Policies and Procedures
Support Procedures
In order to improve and maintain their "Quality-of-Support" many Manufacturer's now request, in fact some actually require, that all requests for support are handled directly by their Support Centers. The benefits to you, the customer/user, of this approach are both immediate and obvious. You get direct access the the Manufacturer's Support Team and they are then able to support and assist you directly - often times diagnosing your issue and providing a solution online.
Does this mean MAPLELEAF TECHNOLOGIES no longer provides support? Of course not. In fact quite the opposite. We have found the use of Direct Online Support provides for a faster and more effective analysis of support issues and therefore faster support issue resolution. Remember, just changing the equipment will not resolve the issue if the issue is related to something such as configuration, integration, or software drivers!
Please find below the list of our Manufacturer's Support Centers plus their preferred method of contact. Just click on the Manufacturer and follow their instructions.
And finally, please do not forget to keep us informed so that we can track progress, ensure all issues are satisfactorily resolved in a timely manner, and of course to champion your issue where necessary,
Best Regards from Support @ MapleLeaf.
Product Warranty

Product Warranty does not cover damage caused by abuse, misuse, unauthorized modification, lightning or power surge damage, extreme heat or cold, and/or corrosive environments. The Product Warranty also does not cover the normal wear and tear on covers, cases, housing, connectors, accessories, etc.
Return Material Authorization (RMA) Procedure

Advance Replacement Prodedure
Please note, if you require an Advance Replacement Unit to be shipped we shall require a Purchase Order for the advance replacement unit. The Purchase Order must clearly indicate the Manufacturer/Model, quantity, price, and shipping method, and reference the valid MAPLELEAF TECHNOLOGIES assigned RMA Nr. (i.e. MPLF-00xx).
The suspect/faulty item must be returned within 14 days to avoid invoicing. When the suspect/faulty item is received and determined to be covered under warranty, the credit will be issued to your accounts payable department. This credit will offset the purchase order submitted for the advance replacement unit.

What do I do if an item is received damaged?
If the item appears to have obvious damaged by Carrier (i.e. FedEx or DHL), immediately tell the FedEx driver you do not want to receive this package or go to http://www.FedEx.com/ to submit a damaged shipment claim. If the damaged package was left or someone else signed for it, there is a grace period of around 3 days to file the damage claim. If a package looks suspiciously damaged, you can tell the driver to wait and open it to make sure the contents are not damaged and then if they are refuse the package claiming the damage. Obtain a control number from FedEx and email MapleLeaf Technologies customer service at customerservice@mapleleaf-technologies.com.
If the item appears to be damaged straight from the manufacturer, immediately email MapleLeaf Technologies customer service at: CustomerService@mapleleaf-technologies.com. Note: Always be sure to get Carrier's (i.e. FedEx or DHL) damage package control number for your claim.
Best Regards from Logistics @ MapleLeaf.
