1.3.4 Return of Damaged Goods
Should equipment be damaged and require return to APC for repair, the APC service 
representative will provide instructions along with a valid returned material authorization 
(RMA) number to facilitate return of the damaged goods to the APC repair center. 
It is important that the steps outlined in Section 1.3.2 and Section 1.3.3 above are followed 
carefully. Your APC representative will assist you, if required, in obtaining proper disposition 
of an initial delivery return issue; however, a valid RMA number must be obtained before 
returning any equipment to APC.
