Such support shall be provided by Tempered through its Customer Support Portal, by e-mail, telephone or other electronic means, or where applicable, by on-site visits by Tempered technicians as determined by Tempered at its sole discretion.

Upon receipt of Customer's written notification of failure, Tempered and Customer shall promptly exchange all relevant data reasonably necessary to determine the root cause of the alleged non-conformance and cooperate in good faith to establish a corrective action plan. If Tempered determines that the non-conformance was due to defective materials or workmanship, or Tempered's improper use or installation, or to damage in transit from Tempered to Customer, Tempered will issue a Return Material Authorization ("RMA") for the non-conforming Covered Products, and Customer will return the non-conforming unit or units to Tempered's designated facility in accordance with the RMA procedures. Covered Products returned to Tempered must be pre-authorized by Tempered with an RMA number marked on the outside of the package, and sent prepaid, insured and packaged appropriately for safe shipment in the packaging provided by Tempered. All other packaging will be rejected. A replacement product or component with substantially the same functionality and specifications as the original Covered Product or component will be shipped to the Customer within one (1) business day following confirmation of the failure of the original Covered Product.
