Sharp VA Software Guarantee

We guarantee you an unconditional and unlimited evaluation period to try the Sharp VA software. Try any of the McPartland Ophthalmics/Sharp VA products for an unlimited period of time and if you decide for any reason they are not the best option for your exam room, there is no obligation to purchase from us. Further, we guarantee that our software arrives in brand new condition every time. If you believe that your software may have been damaged in shipping, we will gladly re-calibrate and re-compile your custom software application; free of charge, of course.


Re-Calibration(s)

To ensure an accurate calibration, Sharp VA will gladly work with you to help establish proper calibration (+/- 3mm) for a period of 30 days. All re-calibration requests after a period of 30 days are subject to a $100 re-calibration fee. This includes changes in monitor size, monitor type (standard vs widescreen presentation), effective optical working distance, and exam room setup (mirror vs standard view).


Returns and Refunds

McPartland Ophthalmics and Sharp VA provide an unlimited evaluation of all software products. This allows prospective buyers to evaluate the software to ensure it meets their needs before purchasing. Hence, no software returns are allowed after a purchase.

In rare cases, we may allow software returns (on a case-by-case basis only). All returns must be pre-authorized by McPartland Ophthalmics and/or Sharp VA; furthermore, all pre-authorizations must be established before your order is placed/purchase date. Refunds will not be made towards unauthorized items.

Returned products must be complete of all components (CD, manuals, software carton, hardware, etc.) that comprised the original shipment. No credit will be issued for incomplete Sharp VA products.

All returned must be received in 30 days after the purchase if you reside in US or Canada. International customers have 45 days to complete the return process otherwise the request will be rejected.

McPartland Ophthalmics/Sharp VA will not refund the shipping and handling charges for every return. To receive a refund for software purchases from Sharp VA, you must obtain from Sharp VA an Affidavit of Software Destruction, and complete and return the Affidavit to Sharp VA. You must also destroy all copies of the software you may have made or stored in any place (including any/all virtual copies), as well as uninstall the software from any computers owned or controlled by you where you have installed the software. Once you have returned the Affidavit of Software Destruction to Sharp VA, all licenses you may have to use the software will be immediately terminated, and any further use of the software will be an infringement of copyrights as well as other intellectual property rights.

Pre-Authorized Returns are subject to the following:
• 5% processing fee (includes restocking of hardware, only if hardware is returned in new condition).
• 10% customization, calibration, and compilation of custom software application fee.
• S&H, insurance, customs fees.
