The definition of defective products falls into three categories as described below:
 
  IRMA (In Warranty of Return Merchandise Authorization)
      Defect occurs after 100 days of the date starting from the departure of the goods offshore Taiwan and before the warranty has expired.
 
  ORMA (Out of Warranty Return Merchandise Authorization)
      Defect occurs after the warranty has expired.
