Card Concepts Inc. provides a warranty to all LaundryCard and FasCard systems, effective from the date of installation. Warranty periods vary by product - all other warranty conditions apply to both LaundryCard and FasCard products. Details on product warranty duration can be found in the product sections below.

Warranty Fulfillment (RMA) Policy

Disclaimer: Card Concepts Inc. strongly recommends contacting Technical Support to troubleshoot system issues before returning any equipment. Any returned equipment that has not gone through the Technical Support process that is found to be functional may be returned to the sender at their expense with no credit given. Warranty replacement will be only provided for failures due to manufacture defect, any product found to be damaged through intentional misuse, abuse, or negligence may not be eligible for warranty.  When contacting Technical Support for troubleshooting assistance, obtain a case number to verify troubleshooting occurred before requesting an RMA.

A Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) is required to return products to Card Concepts Inc. for processing. Warranty parts may be replaced through an authorized distributor or may be purchased with a credit card. If purchased directly, a credit will be processed when the hardware to be returned is received and verified to be non-functional.
