Exchange Policy
For exchanges, you will need to return the product before Exapta can ship the exchanged product. Once the returned product is received by Exapta, the exchanged product will be shipped to you as soon as possible.
To expedite exchanges: Pay in full for the replacement product for immediate shipping. Once the returned product is received, Exapta will issue a refund (either by check or credit to credit card).
Damage Boxes/Missing Products
If shipping boxes are damaged, you should immediately check all boxes for correct product quantity (sometimes we pack all the small pieces in a single box, for instance). Follow the packing list that goes with every shipment. If any items are damaged or missing, please contact us. We strive to pack our shipments super-carefully to minimize any damage, but we are at the mercy of freight handlers after the product leaves our dock.
Warranty Policy
For warranty claims, generally, the product will need to be returned at your shipping expense. Once product is returned, if Exapta determines there is in fact a product defect, you will be refunded for shipping expenses and the defected product will be replaced.
- Thompson wheel bearings: We offer a 5-year guarantee on our Thompson wheel bearings. The bearing must fail before a warranty is issued. If you are concerned the product will fail during the planting season, we recommend you to purchase bearing replacements for emergencies (use a press to push only on the outer race; DON’T install with a hammer).
- Valions: Defects in casting or tile installation will be warranted/replaced, as well as breakage in the field, or by dropping them on a concrete floor, or by twisting them by hand during install. Valion breakage during install due hammer strikes won’t be warrantied – and this includes ‘wild’ hammer swings during rivet smashing – the instructions state to use a ‘C’-shaped, screw-type rivet crusher, such as is used on sickles. Installation instructions are included with every Valion order; not following instructions can void any warranty. Exapta will not be liable for collateral damage (broken seed tubes) or lost income from planting problems caused by broken Valions – see the Warranty Limitations in the instruction sheets.
- Keetons and Mojo Wires: significant damage will result to both Keetons and Mojo Wires if drill or planter is backed up while engaged in the soil, or backed up in tall weeds or grass when drill/planter is raised. No warranty is available for this. If other damage occurs to either product, replacement is at the discretion of Exapta Solutions and at the very best, warranty only offered one time.
- No warranties to any third party (i.e., you purchased used equipment that had Exapta products installed by the previous owner).
- Other: All other products will be determined on a case-by-case basis by Exapta.
To expedite warranties and/or eliminate unnecessary shipping expenses, you can email pictures with explanations to sales@exapta.com. However, we reserve the right to require the defective item itself to be returned.
