Compatibility Problems
In some cases products don't work fully or correctly together, even though they should do - this does not mean that the products are faulty.
Usually compatibility issues are resolved quickly by the manufacturers concerned providing details of how to get the products working together, or by releasing a firmware update to fix the problem.
Vesternet offer a 30 Day No Quibble Return period (mentioned above) that allows you to return products should they not meet your expectations. Outside this period we do not accept product returns for compatibility reasons. By keeping the product after this period it is deemed that you are accepting of any compatibility issues that may exist at the time of purchase.
Faulty Products
All products are covered against hardware fault.
If you think that your product may be faulty, please contact our Technical Support department before raising a return request. They will help you to diagnose the issue and hopefully be able to resolve the problem for you.
PLEASE NOTE: For faults with controllers our Technical Support department may advise you to contact the manufacturer directly for assistance as often they are in the best position to help. In the event that the controller has a hardware fault the manufacturer will confirm this and authorise a replacement. It is in your best interest to do this because it means that the controller can be accepted immediately for replacement and won't need to be tested first.

- All products returned as faulty will be tested upon receipt to confirm that the reported hardware fault is present. In the event that the product is found to not be faulty, the product will be returned to you as-is, at your cost.
- Confirmed faulty products can be dealt with in several ways depending on when you purchased them:
- Up to 30 days since you received the product - at your choice we will replace the product like-for-like, refund in full or apply a credit to your account.
- Up to 6 months since you received the product - we will arrange for the product to be repaired or replaced like-for-like, we may issue a refund in full or apply a credit to your account, at our discretion.
- After 6 months since you received the product - we will arrange for the product to be repaired or replaced like-for-like, we may issue a partial refund or apply a partial credit to your account, at our discretion.
- Return postage costs will be covered.
- All return requests must be made using the process outlined below. Returns without a valid RMA Number and authorisation will not be processed.
