Certain manufacturer, distributor, software, medical, industrial, or special-order restrictions may apply.
1. Standard Return Period
Eligible products may generally be requested for return within 30 calendar days of delivery, unless a different return period is stated on the product page, quotation, invoice, purchase order, or manufacturer documentation.
A return request does not automatically guarantee approval. All returns are subject to eligibility review and issuance of a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA).

Complete
In resalable condition
In original manufacturer packaging
Accompanied by manuals, accessories, cables, documentation, licenses, and other included components

Publisher-specific terms may also apply.
6. Medical Products
For health, sanitation, safety, and regulatory reasons, certain medical products cannot be returned after packaging has been opened.
Sterile, disposable, patient-contact, temperature-sensitive, prescription-related, or hygiene-sensitive items may be non-returnable unless the product was defective, damaged in transit, or incorrectly supplied.
7. Special Orders
Products specifically ordered, configured, customized, manufactured, or sourced for a customer may be non-cancelable and non-returnable once the order has been submitted to the manufacturer or distributor.
Customers will be notified when special-order restrictions apply whenever reasonably possible.
8. Damaged Products
Customers should inspect shipments promptly after delivery.
If a product arrives visibly damaged, please contact us as soon as possible and provide:
Order information
Photographs of the shipping carton
Photographs of the damaged product
Shipping label photographs
Description of the damage
Please retain the original packaging until the claim has been resolved.
Depending on the circumstances, we may coordinate a replacement, return, manufacturer claim, distributor claim, or carrier claim.
9. Incorrect Products or Shipping Errors
If AI Devices Online, LLC or one of our fulfillment partners ships an incorrect product or quantity, contact us promptly.
Once verified, we will work to arrange the appropriate correction, replacement, return, or refund.
Customers should not use or install an incorrectly shipped product if they intend to return it.

Defective products may be subject to the applicable manufacturer warranty or replacement procedure.
Depending on the product and manufacturer, AI Devices Online, LLC may:
Authorize a return
Arrange a replacement
Refer the customer to manufacturer technical support
Provide manufacturer warranty information
Assist with the applicable warranty process
Manufacturer policies may supersede our standard return procedure for certain products.
11. Restocking Fees
Eligible returns may be subject to a restocking fee where imposed by the manufacturer, distributor, fulfillment partner, or applicable transaction terms.
Additional deductions may apply where products are returned with damaged packaging, missing accessories, incomplete components, or reduced resale value.
No restocking fee will normally be imposed solely because AI Devices Online, LLC shipped the wrong product or an authorized return resulted from our fulfillment error.
12. Return Shipping
Unless the return results from an error by AI Devices Online, LLC or an approved defective/damaged-product claim, the customer is generally responsible for return shipping expenses.
Customers should use a trackable shipping method and properly insure higher-value returns.
AI Devices Online, LLC is not responsible for unauthorized returns or products lost or damaged while being returned by the customer.
13. Original Shipping Charges
Original shipping, expedited delivery, special handling, freight, installation, processing, or similar charges are generally non-refundable, except where required by law or where the return resulted from an error attributable to AI Devices Online, LLC.
14. Refund Processing
Approved refunds will generally be issued after the returned merchandise has been:
Received,
Inspected,
Verified against the approved return authorization.
Refunds will normally be issued to the original payment method where practical.
Processing time may vary depending on payment provider, bank, distributor inspection, manufacturer approval, or transaction type.
15. Replacement Orders
Approval of a return does not automatically reserve replacement inventory.
Replacement products are subject to availability at the time the replacement is processed.
If the original product is unavailable, we may offer an equivalent alternative or issue the applicable refund.

Returns involving government agencies, businesses, educational institutions, healthcare organizations, or other contractual customers may also be governed by the applicable:

No-return classifications
Restocking charges
Direct manufacturer return requirements
Serial-number validation

Restocking charges
Customers should contact us before refusing a shipment whenever possible.
