Guarantee and Return Policies
Satisfaction Guaranteed
American Dictation is today, one of the country’s largest dealers in digital dictation solutions due in large part to our sincere mission to make sure our customers get the ideal product for their needs.
To ensure this goal, we offer a Satisfaction Guarantee that you will receive the product you ordered in a timely fashion and that it is the product you expected.
Most of our Pro Dictation Products carry a 30-Day Satisfaction Guarantee. That means that if for any reason you’re not happy with your purchase, you can return it for a 100% refund.
For consumer dictation products, we extend to you a 10-day period to make sure you’re happy with your purchase. You may return your product for a refund, less a nominal re-stocking fee.
Your satisfaction period begins on the day you receive the product.
Office Products and Equipment are covered by the manufacturer’s warranty against defects.

- Return all items. All returned items must be returned in their original, unmarked containers, including all inside packaging components. All parts, manuals, warranty cards, disks, etc. must be included with each return. Failure to return all items may result in a return of the entire shipment to the sender at the sender’s expense.

American Dictation reserves the right to refuse any return that is damaged or does not meet the conditions of this policy.

Opened software, headsets, headphones, ear phones, ear buds and office supplies and equipment (printers, cash registers, faxes, shredders, etc,) may not be returned. Speech recognition software such as Dragon NaturallySpeaking and M*Modal is not returnable under any circumstances due to the individual nature of the software.

For items NOT covered by our 30-Day Guarantee, a 15% re-conditioning and restocking fee will be deducted from your purchase price.
- We may adjust your refund. If you return an item in a condition that does not meet this policy, we will contact you and let you know if we will offer you a partial refund. You may either accept this offer or have the item returned to you at your expense.
Fortunately, almost all of our returns have met our criteria. However, for those rare occasions, we have to have this policy spelled out in detail to avoid any confusion.
