30-day Refund Guarantee
Within 30 days from shipping, undamaged products can be returned and refunded for any reason. Once your product is returned to our warehouse for inspection, the refund process will begin.
Non-quality related product issues.

- For non-quality related and compatibility related issues with products such as SwitchBot Lock, Curtain, and Blind Tilt, the buyer will be responsible for any shipping costs incurred for warranty claims.

- If any product does not meet the above requirements, a return/refund may be rejected.

- We will require the serial number of the defective product and/or visible evidence describing the defect.

Refund requests for non-quality issues cannot be processed for products with a validity period exceeding 30 days. For products that were not directly purchased through the SwitchBot online store, please contact your retailer to obtain a refund or make a warranty claim.
Quality related issues.
From the date of purchase, products purchased directly through our online store are eligible for a one-year warranty period. Before purchasing products such as SwitchBot Lock, SwitchBot Curtain, and SwitchBot Blind Tilt (which has high compatibility requirements), please ensure that the product you are purchasing is suitable for your needs before placing your order. If you proceed with the order despite confirming compatibility before purchase, we may not be able to provide a refund.
For warranty claims that are quality related, your product will be replaced with a new one and re-shipped. If for whatever reason it cannot be replaced, we will provide a partial refund based on the device's usage time.
