- The refundable amount is based on the USD value paid for the product. Refunds for Bitcoin or USDT payments are calculated against that USD amount, rather than a fixed quantity of cryptocurrency. The time required for funds to reach the Customer depends on the payment method and processing provider.
- All devices, sensors, and accessories purchased directly from SenseCAP are covered by a one-year warranty from the date of delivery.
- Warranty eligibility is verified against the original sales record and, where available, the product serial number. For products without a serial number, the order details and official sales invoice are used to identify the purchase.
