Defective/Damaged Product Return Policy

APEX and our Manufacturers stand behind the products we provide. If a product defect is the result of a manufacturing, production, assembly, or packaging process, a full credit or replacement will be issued.

What is defective product?

• All products that fail to perform as intended within 30 days of invoice date are considered defective or dead out of box product.
• All claims for a defective product must be made within 30 days of invoice date.

• Once the defective product has been received at APEX, you will be credited in full for the cost of the replacement product.
