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.

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)

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
