Cash Registers Online Terms and Conditions


Technical Support

I. Standard Support:  Cash Registers Online (CRO) offers free standard technical support on most equipment we sell for the first ninety (90) days after purchase.  Once the 90 days of support has expired, technical support can be purchased for $25 per incident (up to 30 minutes), which must be prepaid before any technical support will be given.  To expedite service, have your order number ready prior to calling for support.  CRO is available for technical support via telephone at 605-275-2560 Monday through Friday 8:00AM to 4:30PM Central time. 

II. Software Support:  Due to the nature of computers and their components, software is excluded from our standard free technical support.  CRO charges a minimum of $50 per support incident on all software related support (up to 30 minutes) for ninety (90) days after purchase. Software support after 90 days will be evaluated by a technician and a price quotation provided before service.

III. Extended Support:  CRO offers extended support on some registers.  If extended support was purchased please refer to the extended service form for more details.

Technical Support Defined:
  CRO strives to offer the best combination of price and service; however, it is ultimately the end users responsibility for all programming, setup, and training. If you are not comfortable programming your machine, CRO highly recommends the purchase of programming before the machine is shipped.  CRO supports all customers on a first come first served basis.  Due to this, CRO technicians cannot schedule times for support, and may limit the amount of time spent on each support call. CRO also may not be able to get to your support questions on the same business day, although a technician will attempt to answer questions in a timely manner.  Technical support covers questions that may arise while setting up your new machine; it does not cover training or programming the entire machine over the phone.  Some support/troubleshooting questions may require assistance from the manufacturer, or further testing by our technicians.  Technical support is a value-added service provided to our customers and a lack of support is not a valid reason for return on any equipment.  CRO reserves the right to refuse service if we feel the technical support policy is misused or abused.  Accessories / peripherals (barcode scanners, software, printers, scales, surveillance, etc) not purchased from CRO will not be supported, please contact original reseller.

Warranty

I. Standard Warranty: 
All new merchandise CRO sells comes with the full manufacturer warranty.  During the warranty period all work must be performed by Cash Registers Online, which may require sending the item in for repair.  We do not send return labels, or call tags for warranty repair.  We will however ship the item sent in for warranty back to you via Ground Shipping at no charge, if faster shipping is desired the customer is responsible for the extra shipping fees.  Cash Registers Online does not offer loaner equipment while warranty is being performed.   If the item sent for repair is found to be a non-warranty issue a repair quotation will be given before any work is performed.  If the repair quotation is accepted payment is required prior to service.  If the service is declined, customer will be responsible for return shipping.  Customer is responsible for return shipping charges on all non-warranty issues.  Depending on parts availability, service time can range from one (1) to five (5) business days.

II. Extended Warranty:  CRO offers a warranty extension on Sam4s registers.  If an extended warranty was purchased please refer to the extended service form for more details.

Any item shipped to CRO without an RMA number will be refused.  A form containing an RMA number will be emailed upon receipt of the RMA request - please tape it to the outside of the box.  Do not write on the outside of the box.  A Return Authorization number must be issued prior to making a return. Some of our products are shipped direct from our suppliers.  DO NOT USE the address on the shipping label for return as this may not be our return address.  All returns must be sent to Sioux Falls, SD, following the shipping instructions provided on the RMA form.  RMA numbers are valid for 14 days.

C.  When returning any item(s), pack with all original packing material including plastic bags, or larger items such as cash registers will get damaged. The customer is responsible for damage caused by improper packaging.  Please insure your package for at least the amount the item being returned and use a shipping company (such as FedEx, or UPS) that provides tracking numbers as these may be required to process a refund.  Cash Registers Online does not accept returns or exchanges on merchandise without original packaging. 

D.  Item(s) returned for exchange will be charged a 15% restocking fee less shipping charges. Item(s) must be in original condition with all original packaging and accessories. 

E.  Item(s) returned for refund will be charged a 30% restocking fee less shipping charges. Any open item that is not in its original condition, damaged, missing parts, and manuals or incurred damages from shipping due to improper packaging will be subject to a higher restocking fee, or delivery refusal.  The amount of the refund will be calculated upon inspection of the returned merchandise.  

F.  Dead on Arrival (DOA):  Any item deemed defective or dead on arrival by one of our technicians will be only be exchanged for a new replacement If it is reported within two (2) business days of receiving the item.  We do not manufacture the items we sell, nor do we take every item out of the box to inspect/test it.  In the unlikely event a defective item is received an RMA number will need to be issued.  CRO does not send call tags or shipping labels, and the defective item must be sent back prior to shipment of the replacement unless the customer chooses to do an advance exchange, section (G) below.  When a replacement item is sent for exchange Cash Registers Online will ship the item back via ground service regardless of the original shipping speed, we do offer faster shipping methods at a discounted rate

G. Advance Register Exchange - $50.00.  If an item is deemed defective or dead on arrival by one of our technicians an advance exchange may be offered for a new replacement.  Advance exchanges differ from the standard DOA return policy in that CRO will ship a replacement item to you prior to receiving the defective item.  Also, with an advance exchange, a call tag will be sent for the defective item.  The item will need to be packaged in its original box with original contents and we will provide a scheduled pick up time. A valid credit card number will be needed for an advance exchange.  Advance exchanges will only be offered to customers within 14 days of receipt of the item.  

Order Cancellations

Once your order is placed, we are required to charge up to a 15% restocking fee for the cancelled order in order to cover our credit card service fees. Our system charges your credit card and we are charged fees from our credit card company. We are also charged a fee for the refund to the credit card. If you are not sure you need or want the order, please do not finalize it.  Once an order has been shipped it can not be cancelled, and the terms set forth in section (A) above apply.  If you have any questions please call us at 877-877-3192.
