The products must be returned to the address stated on the RMA.
If possible, the products must be returned in the original primary and secondary packaging. The products need to be appropriately packaged, protected against damages during transport (e. g. by air cushions, bubble foil, styrofoam), the packet must be labelled with the RMA code and “fragile” pictogram visible on the outer side, and enclosed with the RMA form.
The costs associated with the return to the pickup location or shipping costs shall be entirely borne by the customer.

3.2.3. Rejection of Returns for Convenience
EK Cooling Solutions has the right to reject returns for convenience not announced or returned timely, returns without a Return Merchandise Authorisation (RMA), returns dispatched to the wrong address, returns not packed and labelled, or enclosed with all required documentation as stipulated herein, or returns containing products not meeting the required condition.

3.2.4. Refund of the Purchase Price, Deduction of the Diminished Value
For products eligible for return, EK Cooling Solutions will refund the purchase price and the initial delivery costs (including all extra tax, import, customs clearance and other associated costs, if applicable) within 14 days upon reception of the products, or after the reception of proof of dispatch of the products back to EK Cooling Solutions, whatever is earlier. In case the customer opted for a premium delivery option when placing the order, only the standard delivery costs will be reimbursed. In case only some Products from the order are returned, only the delivery costs pertaining to the returned Products will be reimbursed. If the delivery costs pertaining to the returned Products cannot be separated or would be the same even if the initial delivery did not include the returned Products, no delivery costs will be reimbursed.
The refund will be effected at the cost of EK Cooling Solutions via the same means of payment as used when the order had been placed, unless mutually agreed otherwise.
The customer is responsible and liable for the diminished value of the products in the following cases:
- The product arrives to EK Cooling Solutions damaged and the damage was incurred after the initial delivery to the customer, irrespective of the reason (i. e. caused by the customer or during the transportation back to EK Cooling Solutions).
- Opened primary packaging or wrappings of individual parts within the primary packaging.
- Signs of installation, use, filling with cooling or cleaning medium of the product (as applicable).
- Any other state of the primary packaging, the product or its individual parts caused by the conduct of the customer exceeding the necessary inspection to establish the nature, properties or functioning of the product in a way comparable with the inspection possible in a brick-and-mortar shop.
EK Cooling Solutions is entitled to set-off, withhold and deduct from the refund amount reasonable costs incurred due to the diminished value of the products as set forth above. Such costs include e. g. the costs of substituting any missing product parts, repairs, cleaning, repackaging. Please note that the efforts needed to restore the used Products to factory state or the objective inability to do so may render the returned products unfit for further merchantability. In such cases, the diminished value may in the worst scenario represent the entire purchase price of the Product.
EK Cooling Solutions will inform the customer of the deduction amount and the reasons for the deduction before the refund is made.

Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, any implied warranty of satisfactory quality or fitness for a particular purpose applying to Products or Software is limited in duration to the duration of the warranty specified above. Some countries do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental, consequential, or specified other damages, or allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply, or may not fully apply to you.
3.8. RMA Procedure
You can start RMA procedure through your web shop account under My returns, where you can choose the Product(s) you want to return and the reasons for return in the drop-down menu. In case you placed an order without creating a web shop account (as a guest), you will have to create a web shop account before starting RMA procedure and manually enter the Product(s) to which your claim is related.
Please follow the RMA instructions below:
- Print out the RMA document.
- Scan or take a photo of the filled-out RMA document and attach it to the portal as requested.
- Securely pack the device(s), preferably in original packing and mark the package with the provided RMA number. Include the RMA document in the package.
- Print out and affix the shipping label to the package.
- Send the package to the address stated on the shipping label.
EK Cooling Solutions reserves the right to reject returns not requested timely, returns without a Return Merchandise Authorisation (RMA), returns to the wrong address, returns not packed and labelled, or enclosed with all required documentation as stipulated herein, or returns containing products not meeting the required condition.
3.8.1. Returns
All returns must be returned to the address indicated on the RMA form or shipping label. Returns that don’t qualify for defect liability or warranty coverage will be repaired and/or returned to customers at their own costs. Your purchase of any Product is governed by the limited warranty provided with that Product. Product needs to be returned in 14 days after RMA is approved by EK Cooling Solutions. In contrary EK Cooling Solutions is not obliged to fulfil its obligations under RMA Procedure.
3.8.2. Shipping of Returned Products to EK Cooling Solutions
The costs associated with the return shipping in case of returns for convenience shall be entirely borne by the customer.
EKCS will cover the possible costs from EKCS to EKCS’s service center and back to EKCS, as well as the shipping costs for the delivery of repaired or replaced products back to you.
All shipped packages from EKCS are fully insured. If you receive a damaged package, you must notify us immediately by e-mail (link: [email protected]). Sending back damaged merchandise voids the shipping insurance and no credit will therefore be given. Damaged packages must be held for seven calendar days with original packaging for courier's company inspection. We will send you new Products free of any expenses.
Please ship the return package using a carrier that provides a tracking number and proof of delivery. We recommend DHL, UPS, or FedEx. EKWB will not be responsible for items lost by the carrier, but will help you resolve the issue with the delivery courier. Valid proof of delivery must include the receipt signature of an authorized EKWB employee.
