This document describes the terms and conditions governing parts returns and claims to Mazda Motorsports.

General Returns: A part(s) that was ordered in error or no longer are desired. Must be re-sellable/new. General returns must be filed within 30 days from the invoice date.

 

Claims (two types):

1. Re-sellable/new part(s) sent as overage, or mis-picked/wrong part in package. Re-sellable/new part(s) claims must be filed within 30 days from the invoice date.
   • Overage: Parts shipped in a quantity greater than were ordered.
   • Mis-picked/wrong part: Mistaken shipment from the PDC due to a PICKING error (ordered part A, received part B). This situation is identified by the picking label and part label not matching. Shipping error from the PDC or carrier (customer A receives customer B’s fender, customer B receives customer A’s headlamp).
2. Damaged or shortage(s). These claims need to be filed within two business days. For all visible damage claims, documentation of the damage with the carrier (at drop off) and pictures are required within two business days of delivery.
   • Damage: Material is delivered in non-saleable condition (may be visible damage seen from the outside of the box; may be concealed damage where shipping box does not indicate damage).
   • Shortage: Quantity received is less than ordered.

  

Inspect & Don’t Reject

Upon receiving part(s), inspect immediately. Regardless of material condition, NEVER reject shipment delivery. If rejected, Mazda will not send a replacement part until the returned part is received and processed, which can take several weeks.
