2. The warranty period starts on the date of delivery to the first user or the date of invoice to purchaser whichever is later and is not transferable.
3. In case of deficiency, covered by the warranty, ezDrive™ is authorized to choose either to remedy the deficiency himself or by an authorized partner or to replace a defective product by an equal substitute upon its return to ezDrive™.

4. The following applies when processing a warranty claim:
a) The Purchaser must mail or e mail a detailed description of the fault(s) including the date and place of purchase, photographs of all connections to device box, battery, etc. and the installer’s address to ezDrive™.
Photos of the interior fastening of the thruster (if the boat is out of the water, the outside fastening as well) must be included with a request for warranty, photos of the electrical connections at the i-Box and a photo of the defective part/s (e.g. the joystick), if necessary, as well as a photo of the i-box connection to the on-board power supply.
b.) After evaluating the photo material and the description of the issue, ezDrive™ may ask the customer to send at their expense the potentially defective part(s) for further evaluation by issuing an approved RMA
c.) Based on evaluation of the returned parts, ezDrive™ will decide on the further procedure within a brief period of time.
This can be:
-The customer receives a new part if an accessory (e.x. accessory part such as joystick, i box, switch, etc.) and returns the old part
-The customer receives a new replacement thruster after the old part and i box is returned to ezDrive™ along with photographs taken from all 8 sides (to rule out that any transport damage which is the owners expense), and the returned part is deemed to be under warranty after examination by ezDrive™ technical team. All thrusters must be accompanied by the corresponding i box control.
-The customer receives notification of determination of warranty claim. (This can also happen as soon as the photo material has been evaluated.)
Costs incurred in evaluating warranty claims will be charged to the customer if it is found there are no warranty issues.
