How Do I Get Warranty Service and What are Neat’s Responsibilities?

You may visit www.neat.no/support for help or you can email support@neat.no for assistance.  You will be required to supply proof of purchase or a copy of proof of purchase to show that the product is within the warranty period.

If Neat determines that a product is covered by this warranty, Neat will (at its option) repair or replace it. In such case, Neat will issue a return merchandise authorization (“RMA”) and may require you to return, at your cost, the product to the point of purchase or such other place as Neat may direct.

When you return a product to our service center, the product must be shipped in its original packaging or in packaging that affords an equal degree of protection.  Neat must receive the defective item within sixty (60) days of the date the RMA was issued by Neat.  If Neat does not receive the item within such sixth (60) day period the RMA may be cancelled and you may be required to request a new RMA as set forth above. Neat is not responsible for transportation costs to the service center but will cover return ground shipping to you via standard courier. 

Once Neat receives the product and confirms coverage under this warranty, Neat will—in its sole discretion—either repair the product and return it to you, or provide a replacement.  There will be no additional charge for parts or labor for covered products during the warranty period.  Replacement parts may be new or re-certified at Neat’s option and sole discretion.

Any repair or replacement items are shipped via standard courier / ground shipping with service levels of 1-2 weeks from the date of shipment dependent on geography/location.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, upon receipt of the defective item, Neat determines (in its sole discretion) that the item is not covered by the warranty (including for the reasons set forth in the section herein entitled “What Does This Warranty Not Cover”), Neat will (at your option) dispose of the item without further obligation to Neat, or ship it back to you at your sole cost.

Replacement parts and labor are warranted for the remaining portion of the original warranty or for ninety (90) days from warranty service, whichever is longer, or for any additional period of time that may be applicable in your jurisdiction.

What Do I Do If I Am Not Satisfied With Warranty Service?

If you feel Neat has not met its obligations under this warranty, you may attempt to resolve the issue informally with Neat.  If you are unable to resolve the issue informally and wish to file a formal claim against Neat, and if you are a resident of the United States, you must submit your claim to binding arbitration according to the procedures described below, unless an exception applies.  Submitting a claim to binding arbitration means that you do not have the right to have your claim heard by a judge or jury.  Instead, your claim will be heard by a neutral arbitrator.

Binding Arbitration Agreement; Class Action Waiver (U.S. Residents Only)

UNLESS YOU HAVE OPTED OUT AS DESCRIBED BELOW, ANY CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM RELATING IN ANY WAY TO YOUR PRODUCT, INCLUDING ANY CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE WARRANTY, A BREACH OF THE WARRANTY, OR THE PRODUCT’S SALE, CONDITION OR PERFORMANCE, WILL BE SUBJECT TO BINDING ARBITRATION under the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”).  This includes claims based on contract, tort, equity, statute, or otherwise, as well as claims regarding the scope and enforceability of this provision.  A single Arbitrator shall decide all claims and shall render a final, written decision.  You may choose the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service (“JAMS”), or other similar arbitration service provider acceptable to Neat to administer the arbitration.  Consistent with the FAA, the appropriate AAA rules, JAMS rules, or other service provider rules shall apply, as determined by the Arbitrator.  For AAA and JAMS, these rules are found at www.adr.org and www.jamsadr.com.  However, at the election of any party, a court of competent jurisdiction may adjudicate any request for injunctive relief, but all other claims will first be decided by arbitration under this Agreement.  This arbitration provision may be severed or modified, if necessary, to render it enforceable.

Each party to the arbitration shall pay his, her, or its own fees and costs of arbitration.  If you cannot afford your arbitration fees and costs, you may apply for a waiver under the relevant rules.

The dispute will be governed by the laws of the state or territory in which you resided at the time of your purchase (if in the United States).  The place of arbitration will be New York, New York or such other location as may be agreed to by the parties to the arbitration.  The arbitrator will have no authority to award punitive or other damages not measured by the prevailing party’s actual damages, except as may be required by statute.  The arbitrator will not award consequential damages, and any award will be limited to monetary damages.  Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator will be binding and final, except for any right of appeal provided by the Federal Arbitration Act and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.  Except as may be required by law, neither you nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration under this warranty without the prior written consent of you and Neat.

ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER IN ARBITRATION, IN COURT, OR OTHERWISE, WILL BE CONDUCTED SOLELY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.  AND YOU AGREE THAT NO PARTY WILL HAVE THE RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE ARBITRATED AS A CLASS ACTION, OR IN ANY OTHER PROCEEDING IN WHICH EITHER PARTY ACTS OR PROPOSES TO ACT IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ON BEHALF OF A CLASS OF INDIVIDUALS OR CONSUMERS.  NO ARBITRATION OR PROCEEDING WILL BE JOINED, CONSOLIDATED, OR COMBINED WITH ANOTHER ARBITRATION OR PROCEEDING WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF ALL PARTIES TO ANY SUCH ARBITRATION OR PROCEEDING.

IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE BOUND BY THE BINDING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER, THEN: (1) you must notify in writing within sixty (60) days of the date that you purchased the product; (2) your written notification must be mailed to Neat at 100 Park Avenue, 16th Floor, New York, NY 10017, Attn: Legal Department; and (3) your written notification must include (a) your name, (b) your address, (c) the date you purchased the product, and (d) a clear statement that you wish to opt out of the binding arbitration agreement and class action waiver.
