As a result, The Telecom Spot will return any physically damaged product(s) back to the customer at the customer's expense.

The Telecom Spot recommends that you have a trained technician install any equipment purchased from The Telecom Spot. This is to ensure that there are no problems with installation, programming, and will help to protect your equipment from damage. If you need a recommendation of an installer in your area, please contact us. The Telecom Spot does not offer any free technical assistance with the products we sell. We can offer advice on compatibility of items, make product recommendations, provide sales advice, however, technical support is very time consuming and is usually offered for a fee only. Depending on the type of equipment and support needed, these support services may incur additional costs. Typical billing rates for support range from $75 to $125 per hour, and sometimes with a one hour minimum.

Processing Time
You can expect your order to be processed within approximately 24-48 hours, provided the items are in stock and there are no problems with payment verification.

Back-orders/Out-of-Stock Items
Occasional inventory discrepancies may occur due to inaccurate inventory counts or possibly because the last few items on our shelves are damaged and/or not in a condition that we can in good faith sell to a customer. In that instance we will contact you directly to give you the choice of a refund or to wait for the item to become available.

Product Revisions
The Telecom Spot is not responsible for changes or variations in product specifications and/or physical appearance.

This includes but is not limited to new versions or revisions, color deviations, retail package alterations and other variations that may be considered inconsequential by the manufacturer. The Telecom Spot relies on the manufacturer/distributor to communicate these differences. Presently we have no way of alerting customers prior to purchase in the event the manufacturer fails to do so. Consequently, The Telecom Spot will not be held responsible for product revision changes.
