NON REFUNDABLE:

All satellite dishes purchased through this site are nonrefundable. We will only replace defective parts.

If the dish is sent back to our warehouse, it will be considered abandoned property. We do not accept these items back and will not pay for return shipping on them being shipped back. If you request an RMA on a package, the RMA is only valid for the package equipment and not the Satellite dishes. Please be advised that we will not tolerate charge-backs on items that are not returned to our warehouse. Dishes will not be accepted back, but this does not mean that the rest of the package should not be returned if we have provided an RMA to you.

WARRANTY INFORMATION:

WARRANTY IS PROVIDED BY THE MANUFACTURER, NOT BY SATMANIACS.

Please be advised if you download any unauthorized software to your receiver, this warranty is void and the manufacturer will not honor the warranty. SatManiacs. Is not responsible for the use of software or for the manufacturers denying the warranty based on their findings.

The Manufacturer warranty is as follows, and extends Only to the original USA user of the equipment and is limited to the purchase price of each part. This warrantee only covers USA buyers and does not extend to non-USA buyers. Non-USA buyers should contact the manufacturer directly about any warrantee coverage or claim in their country. Manufacturer(s) warrant products against defects in materials or workmanship as follows:

(Note: "Parts" may include the antenna assembly, receiver, LNBF, remote control, or antenna mounting hardware. It does NOT include other parts purchased separately.)

This warranty "does not cover" installation of the systems. If applicable, such installation will be warranted under a separate installation agreement.

In the event that you download any software to your receiver, the warranty is voided. Please note again that SatManiacs is not responsible for the manufacturers warranty, this is a manufacturer warranty provided by the MANUFACTURER. SatManiacs can provide the contacts to the manufacturer at request. Any unauthorized software or non-manufactures firmware uploaded to your receiver will automatically void the warranty of the receiver. The manufacturer does not support third party software, and neither does this web site or its parent company SatManiacs Inc. Should you modify your receiver in any way, you will void your warranty. We are not responsible for receivers that have been modified. In the event that you have been given an RMA by this company and the product is returned to our warehouse, it will be tested by one of our technicians. Should you return your receiver and not inform our company that you have downloaded software to your receiver and the technician tests it and finds out that this is the reason for the failure of the equipment, you will be charged a technician fee, as well as a repair fee and return shipping. If you have been given our account to return the product back to our warehouse and it is found that you have modified your receiver and it needs to be repaired, you will also be charged this shipping cost that was put on our account. Should you choose not to repair, the receiver within 5 days of notification (via e-mail to the e-mail address given at the time of the order), the receiver will be considered abandoned.

This warranty "does not cover" equipment sold AS IS, or WITH ALL FAULTS, auction sales, equipment removal or reinstallation, shipping damage if the equipment was not packed and shipped in the manner prescribed, nor equipment purchased, serviced, or operated by other dealers.

We feel that it is very necessary to tell the truth about all FTA manufactures and their so called warranty. From experiences with our customers and their dealings with manufactures, there is no such thing as a manufacturer warranty with the receivers available in North America. Do not let this deter you from buying, as we are positive that you want to know the truth about products and not be misled with information just so that a sale can be made. Very rarely are there any problems with an FTA receiver as there are no moving parts inside the unit. If you purchase from us and the unit is DOA (dead on arrival) we will gladly exchange the unit for you, providing you have not modified it with unauthorized software (firmware). Please note that all receivers will be tested by our technicians upon return to our warehouse, and all firmware is detectable. Should we not be informed of a previously modified receiver you will risk extra charges for the technicians time. The technician cannot be fooled, technology does not lie, so honesty is the best policy.

It seems like the manufactures have dropped the ball when promising that they have a warranty, but it really should be called a repair charge.

Many online retailers claim to have a warranty for the FTA receivers they sell, but how can they when the manufactures cannot warranty their own product?

That is why we are telling you that they will charge for a repair.
The bottom line here is if your receiver malfunctions, you will need to send it to the manufacture at one of the addresses below. They will repair it for a fee.

We do not support any unauthorized software upgrades to FTA receivers or DVB cards. This could be one of the reasons why the manufactures are clamping down on their warranty claims.

Here is a list of the manufactures and their web site:

1) Coolsat - www.coolsatrepair.com

2) Pansat - www.pansatusa.com/home.htm

3) Viewsat - www.viewsatusa.com

4) Neosat - www.neosatusa.com

OVERNIGHT SHIPPING:

We do not offer Overnight shipping as of yet see the shipping page for updates. 2-3 Day express is available on FTA receivers only providing you have the order approved and confirmed by 12 PM EST.

We cannot guarantee Saturday delivery, as many delivery locations do not offer this service. Dishes and Complete satellite systems with a dish are unable to be shipped overnight because of their size and weight of the package. Typically, most satellite packages will arrive within 7 business days. We cannot guarantee shipping times as we are not the courier company. Please note that shipping costs are not refunded. Any shipping credits will be assessed, as a claim to the courier company, if the claim is granted credits will be addressed accordingly.
