JLM Merchandise Return and Technical Support Policy

We're on your side and here to help yoU!
In business since 2002, JLM Merchandise Surveillance and Security Products is a leader renowned for providing state-of-the-art consumer grade and professional grade surveillance, security and safety solutions to businesses, government agencies, and individuals. We are committed to the highest standards of quality and will work with you if you have a problem. We have found that most issues can be resolved by our Technical Support Team. These policies have been developed over time and cover the most common issues that arise. Occasionally, we may deviate from these policies in favor of our customers. However, we usually strictly adhere to our policies due to the nature and intended usage of our products as we are bound by law in some cases and the fact that we provide only brand new products and do not rent our products. If you are having problems with your product, we will make every reasonable effort possible to troubleshoot, repair, or replace the product in the most cost effective and expeditious manner possible. We are here to help you.

90 Day Protection Plan

For your convenience and peace of mind, all products purchased through JLM are backed by our 90 day protection plan. We will replace or repair the item if it stops working within 90 days of the delivery date due to manufacturer defect (see What is Not Covered below). To notify us of a defective product, please Contact Us. We will reply to you with instructions. Depending on the product, all merchandise is covered by a manufacturer warranty. Refer to the product page for warranty duration. Warranty service outside of our 90 day protection plan will be referred to the respective product manufacturer.

Technical Support

All products purchased from JLM include free technical support for the life of the product. If you require technical support, Contact Us and we will get you in contact with the appropriate Technical Support Representative. Depending on the product, technical support is provided by either our Technical Support Team, the Distributor's Technical Support Team, or the product manufacturer. In the event your problem cannot be resolved via telephone or e-mail and you are within the protection plan/warranty period, you may be asked to return the product for repair/replacement. We will e-mail you a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number and detailed instructions. Once we receive the return, it will be thoroughly inspected, tested and, if defective, repaired or replaced as appropriate and shipped back to you at our expense. Please allow up to 15 business days from receipt of your product for RMA processing. If the product has been discontinued and is unable to be repaired, we will work with you to find a suitable replacement or, if a viable replacement is not available, you will be refunded. If the return has been tested and found to be non-defective, we will contact you to provide technical support information and you will be charged for return shipping.

Returns for Refund

You may return most (see What Cannot be Returned below) merchandise within 7 days of receipt. Returns of merchandise require a valid Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. Contact us to request an RMA number and it will be sent to you via e-mail along with return instructions. You may return the merchandise for a refund of the product cost less a restocking fee of up to 20% and our original shipping/handling fees.
