Warranty Timeline

30-Day Money-Back Guarantee for Any Reason

Undamaged products may be returned for a full refund for any reason within 30 days of the date the item was delivered to the designated shipping address. Once the returned item arrives back in Techsmarter’s warehouse for inspection, the refund process will begin.

• Returns must include all accessories
• Items must include original packaging
• For non-quality related warranty claims, buyer is responsible for shipping costs
• For non-quality related warranty claims, Techsmarter refunds the cost of the product itself
• Returns may be rejected if items do not meet the above requirements

Refund requests for the 30-day money back guarantee expire 30 days after opening a warranty claim. It is not possible to process a request for a refund for non-quality issues for items that have expired this 30-day window. For purchases not made directly through Techsmarter’s online stores, please contact retailers for refunds. For quality-related issues, please see below.

Warranty Claims for Quality-Related Issues

All quality-related defects on items sold directly by Techsmarter or Techsmarter’s authorized resellers are covered by an extensive warranty, starting from the date of purchase (see top of page for your product’s warranty timeline).

Techsmarter’s limited warranty is restricted to the country of purchase. The limited warranty is void on items taken outside the country they were originally bought in or shipped to directly from an authorized online purchase.

Quality-related warranty claims on purchases made through Techsmarter’s authorized distributors and retailers are handled through Techsmarter (see list of authorized distributors and retailers here).

For quality-related warranty claims, items will be replaced with a factory refurbished model of equal value when available, otherwise a new item will be sent. Warranties on all replacements follow the same warranty timeframe of the original defective item, or 3 months after being replaced, whichever is longer. Warranties on products are void after having been fully refunded.

Warranty claims for product defects expire 90 days after opening a warranty claim. It is not possible to process a warranty claim for items that have expired their original warranty timeframe or 90-day warranty claim request period, whichever is longer.
