Policies & Agreements

1. Orders and Acceptance

To place an order for Hardware directly from Motive, you must enter into an Order Form. Motive may also require additional qualifying information prior to accepting or processing any order. 

Your delivery and Motive’s receipt of your Order Form does not constitute acceptance by Motive, and an order is not considered accepted until Motive accepts the Order Form. Motive reserves the right at any time after receiving your order, but before shipping the requested Hardware, to accept or decline your order for any reason. If Motive cancels an order after you have already been billed, Motive will refund the billed amount.

2. Delivery, Title and Risk of Loss

Title and risk of loss to Hardware will transfer from Motive or its Affiliate to Customer pursuant to the Shipping Table below. Any delivery dates or times provided by Motive (or a delivery agent) are estimates and not guaranteed, unless otherwise agreed to when Motive accepts your Order Form. Motive shall not be liable for any late or delayed delivery of your Hardware.

3. Refund and Return Policy for Hardware Sales

On a case-by-case basis, Motive reserves the right to authorize, but Customer does not have a right to, a full refund of any Hardware purchase made where a refund is requested within seven (7) days of the date on which the Customer receives the Hardware. In such cases where a refund is approved, Customer will return the Hardware to Motive. Customer is responsible for shipping and insurance charges and any damage to the Hardware which takes place en route to Motive. Motive reserves the right to charge a restocking fee for any such returns.

In order to return your Hardware for a refund, you must, at your own expense, package and return the Hardware in its original box and packaging, and the Hardware must be returned in its original condition.

4. Hardware Not for Resale

The Hardware may not be purchased for resale purposes by Customer unless Customer is a legal and authorized reseller of Motive products or otherwise with Motive written approval.

5. Limited Hardware Warranty

5.1 Limited Warranty

Motive warrants to Customer that any Hardware shall be free of defects in materials and workmanship, for the duration of the applicable Warranty Period (as defined in Section 9.4).

If the Hardware fails to conform to this Limited Hardware Warranty during the Warranty Period, Motive will, at its discretion, (i) repair or replace any defective Hardware or component or (ii) if the Hardware is no longer available and repair is not possible, refund the purchase price less reasonable depreciation based on actual use.

Repair or replacement may be made with a new or refurbished product or component at Motive’s discretion. Any Hardware that has been repaired or replaced under the terms of this Limited Hardware Warranty will be covered by the terms of this Limited Hardware Warranty for the remainder of the Warranty Period, if any.

This Limited Hardware Warranty will only apply to the actual purchaser and end user of the Hardware, and this Limited Hardware Warranty is not available for products that were purchased used or from any source other than Motive or an authorized reseller or retailer.

5.2 Hardware Upgrades

In the event that Customer is entitled to a replacement under the terms of this Limited Hardware Warranty and either (i) Motive replaces the Hardware with upgraded Hardware or (ii) Customer requests that Motive replace the Hardware with upgraded Hardware, and Motive fulfills such request, Motive may charge an additional fee for the upgraded Hardware based on the upgraded Hardware’s purchase price and, upon Customer’s return of the old units, provide Customer with a rebate equal to the purchase price of the old units, less reasonable depreciation based on actual use, in the form of a credit on its account or otherwise.

6. Warranty Claim Procedure

6.1  How to Make a Claim

In order to make a claim under this Limited Hardware Warranty, Customer must report any defect to Motive by email at [email protected] or by phone at 1-855-434-4564. Upon receipt of such report, Motive shall run a remote diagnostic test of the Hardware, if applicable, to determine if there is a defect. Upon determining that there is a defect, Motive shall, within fifteen (15) days, send a replacement unit of Hardware to Customer, at Motive’s expense. Upon the determination that there is a defect, Motive will give the Customer a Return Merchant Authorization (“RMA”) number and a return packing label.

Customer shall be required to package and return the defective Hardware to Motive. Customer must contact Motive and receive an RMA number to be eligible for any replacement or repair under this Limited Hardware Warranty. Title to defective Hardware shall pass to Motive upon receipt by Customer of the replacement Hardware. Risk of loss for the replacement Hardware shall pass to Customer upon shipment of such replacement Hardware to Customer.

6.2 Unreturned, Voided Warranty, or Defaced Devices

If Customer has (a) not returned Hardware for which a warranty claim has been made in accordance with the requirements of the Limited Hardware Warranty within thirty (30) days of receipt of replacement Hardware, or (b) has returned such Hardware in a condition that voids the Limited Hardware Warranty, Motive shall have the right to charge Customer the Replacement Fee for the Hardware that was repaired or replaced. If Customer returns any Hardware in a defaced manner, for example, with writing on the Hardware or with the serial number removed or scratched off, unless otherwise approved by Motive, Motive may charge Customer the Restoration Fee.

6.3 Data on Returned Devices

Upon return of any Hardware, Motive may delete all data stored on the Hardware, and Motive is not responsible for any loss of data on returned Hardware.
