Returns/Repairs.  Before any part is returned for repair, the customer must receive a return authorization from Seller. If the customer fails to receive a return authorization prior to shipping the part to Seller, then Seller reserves the right to refuse to repair the part and will not incur any costs associated with the repair or shipping of the part.
