1. Eligibility for Returns

To ensure a seamless return process, please ensure the following conditions are met before returning your items:

Return Window:

  • 30-Day Return Period: Items must be returned within 30 days from the date of delivery. Returns initiated after this period will not be accepted.

Condition of Items:

  • Unused and Undamaged: All returned items must be unused, undamaged, and in the same condition as when they were received. Products should be in resalable condition to qualify for a return.
  • Original Packaging: Items must be returned in their original packaging, with all accessories, manuals, parts, and documentation included. Products returned without the complete packaging or missing components may not be eligible for a refund or exchange.

Non-Returnable Items:

Certain items are not eligible for return under any circumstances:

  • Digital Downloads: Digital content, including software downloads, e-books, and any other non-tangible products, are non-refundable once they have been accessed or downloaded.
  • Software Licenses: Software products or activation keys that have been activated are non-refundable.
  • Clearance and Final-Sale Items: Items marked as final sale or heavily discounted for clearance purposes are non-returnable unless they are defective.
  • Custom or Special Orders: Personalized or custom-made products cannot be returned unless they are defective or damaged upon arrival.

2. Refund Process

We aim to process refunds promptly. Here’s what you can expect during the refund process:

Refund Approval:

  • Inspection and Approval: Once we receive the returned item, our team will inspect the product to ensure it meets our return criteria. If the item passes the inspection, we will approve the refund. Refunds are processed to the original payment method used at checkout.

Refund Timeline:

  • Processing Time: Refunds are typically processed within 7-10 business days from the date we receive the returned item. The timeline may vary depending on your payment provider or bank processing times.

Non-Refundable Fees:

  • Shipping Costs: Shipping fees are non-refundable unless the return is due to an error on our part, such as receiving an incorrect or defective product.
  • Restocking Fees: Certain items may incur a restocking fee, which will be deducted from your refund. Please refer to the product return guidelines for specific information about restocking fees.

3. Exchanges

We want you to be completely satisfied with your purchase, so we offer exchanges under the following circumstances:

Eligibility for Exchange:

  • Defective or Incorrect Items: If you receive an item that is defective, damaged, or incorrect, we offer an exchange. Please contact us within 7 days of receiving your order to arrange an exchange.
  • Exchange Process: Once your return is approved, we will send out a replacement product at no additional cost. Any return shipping fees for defective or incorrect items will be covered by SmartLockPrime.com.

Exchange Timeframe:

  • After receiving and inspecting the returned item, we will process the exchange. Please allow 7-10 business days for us to ship your replacement item.

4. Return Shipping Costs

If you need to return an item, the following guidelines apply:

Customer Responsibility:

  • Return Shipping: Customers are responsible for paying for the return shipping costs unless the item is defective, damaged, or incorrect.
  • Prepaid Return Labels: If the return is due to our error, we will provide a prepaid return shipping label. The cost of the prepaid label will be deducted from your refund if the return is due to a change of mind or incorrect order.

Trackable Shipping Method:

  • We strongly recommend using a trackable shipping method for your return. This ensures that your return is safely delivered and provides proof of delivery. We are not responsible for returns that are lost, damaged, or delayed during transit if a trackable method is not used.
