4. Defect Exchange — Masks, Power Adapters, Cables & Humidifiers
4.1 Company's Commitment
CPAP and BiPAP masks, power adapters, cables, and humidifier units do not carry a manufacturer warranty. However, the Company stands behind the quality of all products it sells. If any of these items are found to have a manufacturing defect, the Company will offer an exchange for the same item, subject to the conditions in this Section.
4.2 Eligibility Conditions
To be eligible for a defect exchange, all of the following conditions must be met:
- The defect must be reported in writing within 48 hours of receipt for items defective on arrival, or within 7 days of first use for defects that emerge immediately upon initial use
- The item must be returned in its original packaging with all included accessories and proof of purchase
- The item must show clear evidence of a manufacturing defect — not damage caused by misuse, improper cleaning, incorrect assembly, physical impact, or normal wear
- The item must not have been used beyond initial testing where a defect on arrival is claimed
4.3 Disqualifying Conditions
The following conditions will disqualify an item from defect exchange eligibility:
- Physical damage caused by the Customer including drops, tears, crushing, or contact with sharp objects
- Damage from improper cleaning agents, solvents, or non-manufacturer-approved products
- Incorrect assembly or use contrary to the manufacturer's instructions
- Mask cushion, headgear, or tubing degradation from regular use — these are consumables, not defects
- Reports submitted outside the timeframes stated in clause 4.2
4.4 Like-for-Like Exchange Only
Defect exchanges are like-for-like only — the same product, same size, same model. No upgrade, store credit, or cash refund will be issued under a defect exchange.
4.5 Inspection Right
The Company reserves the right to inspect the item before approving an exchange. If inspection confirms the issue is not a manufacturing defect, the item will be returned to the Customer and no exchange will be provided.
