Guarantee & Return Policy

Effective Date: December 10, 2025

At OpenELAB, we are committed to providing accurate product descriptions and high-quality electronics. The following policy outlines your rights and obligations, designed to be fair to both our customers and our business operations globally.

1. Warranty Policy

A. Standard Limited Warranty (Global & US)

Warranty Period: OpenELAB provides a 12-month warranty from the date of delivery.
Coverage: This warranty covers defects in material and workmanship under normal use.
Resolution: We will repair or replace defective units at no charge.

B. Statutory Rights for EU/UK Customers (EU Compliance)

If you are a consumer residing in the European Union or the UK purchasing from our global site:

Statutory Guarantee: You are entitled to a 24-month statutory guarantee for conformity defects present at the time of delivery, in accordance with EU consumer protection laws.
Relation: The Standard Limited Warranty (Section 1.A) applies in addition to, and does not replace, your statutory rights.

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).
Normal Wear & Tear: Consumable parts (e.g., batteries), unless defective upon arrival.

Note: For non-warranty repairs (e.g., customer-induced damage), we may offer repair services for a fee. Shipping and diagnostic costs will be borne by the customer.

2. Return & Refund Policy

A. Return Window

Standard: You may request a return within 30 days of receiving your order.
EU Customers: You have the statutory right to withdraw from the contract within 14 days of receipt without giving a reason.

B. Refund Conditions & Restocking Fees

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.
The original packaging is intact and sealed.
All accessories are present.

2. Partial Refund (Restocking Fee / Value Depreciation)
If the item is returned in a condition that prevents it from being sold as new, OpenELAB reserves the right to deduct a Restocking Fee (or "Compensation for Loss of Value" for EU customers) from the refund.
Deductions apply if:

Signs of Use: Visible scratches, mounting marks on screw holes, or fingerprints.
Damaged Packaging: Original box is torn, written on, or missing.
Technical Modification: The device has been powered on, programmed/flashed, or soldered.
Broken Seals: Anti-static bags or security seals have been opened.

Depending on the severity of the usage/damage, the deduction may range from 15% to 50% of the product price. Items damaged beyond repair due to misuse will not be refunded.

C. Shipping Costs

To ensure a smooth return process, please follow these steps:

Authorization: Contact us at info@openelab.io before returning any item. Returns without prior authorization will not be accepted.
RMA Number: We will provide you with a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number and the correct return address.

📦 Unboxing & First Impressions

Opening the kit was a pleasant surprise—the board is remarkably compact! Everything comes in a no-frills plastic pouch, and inside you’ll find:

🧠 XIAO ESP32S3
📡 Wio-SX1262 LoRa extension board
📶 Wi-Fi antenna
📻 LoRa antenna

🛠️ Setup Notes & Tips

Antenna confusion is real: The skinny antenna is for LoRa, the wider one is for Wi-Fi. Take care when attaching them—U.FL connectors are tiny and fragile.
Board connection trick: At first glance, it looks like soldering is needed, but nope. The Wio-SX1262 snaps cleanly onto the XIAO using a proprietary connector. Just remember to peel off the protective tape underneath before snapping it in. That adhesive keeps things from wiggling loose over time.
BYO USB-C: No Type-C cable is included, so be sure you’ve got one that supports data + power.

Once you’ve got those pieces in place, setup is smooth sailing.

🔥 Flashing Meshtastic Firmware onto the XIAO ESP32S3

Getting your node Meshtastic-ready only takes a few minutes:

Plug It In: Connect the XIAO to your computer with a USB-C cable that supports data transfer.
Launch the Flasher: Open the Meshtastic Flasher.
Select Device: Pick “Seeed XIAO ESP32-S3” from the list.
Choose Firmware: Pick a version (latest stable is ideal) and click Flash.
Review → Continue: Skim the changelog, then proceed.
Full Erase + Install: For best results, select Full Erase and Install, then click Update.
Done! Your node will reboot, fresh and ready.

📲 Pairing with the Meshtastic App

Pairing the device is just as seamless:

Get the App: Download from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android).
Find Your Node: Head to the Bluetooth section and wait for your new node to appear. It’ll show a Node ID and other details.
Enter Pairing Code: Use 123456 by default—or check the terminal log after flashing if it’s different.
Select Region: Pick the right LoRa region (like EU868, US915, etc). The device will restart with your settings locked in.

- Pre-Ordering: If an item is unavailable, you can pre-order it. We'll dispatch once stock is replenished, usually within 10 working days. Special pre-sale products will specify the expected arrival time in the description.
