I returned a working transponder, but was charged for it being damaged. When is a transponder considered damaged?

In addition to any obvious destruction of a transponder, a transponder may be considered damaged if any of the following apply:

• The transponder and/or sticker has been written on or defaced in any way.
• The transponder and/or sticker has been modified or tampered with.
• The sticker has been removed, scratched out or replaced without prior written authorization from PrePass.
• ElitePass internal components are missing.

There is a $100 charge for each damaged transponder.
