H. Procedure for returning goods
No returned goods, for service or otherwise, will be accepted without prior authorization from Matrox. To obtain return authorization, contact Matrox M.Key Customer Support (see the contact information at
www.matrox.com/video/support). Once approved, Matrox will contact you with your Returned Merchandise
Authorization (RMA) number. Matrox cannot be responsible for units returned without an RMA number. Matrox will advise you of the shipping address.

This will speed up processing.
Each individual, returned unit or group of units MUST have an RMA number issued by Matrox. Matrox must authorize the number of units grouped under one RMA number. Any units received without prior approval by Matrox will be returned to you freight collect.
You shall be responsible for the cost of consolidated freight (one way only) for warranty units from your location to the location designated by Matrox. Once repaired, Matrox will incur the cost of consolidated freight for warranty units to your location.
