BALKAMP

(BK, NPT, NLE)

Merchandise Protection

As a general guideline, most products distributed by Balkamp carry a ONE Year, 12,000 MILE Warranty. This should be used as a basic guideline for all products and is supported by our Customer Satisfaction Policy. Some Balkamp products carry specific manufacturer warranties or require special handling procedures.

Balkamp Customer Satisfaction Policy

At Balkamp, we believe that the customer should be satisfied with the performance, quality and workmanship of whatever product they buy. With a few exceptions, we believe that the consumer has the right to use any product purchased for a reasonable amount of time before determining whether a product performs satisfactory and is of good quality. If the customer reasonably decides that the product does not meet this test, they may return the product to their local NAPA AUTO PARTS store. Balkamp encourages the NAPA AUTO PARTS store to do whatever is nec­essary to correct the customer's dissatisfaction. Whether a full cash refund or credit against the purchase of other merchandise is used, is solely up to the discretion of the serving NAPA AUTO PARTS store.

If the product purchased carries a specific written manufacturer's warranty or is considered a "Repair and Return" item, the NAPA AUTO PARTS store should handle the warranty in accordance with the manufacturer's warranty program or expedite the repair and return of the products pur­chased. It is our objective to fairly handle all warranty adjustments in a manner that will satisfy our customer.

Balkamp's Customer Satisfaction Policy covers the cost of the defective product only and does not cover the cost of installation. Balkamp reserves the right to refuse credit in the event that any damage to the product resulted from collision, improper installation, or other customer abuses. This policy extends only to the original purchaser of the product and is nontransferable. The Balkamp Policy is in lieu of all other warranties, expressed or implied, with the exception of consumer warranties as provided with the packaged product. In warranty cases, those wishing to handle the warranty procedure directly with the manufacturer are welcome to do so. Credit will not be issued on warranty items as specified for repair or return. Balkamp will not issue defective credit on assortments or kits as component parts are offered individually in Balkamp's lines of products. In most cases, you can break down the kit or the assortment into its individual component parts and replace only those parts which are truly defective. All items claimed defective should be returned from the NAPA AUTO PARTS store to the NAPA Distribution Center and then forwarded on to your serving Balkamp Operation. Balkamp will review your defective credit request and issue credit on all items accompanied by the proper proof of purchase. Items not specifically covered by our Customer Satisfaction Policy are: labor claims, starter drive cores, gas nozzle cores and chemical items being returned.

Merchandise Protection Plan Guidelines

General Warranty Items:  Items returned within the One Year, 12,000 Mile Warranty period due to product failure or unsatisfactory performance, that are not guaranteed under specific manufac­turer guidelines, are deemed "General Warranty" items.

Handling Procedures:  Exchange the item for the customer with an item that will satisfy his/her needs or refund their money. All general warranty items must have a completed "Defective Merchandise Tag" (NAPA form N2203*) along with the customer's sales receipt. If the customer's sales receipt is not available, the following information must be included: part number, date installed, date replaced, invoice number where possible, and the reason for the return.

NAPA FORM N2203: Order this form through your serving NAPA Distribution Center.

Limited Use Items:  It should be noted that some Balkamp products (non-application items) are specifically designed for immediate consumption or with limited use in mind, ie., air fresheners, brooms, brushes, fiberglass, flashlight batteries, fuses, grinding wheels, jersey gloves, light bulbs, etc. With limited use in mind, Balkamp's One Year, 12,000 Mile Warranty is not applicable to these types of products. However, if one of these products is deemed unacceptable for use, it too should be handled as a "General Warranty" item.

Extended Manufacturer Warranties

Some Balkamp products carry an extended warranty from the manufacturer that goes beyond the limited One Year, 12,000 Mile Warranty offered by Balkamp. If an item is returned to a NAPA AUTO PARTS store during the extended warranty period, it should be handled according to the manufac­turer's instructions found within the package. Please contact Balkamp Customer Service for answers to questions.

Kits and Assortments

Balkamp will NOT issue defective credit on most kits or assortments. In most cases, you can replace any allegedly defective or missing part(s) in a kit, or the assortment can be broken down into its component parts and put into stock.

Handling Procedure: The NAPA AUTO PARTS store should submit an RGN to their serving NAPA Distribution Center for credit on the individual missing or allegedly defective part(s). The RGN should include the kit or assortment part number and the individual part number(s) for which cred­it is being requested. The Distribution Center should likewise submit an RGN, along with copies of the Jobber RGN, to their serving Balkamp Operation.

Mis-packaged Merchandise/Merchandise On Recall

Handling Procedure

Because the listed sets are packaged in a "re-closable case" type package, there are two ways in which the warranty may be handled. They are:

1.  The NAPA AUTO PARTS store should try to replace the allegedly defective part(s) for the cus­
tomer immediately with part(s) from a set in stock. The depleted set could be replenished  by
contacting the Customer Service Manager at their serving Balkamp Operation. (Balkamp would
ship replacement parts directly to the store.)

2.     If there is not a set available to replace the allegedly defective part(s), Balkamp will ship replace­
ment part(s) directly to the store via 2nd Day UPS.  Please contact the Customer Service
Manager at your serving Balkamp Operation.

Repair and Return Procedures

Some products offered in the Balkamp line carry an expressed "Repair & Return" warranty.  Due to the nature of these products, it is recognized throughout our industry that these items should be repaired by the manufacturer and returned for further use.  All products identified as "Repair & Return" carry a 30 day "New Defect" warranty.  This warranty protects the consumer against products that do not work properly when purchased or fail within 30 days.

Handling Procedure:

All "New Defects" should be exchanged for the customer with a new working unit when possible. Attach a completed Defective Merchandise Tag clearly marked "New Defect" and return the alleged­ly defective unit with all its original component parts and a copy of the sales receipt to your serv­ing NAPA Distribution Center for credit.  Credit will not be issued unless all original component parts are returned. "Repair & Return" items returned to the NAPA AUTO PARTS store after 30 day "New Defect" period, must be returned to the manufacturer for repair.

Handling Procedure:

Time is important!  To eliminate unnecessary handling, the item should be sent directly to the man­ufacturer or repair depot.  Both are prepared to service you with the least amount of delay.

Note:

Be sure to include the customer's dated sales receipt.  Repairs made beyond the specified warran­ty period will be charged to the customer. We recommend that you contact the manufacturer before returning an item to be repaired.
