To be eligible for a return, your item must be unused, in the original packaging, and in the same condition that you received it. We require a receipt, order number, or other proof of purchase in order to complete your return. If you purchased PopSockets products from a third-party re-seller or retailer, please return your item(s) to the store where you purchased it.

You will be responsible for paying for your own shipping costs for returning your item. If you are shipping items worth over $75, you should consider using a trackable shipping service or purchasing shipping insurance. We cannot guarantee that we will receive your returned item.

Refunds

Once your return is received and inspected, we will send you an email to notify you that we have received your returned item. We will also notify you of the approval or rejection of your refund. If you are approved, then your refund will be processed, and a credit will automatically be applied to your credit card or original method of payment.

Partial Refunds

We are not able to offer partial refunds for items that are not in their original condition or items that are returned more than 30 days after delivery.

Late or Missing Refunds

If you haven’t received a refund yet, contact your bank or credit card company; it may take some processing time before your refund is officially posted. If you’ve done this and you still have not received your refund, please visit our help center at help.popsockets.com, and submit a request to speak with a customer service agent.

Limited Warranty

WHO IS COVERED? We provide a limited product warranty that is non-transferable and covers only the original end purchaser. An original or copy of the sales receipt from the original PopSockets authorized sales retailer is required for our warranty service, unless otherwise prohibited by law. This limited warranty does not cover products purchased through online auction websites. PopSockets products are legitimately sold only by authorized retailers who are required to follow PopSockets’ policies, procedures, and quality control standards. This limited warranty is provided in addition to any other rights the original end purchaser may have at law, which vary from state to state.

WHAT IS COVERED AND WHAT IS THE WARRANTY PERIOD? PopSockets warrants that its products will be free from defects in workmanship and materials under normal use for the lifetime of the product which PopSockets designates to be three years.

WHAT IS NOT COVERED? PopSockets is not responsible for damage to any other product other than PopSockets’ products purchased through PopSockets’ or its authorized sales retailers. Further, the limited warranty does not cover any: normal wear and tear of product use; product that has been altered or customized by a reseller, you or any third party; damage caused by misuse, lack of care, mishandling, accident, or abuse; damage caused by use of the product other than for its intended purpose; product that has been improperly repaired or maintained; product that has been repaired by an unauthorized provider; and damage to any third-party product, including without limitation damage to any device used in connection with the PopSockets’ product.

HOW TO MAKE A CLAIM UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. Warranty claims must be made directly to PopSockets. Product must be returned to PopSockets LLC, 5757 Central Ave., Boulder, Colorado, 80301 U.S.A. via traceable shipping method along with the original purchase receipt and your contact name, phone number, and physical and email addresses.

PopSockets is not liable for products that are damaged or lost in transit to PopSockets. You must pay shipping costs for the return of your product to PopSockets, and you will be responsible for taxes, customs fees, duties, brokerage, or other related costs, if applicable. However, PopSockets will pay the shipping costs for the shipment of the replacement or repaired product to you.

PopSockets reserves the right to send you a replacement product that is the same or of a similar style or a substitute equivalent that may not be of like kind (depending on availability). Replacement products will be furnished only on an exchange basis. Replacement products are covered by this limited warranty for the remainder of the original applicable product warranty period.
