Refund Policy
Last updated: July 2026
This Refund Policy sets out the conditions under which returns and refunds are handled for purchases made through [yourdomain.com]. By placing an order, you agree to the terms below.
References to “we”, “us” or “our” mean [Your Company Limited], [Your Business Address].
1. Nature of Goods
- We sell physical automotive diagnostic products (OBD2 scanners, Bluetooth OBD adapters, battery testers, TPMS sensors and related accessories), shipped to the delivery address you provide at checkout.
- Because compatibility varies by vehicle, please confirm before ordering that a product supports your vehicle’s make, model, year and region. Our support team is happy to help you check before you buy.
2. Order Cancellation
- You may cancel an order free of charge at any time before it is dispatched, for a full refund.
- Once an order has been dispatched, the return process below applies.
3. Refund Eligibility
Refunds or replacements may be granted in the following cases:
- Item not received: The order is confirmed lost in transit by the carrier, or has not arrived within a reasonable period after the estimated delivery date.
- Dead on arrival / defective: The product does not work on arrival or develops a fault covered by the [12]-month limited warranty (see our Terms of Use and Conditions).
- Damaged in transit: The product arrives damaged (please photograph the packaging and product before disposal).
- Wrong item sent: The product received differs from what was ordered.
- Not as described: The product differs significantly from the listing description (supported by evidence such as photos or video).
- Change of mind / 14-day withdrawal: If you are a consumer in the EU, the UK, or another jurisdiction granting a statutory right of withdrawal, you may return the product within 14 days of delivery without giving a reason. In addition, we accept change-of-mind returns within [30] days of delivery, provided the product is unused, in its original packaging, with all accessories and documentation included.
Refunds will not be granted for:
- Products damaged through misuse, accident, liquid ingress, or unauthorised modification or repair.
- Faults caused by connecting the product to incompatible vehicles or devices, or by unofficial firmware/software updates.
- Normal wear and tear of consumable parts such as cables, clamps and batteries.
- Returns sent without a return authorisation, or received outside the return window, except where required by law.
4. Return Window and Conditions
- Return requests must be raised within [30] calendar days of delivery (or within your statutory withdrawal period, where longer protections apply).
- Returned products must be sent back within [14] days of receiving the return authorisation, unused, in original packaging, with all accessories, cables and documentation.
- Unless the return is due to our error or a defective product, you are responsible for the cost and risk of return shipping. We recommend a tracked service, as we cannot refund items lost on the way back to us.
- Please contact us for a return authorisation and the correct return address before sending anything back. Unauthorised returns may be delayed or refused.
5. Refund Process
- Submit a request via your account dashboard or email [support@yourdomain.com], quoting your order number.
- Provide supporting evidence where relevant (e.g., photos or video of the fault or damage, tracking information).
- We will acknowledge your request within 2 business days.
- Our team will review and respond within 5 business days. For suspected faults, we may first offer troubleshooting steps or a firmware update, as many issues can be resolved without a return.
- If a return is approved, we will issue a return authorisation and return instructions.
- Once the returned product has been received and inspected, approved refunds are issued to the original payment method within [14] days. Depending on your bank or payment provider, funds may take additional time to appear.
- Where a claim is accepted under warranty, we may, at our option, repair the product, send a replacement, or refund the purchase price.
6. Partial Refunds, Shipping Charges and Currency
- Diminished value: We may reduce a refund to reflect any loss in value caused by handling beyond what is needed to establish the nature and functioning of the product.
- Original shipping charges: Refunded only where the return results from our error or a defective product.
- Customs and duties: Import duties or taxes paid to your local authorities are not refundable by us; you may be able to reclaim them from your customs office.
- Currency: Refunds are issued in the original payment currency. We are not responsible for differences arising from exchange-rate movements or bank conversion fees.
- Non-transferability: Refund rights apply only to the original purchaser and the original order.
7. Billing Discrepancies
- If you believe you have been billed incorrectly, notify [support@yourdomain.com] within 30 calendar days of the charge.
- We will investigate promptly and correct any confirmed error.
8. Chargebacks
- Please contact our support team before initiating a chargeback — most issues can be resolved faster through our refund process.
- Where a chargeback is raised on a transaction that was properly completed and delivered, we may suspend the associated account and will provide our payment processor with delivery and transaction evidence.
- Nothing in this section limits your right to raise a legitimate dispute with your payment provider.
9. Legal Compliance
- Nothing in this policy affects your statutory rights under the consumer protection laws of your country of residence, including any statutory warranty or withdrawal rights.
- This policy is governed by the laws of the [Hong Kong SAR], consistent with our Terms of Use and Conditions.
10. Policy Changes
- We may amend this policy from time to time. The version in force when you place an order applies to that order. Changes take effect upon posting to the Website.
