  1. Policy. Unless you have a separate written agreement with Insight, the return of hardware and software purchased from Insight (collectively, "Product") is subject to specific manufacturer, publisher or distributor restrictions. Such suppliers may provide limited or no returns of Products. If the supplier accepts returns, you may return Product and Insight will assist in its replacement or grant you a credit against future purchases in an amount equal to the original purchase price and freight paid for the Product less any applicable restocking fees. You are responsible for shipping charges and risk of loss on all return shipments. Returns are also subject to the rights of return processes below. If you fail to return Product within the applicable return policy period or if the Product does not meet the rights of return and processes under this Return Policy, the Product is considered accepted by you and not returnable.

  2. Rights of Return:
    • Permitted Product Returns.
      Hardware: If permitted by the manufacturer's return policy, hardware, accessories, peripherals and parts may be returned if: 1) the packaging is unopened and still in the manufacturer's sealed package, and 2) returned within 30 days from the date of shipment.

    • Damaged Products. Packages that are obviously damaged should be refused at the time of original delivery attempt. If damaged Products are accepted from the carrier, contact Insight's Client Services within 2 days after receipt of shipment to arrange for a carrier inspection and a pickup of the damaged Products.

Timely receipt of this information is necessary to file a damage claim with the freight carrier and avoid delays in returns and replacements.
