Return & Refund Policy

Effective Date: July 29, 2026
Last Updated: July 29, 2026

SmartLandsTech is committed to providing products that meet the agreed specifications and quality standards. Because many of our products may be custom-designed, manufactured, configured, or supplied for specific customer requirements, returns are accepted only for products confirmed to be defective.

This Return & Refund Policy applies to purchases made directly from SmartLandsTech through SmartLandsTech.com, an approved quotation, purchase order, invoice, or other authorized sales channel.

1. Eligible Returns

A product may be eligible for return only when it has a verified manufacturing defect, material defect, or functional defect that prevents it from operating as intended.

Examples may include:

  • The product does not power on or operate as intended
  • A component is defective upon receipt
  • The product materially differs from the approved specifications
  • The product contains a manufacturing or assembly defect
  • The wrong product was shipped by SmartLandsTech

Normal wear, customer preference, ordering errors, incompatibility not disclosed before purchase, or changes in project requirements are not considered product defects.

2. Nonreturnable Products

SmartLandsTech does not accept returns for non-defective products.

The following items are generally nonreturnable:

  • Custom-designed products
  • Custom-manufactured products
  • Products made to customer specifications
  • Special-order items
  • Customized packaging or labeling
  • Products with customer branding or logos
  • Opened, installed, programmed, modified, or used products
  • Products damaged through improper use, installation, storage, or handling
  • Products returned without prior authorization
  • Products purchased from an unauthorized reseller or third party
  • Products that are no longer in their original condition

Approval of a return request is at the discretion of SmartLandsTech and does not guarantee a refund.

3. Reporting a Defective Product

Customers must contact SmartLandsTech as soon as reasonably possible after discovering a suspected defect.

To submit a return request, provide:

  • Customer name and company name
  • Order number, invoice number, or purchase order number
  • Product name and model number
  • Quantity affected
  • A detailed description of the issue
  • Photographs or videos showing the defect
  • Serial number, batch number, or production code, when applicable
  • Date the product was received
  • Information about installation, operation, or testing

Return requests should be sent to:

Email: Sales@SmartLandsTech.com

SmartLandsTech may request troubleshooting, testing, photographs, video evidence, or additional technical information before approving a return.

4. Return Authorization Required

Products may not be returned without prior written authorization from SmartLandsTech.

If a return is approved, SmartLandsTech will provide return instructions and, when applicable, a Return Merchandise Authorization number.

The authorization number must be included with the returned shipment.

Unauthorized returns may be refused, returned to the sender, or held until the customer provides the required information.

5. Return Shipping Costs

The customer is responsible for all return shipping, packaging, insurance, customs charges, duties, taxes, and related transportation costs.

Original shipping charges are nonrefundable unless SmartLandsTech agrees otherwise in writing.

SmartLandsTech is not responsible for products lost or damaged during return shipment. Customers should use a trackable shipping service and purchase sufficient shipping insurance.

Return shipments should not be marked “cash on delivery.”

6. Packaging Returned Products

Returned products must be packaged securely to prevent damage during transportation.

Whenever reasonably possible, customers should use:

  • The original product packaging
  • Protective inserts and accessories
  • Antistatic packaging, when applicable
  • Adequate cushioning and shipping protection
  • A trackable and insured shipping method

Any additional damage caused by inadequate packaging may affect return eligibility, repair options, replacement approval, or the amount of any refund.

7. Inspection and Testing

All returned products are subject to inspection and testing by SmartLandsTech or an authorized service provider.

The inspection may evaluate:

  • Whether the reported defect can be confirmed
  • Whether the product was used or installed correctly
  • Whether the product was altered, modified, or repaired
  • Whether damage resulted from misuse or improper handling
  • Whether the product matches the returned order
  • Whether all components and accessories were included
  • Whether the product remains eligible under this policy or an applicable warranty

A refund, replacement, repair, or credit will not be issued until the inspection is completed.

8. Refunds

When SmartLandsTech confirms that a returned product is defective and eligible under this policy, SmartLandsTech may, at its discretion:

  • Issue a refund
  • Replace the defective product
  • Repair the defective product
  • Issue a credit toward a future purchase
  • Provide another commercially reasonable solution

Refunds are processed only after the returned product has been received, inspected, and approved.

Approved refunds will generally be issued to the original payment method. The processing time may vary depending on the payment provider, bank, or financial institution.

Shipping charges, customs charges, duties, taxes, installation costs, labor costs, removal costs, and other incidental expenses are not refundable unless SmartLandsTech expressly agrees otherwise in writing.

9. Products Found Not to Be Defective

If inspection shows that the product is functioning correctly or that the issue resulted from customer misuse, incorrect installation, accidental damage, unauthorized modification, improper storage, incompatible equipment, or another non-defect cause, the return may be denied.

In that situation:

  • No refund may be issued
  • The customer may be responsible for diagnostic or testing fees
  • The customer may be responsible for shipping the product back
  • Additional repair or replacement charges may apply

SmartLandsTech will notify the customer of the inspection results and available options.

10. Damaged Shipments

Customers should inspect all shipments promptly upon delivery.

Visible shipping damage should be documented with photographs and reported to both the carrier and SmartLandsTech as soon as possible.

Customers should retain:

  • The shipping carton
  • Protective packaging
  • Product labels
  • Packing slips
  • Carrier documentation
  • Photographs of the package and product

Failure to retain packaging or promptly report shipping damage may limit the ability to submit a carrier claim.

Damage caused during transportation is subject to the shipping carrier’s claim procedures and may not be considered a manufacturing defect.

11. Missing or Incorrect Items

Customers should notify SmartLandsTech promptly if an order contains an incorrect product, incorrect quantity, or missing item.

SmartLandsTech may require photographs of the shipment, product labels, packaging, and packing slip before resolving the issue.

When SmartLandsTech confirms that an incorrect product was shipped, SmartLandsTech will provide instructions for correction, replacement, or return.

12. Warranty Claims

Some products may also be covered by a separate limited warranty, manufacturer warranty, project agreement, quotation, statement of work, or purchase contract.

When another written agreement applies, its warranty, return, repair, replacement, and refund provisions will control if they conflict with this policy.

A return authorization does not extend the original warranty period.

13. Custom and Manufactured Orders

Custom and manufactured orders are produced based on approved specifications, drawings, samples, technical requirements, purchase orders, or customer instructions.

These orders cannot be canceled, returned, or refunded after production, tooling, procurement, customization, programming, branding, or assembly has begun, except where SmartLandsTech confirms a qualifying defect.

Minor differences in color, texture, packaging, production appearance, component sourcing, or manufacturing tolerances are not defects when they remain within the approved specifications or normal industry tolerances.

14. Order Cancellations

Orders may not be canceled after they have entered procurement, production, customization, programming, packaging, or shipment.

Any cancellation request must be submitted in writing and is subject to SmartLandsTech’s approval.

Approved cancellations may be subject to charges for:

  • Completed work
  • Engineering or development time
  • Tooling
  • Purchased materials
  • Supplier cancellation fees
  • Custom components
  • Packaging
  • Administrative costs
  • Nonrecoverable expenses

15. Limitation of Remedies

To the maximum extent permitted by law, SmartLandsTech’s responsibility for an eligible defective product is limited to repair, replacement, refund, or account credit, as determined by SmartLandsTech.

SmartLandsTech is not responsible for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential losses arising from a defective product, including lost revenue, lost production, installation labor, removal labor, business interruption, replacement equipment, or loss of use, unless otherwise required by law or agreed in writing.

16. Policy Changes

SmartLandsTech may update this Return & Refund Policy from time to time.

Any revised policy will be posted on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date. The policy in effect on the purchase date will generally apply to that purchase unless a separate written agreement states otherwise.
