Overview
This policy applies only to issues identified upon delivery or during initial inspection. Customers must submit an RMA request within 10 days of delivery and return the product within 5 days of receiving RMA instructions.
If these conditions are met, Byrna will replace the product at no cost.
If an issue is reported after the 10 day window, the product is no longer eligible for replacement under this policy.
- Repairable items such as launchers and rifles are serviced under the limited factory warranty.
- Non repairable items such as accessories and projectiles may be replaced if a defect is confirmed.
How It Works
- Inspect the product upon delivery
- Submit an RMA request at Care.Byrna.com within 10 days
- Receive RMA instructions
- Ship the product within 5 days
- Product is evaluated upon return
- Replacement is issued if criteria are met
Use Cases
- Visible damage upon delivery
- Product does not function out of the box
- Missing or defective components found during inspection
- Failure during initial use
Product Handling Differences
Warranty outcomes depend on product type.
- Launchers and rifles are repairable. After the 10 day replacement window, they are serviced under the limited factory warranty. They may also be repaired for a service fee if the issue is not covered under warranty, such as customer caused damage, or if the product is outside of the warranty period.
- Accessories and projectiles are not repairable. If a defect is confirmed and the item qualifies, they are replaced rather than repaired.
Warranty coverage applies only to manufacturer defects. Damage caused by misuse, improper handling, or normal wear is not eligible for free replacement or warranty repair. In these cases, launchers may be serviced for a fee, while accessories and projectiles require replacement purchase.
Important Considerations
- The 10 day window begins on the delivery date
- The 5 day return window begins when the RMA is issued
- Only defects or damage present upon arrival are eligible
- Products must be returned within required timeframes
- Replacement eligibility ends after 10 days
- Launchers are repairable under warranty after the 10 day window
- Accessories and projectiles are generally not repairable
- Launchers may be repaired for a service fee if not covered under warranty or outside the warranty period
- Customer caused damage is not covered under warranty
