Warranty

Last Updated: January 4, 2024

At inD aquatics, we want to ensure we provide great service to our customers. For this purpose, we have prepared a Warranty Statement to inform you of our procedures and how we intend to handle warranty requests. Please note that the following statement applies only to individual customers.

To ensure a smooth process for warranty support, please keep your purchase receipt, invoice, and other relevant paperwork for your inD aquatics product as proof of purchase for any future service inquiries. This will help us provide fast and efficient service in case of a warranty claim. Please note that only purchase receipts issued by inD aquatics or distributors authorized by inD aquatics are valid for warranty. All refunds, returns, and replacements will only be processed after the original products have been received and inspected at our local warehouse.

Any warranty case must be submitted via our official support page: https://bambulab.com/en/support. Please note that all return requests must be submitted to our official customer support first and the package must be returned to our designated address, otherwise you could be liable for the loss of the returned items. Any return that has not been confirmed and monitored by customer support might be lost.

Documentation needed for a warranty service:

Purchase receipt, invoice, and other relevant paperwork.
A brief description of the product issue along with clear evidence of its presence (e.g., photos, videos, and log files where relevant).

The following policy terms will not affect any other rights you are entitled to under the applicable laws of your state or jurisdiction.

If the product is purchased on a 3rd party website or via other purchasing channels such as a retail purchaser (“Resellers”), you shall follow their individual return and exchange policies.

aF4 Packaging

The original packaging will provide the best protection for the products, and improper packaging may void warranty and be subject to charges. Pack the products according to our instructions to prevent damage in transit. inD aquatics will cover the cost of return shipping which is caused by our product quality during the warranty, but you will be responsible for the returned product's packaging and any damage occurring in transit caused by improper packaging. So we highly recommend that you keep the original packaging box and packing materials of the product in case you need to return it for warranty service.

Additional Considerations

1. Failure to submit requests within the aforementioned period will be deemed as a waiver of your right to return/replace the product unless you can clearly and sufficiently prove to us that you were not able to submit the request in a timely manner due to extraordinary circumstances.

2. inD aquatics does not support cross-regional service. If the customer takes the product to another country/region and files a claim for service, the customer will need to bear for all related costs, such as repair cost and and shipping costs. If unauthorised service centers perform service without approval from inD aquatics, the warranty will become invalid.

3. In case we have provided a replacement part, the warranty does not reset, and the original warranty period still applies.

4. If you encounter any product damage, do not handle it by yourself without our guidance to avoid any potential risk. Please open a ticket first for support and do repairs only if instructed by the customer support team.

5. If the product is damaged due to the use of third-party accessories, or if the third-party accessories are damaged due to the product, the damaged parts of the product and the third-party accessories will not be covered by the warranty. Damages caused by the use of unofficial firmware and/or modifying/updating firmware with unofficial tools or methods are also not covered under the warranty terms.
