include with your return. You must return the products to us in their original or equivalent
packaging, prepay shipping charges, and insure the shipment or accept the risk if the
product is lost or damaged in shipment. We will return the repaired or replacement
products to you. We will pay to ship the repaired or replaced products to you if you use an
address in the United States (excluding Puerto Rico and U.S. possessions and territories).
Otherwise, we will ship the product to you freight collect.
If we determine that the product is not covered under this warranty, we will notify you and

we do not receive the original part within 30 days, we will charge to your credit card the
then-current standard price for that part.
