DOA
"Dead On Arrival" applies when a product appears to be defective on delivery. Even though all our products are tested before shipment, damage during transport can occur. This DOA procedure does not apply to consumables like cartridges, optical media and packaging materials. In case of an DOA the defective product can be exchanged for a new product, or the defective product can be credited. A DOA needs to be registered at the Virtual Vision Support Department within 5 working days after delivery. Any DOA claims outside this period will be processed under the warranty conditions. DOA claims can only be accepted when products are returned unused, complete, including all accessories and including the original packaging. For returning DOA products, please follow our RMA procedure. Shipping costs in case of an authorized DOA will be covered by Virtual Vision.
