General Product Limited Warranty
ITC Incorporated under its corporate name (collectively hereafter referred to as the “Company”) warrants, to the original purchaser, that the product will be free of defects in materials and/or workmanship for the period of time set forth herein.

LED replacement bulbs including but not limited to MR16 & MR11 fixtures are warranted for one year when used without an ITC power supply. All products within the Compel series will have a five-year warranty.
MAXIMUM LIABILITY The Company’s liability to repair or replace a damaged item shall be limited to the original purchaser of the item, or in the event product is purchased by an authorized distributor, limited warranty may be transferred to subsequent purchasers as long as parts are resold in new condition, at the original invoice price of the damaged unit. Labor and freight will not be included in INSPECTION. The Company reserves the right to review the damaged product and the site where the damage occurred. The Company may require the purchaser to ship the item to the Company for inspection. The damaged item must remain available for inspection until the claim is finalized. In the event the Company requests to inspect the product, it agrees to dispatch its findings pertaining to the alleged defective product within 45 days of receiving the product. Whenever claims are settled, the Company reserves the right to be subrogated under any existing insurance policies the purchaser may have.
EVENTS THAT VOID WARRANTY All above warranties are null and void if any one or more of the following events occurs: (a) the item is not provided to ITC for inspection upon the Company’s request; (b) the Company determines that the item has been improperly installed, altered in any way or tampered with; (c) the Company determines that the item was not used under normal operating conditions or in accordance with labels or instructions for the item including, (d) the Company determines the product was not properly maintained, and/or; e) the Company determines that an unauthorized repair, modification, disassembly, or other changes to the product created the alleged defect. In addition to the foregoing, this Warranty does not protect against damage to the product when the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that the damage resulted from acts of God such as lightning, flood, earthquake, war, vandalism, theft, normal-use wear and tear, terrorism, strikes, and labor stoppages. This warranty specifically excludes damage, deterioration or discoloration caused by sunlight or similar ultraviolet rays and/or wavelengths and/or dents, holes or scratches to the unit caused by stones, rocks and/or debris.

LIMITATION ON LIABILITY In no event shall the Company or any affiliate of the Company be liable for direct, indirect, special, incidental, consequential, or multiple damages arising out of the use of the item, regardless of the legal theory on which such claim is based, even if the Company has been advised of the possibility of such damage. Consequential damages shall include, but are not limited to loss of profits, loss of savings or revenue.
(1) Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not be applicable.
ITC Return Policy
1. The Company will not accept returns for product found defective at the distributor or returned by a dealer or customer as a warranty claim without a Return Materials Authorization (RMA). Customers should contact our Customer Service Department (Phone 616-396-1355 or Fax 616-394-5881 or Email: returns@itc-us.com) to obtain a Return Materials Authorization (RMA) prior to sending product back to the Company
2. All correspondence and credits pertaining to the alleged non-conforming product will reference the RMA number. If your company uses its own return goods numbering system, the Company will make every effort to include both reference numbers on the Company 's RMA. All returns must be accommodated by our RMA number or they will not be processed. If product is received without our RMA number written on the outside of the carton, it will be refused upon receipt. All customers have 90 days to return product or the RMA will be voided.
3. The Company will reimburse a customer for credit on returned parts that are determined defective by the Company. Credit is entered based on the purchase price at time of original sale. The Company will not credit customers for unauthorized Dealer mark-ups or customer mark-up fees, and will reimburse only legally required dealer charge backs on replacement costs and service fees subject to the flat rate schedule allowable for the returned defective part. The Company will not issue credit for parts that were damaged or inappropriately handled by customer. Alterations to the Company’s part will invalidate the warranty.
4. To preserve your claim, please securely package all parts before shipping to the Company. All claims are reviewed by the Company's Quality Department to determine the validity of the claim. Poorly packaged returns may limit or void your claim.
5. Invalid returned parts (non-Company parts) shall be held for 15 days maximum, then destroyed or returned at customer's expense, the Company will notify customer accordingly. Repeated submission of invalid parts will warrant the Company charging the offending customer a handling fee. If a part is damaged or lost during transit, customer is responsible for directing a claim to the courier service, not the Company.
6. The Company is not responsible for freight charges for parts that the customer has ordered in error or for parts that are found not defective.
7. A 25% or $75.00 (whichever is greater) restocking fee will be invoiced or deducted from the return credit for parts (except mirrors) that are not defective, or parts ordered in error, provided return is requested within 180 days of original delivery. A 50% restocking fee will be invoiced for any non-defective mirrors. After the 180-day period from delivery has expired, non-defective parts, including mirrors, are non-returnable for reimbursement of any kind. Non-defective parts must be returned within 30 days of authorization.
8. If a scrap credit is authorized by the Company, we will issue an RGA number and apply the credit to the customer's account without inspecting the product or having it returned to the Company.
