Labor expenses associated with service are the responsibility of the dealer or distributor, if applicable, except as follows:

At Matthew James’ Showroom’s discretion, or if the dealer / distributor is unable to perform the repair, the unit may be returned to the factory for service using agreed upon airfreight. After repair the unit will be returned by the same carrier or equivalent. During years (3-5) three through five, if the dealer / distributor is unable to perform the repair, Matthew James’ Showroom will pay the return airfreight from the factory by agreed upon carrier, provided the unit was shipped to the factory with airfreight prepaid.
  • Matthew James’ Showroom will not pay freight costs if the unit is returned without a Return Authorization Number (RA#).
