C. Warranty Exclusions (Applies to ALL Regions)

Warranty coverage is VOID if the damage is caused by:

Misuse: Incorrect installation, reverse polarity, or exceeding voltage limits.
Unauthorized Modification: This explicitly includes soldering, cutting pins, modifying the PCB, or flashing unauthorized/beta firmware that "bricks" the device.
Physical Damage: Drops, moisture/water damage, or electrical surges (lightning).

To protect against policy abuse, the refund amount is strictly determined by the condition of the returned item.

1. Full Refund (100%)

The item is Brand New, Unopened, and Unused.
