  2. Do not use packing peanuts or newspaper to wrap up product within packaging containers.
  3. Topcon is not liable for damages incurred during shipment. For this reason, we recommend that you insure the product.
  4. Customer must indicate the RMA number on the outside of the shipping container on the shipping label. It may be refused and sent back to the customer if the RMA number is not clearly visible or is invalid. To obtain an authorized RMA and label, please call customer support at 866-922-6278.

Repair Turnaround

Topcon will make its best effort to repair the product within a reasonable amount of time after receiving (on average less than fifteen (15) business days after receiving customer approval). This is subject to part availability. This will only vary if discrepancies are found upon receipt (i.e. incorrect RMA, incorrect items shipped, incorrect serial numbers, parts hold, or a need for a third party repair service and/or parts). Customer Service will contact the customer if the repair extends beyond a reasonable turnaround time.

Customer Loaner Guidelines
  1. Approval & Payment. Upon approval of a service or repair order, Topcon shall issue Customer a loaner instrument if requested for the duration of the repair period. If a service or repair order is not covered by an existing warranty, Topcon shall charge Customer a usage fee for the Loaner. This fee will be indicated on the final repair invoice sent to Customer.
  2. Shipping & Delivery. In all cases, Topcon shall arrange for shipping and delivery of the Loaner to Customer’s location. If a service or repair order is covered by warranty, Topcon shall be responsible for all shipping and handling costs, including the costs of return shipment. If a service or repair is not covered by warranty, Customer shall be responsible for all shipping and handling costs, including the costs of return shipment.
  3. Damage to Loaner. During the Loaner Period, Customer shall immediately notify Topcon of any damage to the Loaner (accidental or otherwise). If Customer is responsible for this damage, Customer shall reimburse Topcon for the cost of any repairs or replacement. If Topcon is responsible, Topcon shall repair or replace the Loaner free of charge.
  4. Returns. Upon receipt of a repaired unit from Topcon, Customer shall immediately contact Topcon and ask Topcon to arrange for the return shipment of the Loaner. If Customer does not contact Topcon within 10 business days following receipt of a repaired unit, Customer will be charged $150.00 for every business day that the Loaner remains at Customer’s location. If Customer does not contact Topcon within 60 business days following receipt of a repaired unit, Customer will be charged for the current list price of the Loaner.
  5. Packing & Insurance. Topcon shall provide Customer instructions for packing the Loaner prior to return shipment. If Customer fails to follow these instructions, Customer shall be liable for any damage that occurs to Loaner during transit. Customer shall also maintain adequate liability insurance to cover the full replacement value of the Loaner if necessary.
