SUBMISSION OF WARRANTY REPAIR ORDERS
To keep abreast of changes in our warranty repair processing / payment procedures, Mark III has established a
(90) ninety day warranty repair cut - off time period, This ninety day period will be for authorized. No
exceptions ! This procedure will help expedite our payment to you.
This procedure eliminates one- time, large packages of repair orders being submitted to Mark III for processing,
the receipt of authorized repair orders in a timely manner will increase Mark III’s processing abilities and expedite
payment to you.
The ninety day cutoff period will be from the invoice date of the repair order versus the date Mark III receives the
repair order. For example: A repair order dated December 1996 (that is the invoiced date on the repair order)
which is received by Mark III in Customer Care Center in April of 1997, would be beyond the 90 day cut- off
period. This claim would not be honored and would be returned to the dealer marked VOID. There will be no
exceptions to this rule!
