Limited Warranty and Return Policy

AFTER-SALES SERVICE POLICIES

These Makeblock After-Sales Policies do not affect your legal rights under the laws and regulations of your country or region.

The terms set out in these policies shall be enforced to the extent permitted by the laws of your country or region.

PART I – LIMITED WARRANTY

How to Obtain Warranty Service

The warranty period starts from the day you receive the product. If the product does not function as warranted during the warranty period, you may obtain after-sales service by emailing service@makeblock.com. You will need to provide valid proof of purchase, receipt, or order number for the warranty service.

After-Sales Service Flow

Makebolck will attempt to diagnose and resolve your problem via e-mail or online chat. If your problem cannot be resolved by the method above, you may be required to deliver the product to the local Makeblock repair center for further examination. Makeblock will arrange for repair or replacement service at no cost if the problem falls under this Limited Warranty.

Note: Once Makeblock or a third-party testing laboratory confirms the problem during the warranty period, Makeblock will provide free repair or replacement of defective parts and bear the one-way logistics cost.

Note: For problems confirmed out of warranty, Makeblock will provide paid maintenance services for the products. Fees may vary based on the specific product and the degree of damage.

Note: For repaired or replaced products, the warranty period is two months from the date of shipment from Makeblock. If the remaining warranty period of the original product exceeds two months, the original warranty period shall apply.
