The full legal framework governing liability and warranty limitations is described in section 4 of this policy.

3.4 Warranty claim process (RMA Required)

If a customer wishes to return a product, a Return Material Authorisation (RMA) number must be issued by HB Products A/S before the product is sent.

To initiate the process, the customer must:

  1. Download and complete the RMA form: RMA Form
  2. Send the completed form to: QA@hbproducts.dk

Upon review, HB Products A/S will assign a unique RMA number and return the form to the customer. This RMA number must be clearly stated on all documents and packaging related to the return.

Please note: Issuance of an RMA number does not constitute acceptance of a warranty claim. It only confirms that the product may be returned for inspection.

RMA numbers are valid for 30 calendar days from the date of issue. HB Products A/S reserves the right to cancel the RMA if the product is not returned within this period.

4. Legal Basis
