who reserves the right to require the Customer to pay a restocking fee in such a percentage as shall reasonably be determined by the Company. This fee will be invoiced to the Customer and will be paid under the Customer’s normal credit terms.

9.2 The Customer is entitled to request a return of any Products for any reason within 5 working days from their receipt by the Customer. Any damaged Products must be notified to MAK IT SOLUTIONS LIMITED verbally (and in writing via e-mail or fax) within two working days of receipt. Any items found damaged after this time will not be accepted back for return. As well as a full refund, MAK IT SOLUTIONS LIMITED will also refund any relevant losses involved such as posting or delivery charges if the Products are found to be faulty or were sold incorrectly. If the Customer is returning a faulty item, the Customer must first establish whether or not the Products are in fact faulty. It may well be that the item works perfectly well but does not tie in with the Customer’s system correctly due

to a configuration or set up problem. If the Customer is unsure about any of this, the Customer must contact MAK IT SOLUTIONS LIMITED so that MAK IT SOLUTIONS LIMITED can pass on the relevant manufacturer’s details.

9.3 If the Products are definitely faulty or if they have been shipped in error, the Customer needs to complete the returns form.

9.4 Once MAK IT SOLUTIONS LIMITED have received and validated the Customer’s form, the Customer will be contacted and issued with a returns number (RMA number). This normally takes 1-2 business days but can take longer if any details on the form have been omitted. RMA numbers cannot be issued without MAK IT SOLUTIONS LIMITED’s knowledge of the relevant serial numbers, invoice numbers and dates involved. Customers should note that once issued, RMA numbers will only remain valid for a period of 10 working days. If Products are not returned within this period, the return will be closed. MAK IT SOLUTIONS LIMITED must receive the completed RMA form back within 48 working hours from the time of sending. As soon as the Customer has been issued with an RMA number, the Customer can arrange for the Products to be returned to MAK IT SOLUTIONS LIMITED . MAK IT SOLUTIONS LIMITED cannot accept responsibility for any damage caused in transit, so the Customer must ensure that:

(a) The item(s) are properly packaged. The Customer must ensure that the original packaging is used and must also ensure that the Products are wrapped securely to avoid movement/damage in transit. Items not packaged with a reasonable amount of care will be rejected;

(b) No labels, stickers or any parts have been removed;

(c) The Products have not been defaced, altered, manhandled or subjected to any other form of intentional or careless damage;

(d) All supplied contents; inner and outer packaging, manuals, documentation and accessories must be included;

(e) No writing or markings are made on the packaging as this may affect the ability of MAK IT SOLUTIONS LIMITED to accept the Products back.

9.5 Products are inspected by MAK IT SOLUTIONS LIMITED on arrival and, if appropriate, tested. Where appropriate, replacement item(s) will be shipped. MAK IT SOLUTIONS LIMITED reserves the right to decide whether to issue replacement goods or a credit. Items returned where MAK IT SOLUTIONS LIMITED have arranged collection, and do not conform to these requirements, will be charged according to any damage incurred. MAK IT SOLUTIONS LIMITED will only meet shipping costs for returns in the case of an error on the part of MAK IT SOLUTIONS LIMITED or in cases where the Products are faulty, or were sold incorrectly.

9.6 For account holders, it may be possible to arrange an advance replacement. If the Customer requires replacement Products to be sent to the Customer before MAK IT SOLUTIONS LIMITED receives the returned items, the Customer will be invoiced at the original sales price and MAK IT SOLUTIONS LIMITED will quote the Customer’s original purchase order number on all documentation followed by the reference /R at the end of the PO. Once MAK IT SOLUTIONS LIMITED receives the returned Products, and providing that the above procedure has been complied with, MAK IT SOLUTIONS LIMITED will credit the Customer’s account with the appropriate sale price.

9.7 The return of any Products, whether correctly or incorrectly supplied, or whether faulty or damaged, may only be made with MAK IT SOLUTIONS LIMITED’s prior authorisation. Any attempts to return Products to MAK IT SOLUTIONS LIMITED without following the procedures described above will be rejected.

10. DOA Policy
