Warranty And Returns Policy

Return Exceptions
Consumable Material: Vinyl and other consumable supplies such as application tools, blades, cutting strips, transfer tape, etc. are not eligible for return once the packaging has been opened or used.

Custom Cut & By the Foot/Yard Orders: Once custom cut orders are placed, they cannot be canceled or returned.

Individual Items from Bundles/Kits: Bundled items must be returned in their entirety. Individual machines in the bundle are still valid for repair or replacement while under warranty.

Software: Software is not eligible for return under any circumstances. This includes ClipArt, CDs, DVDs, and digital downloads. If the disc is determined to be defective, a digital download for the item may be supplied at the discretion of Eclipse Distributors.

Drop Ship Items: Special order or direct shipments from the manufacturer are not eligible for return or refund to Eclipse Distributors. Unless the item has been deemed defective and has been approved by the vendor for return.

Inks: Inks are not eligible for return once they have left the warehouse.
NOTE: Printers are no longer eligible for return once inks have been installed. Any troubleshooting and warranty exchanges will have to be addressed through the manufacturer from that point forward.

Return Policy
ANY ORDER PLACED WITH Eclipse Distributors IMPLIES CONSENT TO ABIDE BY Eclipse Distributors POLICIES.

The customer has 30 days, starting from the date product is received, to initiate a return. After 30 days items are no longer eligible for return. Special Order Items and Drop-Shipments from the manufacturer are not eligible for return to Eclipse Distributors and cannot be refunded.

If an item arrives in an unusable condition, the customer has 30 days to report any damage or defects from the date they received the product. Eclipse Distributors reserves the right to request proof in the form of pictures, samples to prove defects, and to send replacement parts for items under warranty.

ALL RETURNS MUST BE AUTHORIZED BY Eclipse Distributors BEFORE ANY PRODUCT IS SHIPPED BACK. Return requests may take up to 2 business days to process. Once approved, the customer will be issued a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. This RMA will expire 30 days from the date it is issued. If the RMA expires before the requested products are shipped, the return may be denied or only valid for Eclipse Distributors store credit. If an item is sent back without approval or an approved RMA, the return may not be processed. The customer will be responsible for any shipping costs to have the item returned to them. Unauthorized returns not recovered within 10 days from Eclipse Distributors contacting the customer will be disposed.

PLEASE TAKE PICTURES AND DOCUMENT CONDITION OF ITEMS PLANNED FOR RETURN. Returning an item for refund or exchange implies the item will be received by Eclipse Distributors in a re-sellable or repairable state, unless previous determined to be a manufacture defect. If you no longer have the original packaging that your machine came with, you will need to source your own shipping box and packaging before the exchange/return can be processed. Incorrect items returned for machine exchanges will result in penalties, which may include fees and/or Eclipse Distributors account suspension. Please see the Other Fees section below for more details on fees.

Items purchased through Amazon must be returned through Amazon. Return shipping labels will also be provided by Amazon.

Limited Warranty Information
Eclipse Distributors products purchased from a vendor other than Eclipse Distributors are not covered by support or warranty. Damage to machine due to abuse, accident, misuse, neglect, ordinary wear, out-of-scope modification, power surge, failure to follow directions, improper care/maintenance, or act of nature are not covered by warranty. Units returned under the guise of warranty coverage that have out of warranty damage will be held by Eclipse Distributors to be returned at customer cost. If machine is not recovered within 10 days from Eclipse Distributors contacting the customer, it will be disposed.

Machine warranties do not cover the following consumable parts of equipment:

Blade holder or blade, or Pen Tool
Pinch Roller
Cutting strip
USB, Serial, Power, or Grounding cables
Fuse
Software (discs or digital)
Bundled accessories, vinyl, or other bundle/kit products that come with warrantied machines
Eclipse Distributors is not liable for any incidental, consequential, or indirect damaged of any kind, including without limitation: personal injury, death, property damage, environmental damage, theft or loss of product, loss of revenue or profits, business interruption, or any other business or commercial loss. Eclipse Distributors is not liable to any claims or lawsuits asserted against our customers, or any claims or lawsuits related to the unlawful or fraudulent use of our product.

Products with a warranty will have their warranty period listed on the Eclipse Distributors.com product page. Items without warranty will have no listed time. Reference individual equipment product pages for warranty periods on specific items when Bundles/Kits have more than one machine. The warranty period begins from the day the item is received. Additional warranty time can be purchased for select machines, click this link for availability (Extended warranty must be purchased during initial warranty period and extends from date original warranty ends.)

ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO MATCH THE LISTED PERIOD ON EQUIPMENT PRODUCT PAGE (AT TIME OF PURCHASE) STARTING FROM DATE THAT ORIGINAL ITEM WAS RECEIVED.

ALL OTHER ITEMS WITH NO WARRANTY PERIOD LISTED ON THEIR PRODUCT PAGE, Eclipse Distributors DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

If there are problems with a product under warranty, contact Eclipse Distributors Support by clicking on this link. Eclipse Distributors reserves the right to send replacement parts for any equipment being covered under warranty, instead of replacing the machine outright. Eclipse Distributors will ship these parts via ground shipping with no cost to the customer, as long as the shipping address is within the United States. Full support will be given by Eclipse Distributors if any replacement parts have been sent.

If Eclipse Distributors determines that the equipment is unrepairable, then a RMA number will be assigned. The customer will then be authorized to return the equipment for a replacement. Any equipment older than 30 days may be replaced with a certified refurbished unit at our discretion. Machines still within warranty period that have been discontinued or aged out will be replaced by Eclipse Distributors with an alternative, but equivalent, unit.

Troubleshooting with Eclipse Distributors Support is required to receive replacement parts or machine exchanges covered by warranty.

Defective Consumables: If the customer suspects that vinyl, transfer tape, or another consumable material is not working as it should, please report the problem to Eclipse Distributors.

After testing confirms the issue, Eclipse Distributors will supply a replacement item or credit to that customer’s account for value of the defective portion.

Consumable defects must be reported within 30 days from product receipt due to environmental and age-related factors that make testing unreliable.

Return Shipping Labels & Other Fees
Shipping Labels: Items being exchanged under warranty, determined to be defective or improperly shipped will receive a return shipping label free of charge.

Shipping labels are electronically sent and can be printed or emailed to the customer themselves. If a return shipping label expires or is lost, additional labels will not be provided, and the customer will be responsible for shipping costs for that return. Labels are for use at carrier drop-off locations. Carrier can be scheduled to pick up the customer’s package for an additional cost of $9.00 (per box).

If the customer is responsible for return shipping, they may choose their own shipping method and will communicate the tracking information to Eclipse Distributors.

Other Fees: Eclipse Distributors no longer applies an obligatory 20% restocking fee on customer-initiated returns.

If you no longer have the original packaging that your machine came with, you will need to source your own shipping box and packaging before the exchange/return can be processed. Exception: Graphtec, Mimaki, and Roland machines cannot be returned without original packaging – boxes must be purchased from these vendors prior to these returns, and the customer is responsible for box fees and shipping costs.
