ShibbyPrints 30-Day Limited Hardware Warranty and Return Policy
Printed-Parts Kits
ShibbyPrints warrants the printed parts included in a parts kit against functional defects in materials or workmanship for 30 days beginning on the delivery date.
If a covered defect prevents a printed part from functioning as intended, ShibbyPrints will provide a replacement part.
Because these components are 3D printed, minor surface variations and other cosmetic characteristics may be present. Cosmetic issues that do not affect the part’s intended function are not covered.
Damage caused by assembly errors, excessive filing or modification, stripped holes, misuse, accidents, or customer handling is not covered. If a customer damages a part, ShibbyPrints may offer a replacement for purchase at a reasonable price.
If an order arrives damaged during shipping, contact ShibbyPrints promptly through the Contact page and provide photographs of the packaging and affected components.
Assembled and Tested Units
Printed components included with an assembled and tested unit are covered by the same 30-day printed-parts warranty described above.
Electronics supplied with an assembled and tested unit are covered by a 30-day limited hardware warranty beginning on the delivery date. This warranty covers electronic components that fail because of a defect in materials or workmanship under normal intended use.
This warranty applies to the hardware supplied by ShibbyPrints. It does not guarantee the performance or compatibility of customer-supplied computers, case feeders, cables, mounting hardware, containers, or other external equipment.
Troubleshooting and Warranty Service
The customer may be asked to complete reasonable troubleshooting steps so the affected component can be identified.
If the problem can reasonably be corrected with a customer-replaceable component, ShibbyPrints will provide the covered replacement part and any necessary instructions. The customer is responsible for installing the replacement part.
If extensive diagnostics are required or the repair is not reasonably suitable for the customer to perform, ShibbyPrints may require the affected component or assembly to be returned. When a return is required, ShibbyPrints will provide a prepaid shipping label and will repair or replace the covered item before returning it to the customer.
If ShibbyPrints requests that a failed component be returned after sending a replacement, a prepaid return shipping label will be provided.
Electronics-Enclosure Safety
The electronics enclosure contains components and wiring that are not intended to be serviced by the customer during the warranty period.
For safety, do not open the enclosure, alter its wiring, change jumper positions, or add components without instructions from ShibbyPrints.
This warranty does not cover a failure, damage, or additional repair made necessary by:
- Opening or improperly servicing the electronics enclosure
- Incorrect wiring or cable connections
- Unauthorized modifications
- Added or substituted components
- Changed jumper settings
- Improper installation or mounting
- Misuse, accidents, or physical damage
- Incompatible or defective external equipment
Opening or servicing the enclosure does not eliminate warranty coverage for an unrelated defect that was not caused by that activity.
Software, Models, and System Performance
This warranty applies to hardware only. It does not cover or guarantee:
- Software operation or compatibility
- Community-created models or training data
- Classification accuracy
- Sorting speed or model-training time
- Calibration
- Environment-dependent settings
- Performance of customer-supplied equipment
Settings supplied with an assembled unit are baseline settings recorded during pre-shipment testing. They are provided as a starting point and may require adjustment for the customer’s computer, installation, lighting, case condition, or sorting environment.
Returns and Refunds
All sales are final. ShibbyPrints does not accept returns or provide refunds for buyer’s remorse, changes of mind, ordering errors, nonfunctional cosmetic variations, or incompatibility with customer-supplied equipment.
This policy does not affect the 30-day limited hardware warranty. Valid warranty claims will be handled through repair or replacement under the terms described above. Refunds will be provided only when required by applicable law.
After the Warranty Period
After the 30-day warranty period expires, replacement parts may be available for purchase.
Customers may repair, modify, or rebuild their systems using their own parts after the warranty period. ShibbyPrints is not responsible for failures, damage, or other issues caused by customer repairs or modifications.
Requesting Warranty Assistance
To request warranty assistance, contact ShibbyPrints through the Contact page and provide:
- Your name and order information
- A description of the problem
- Photographs or video of the affected component, if requested
- Any requested troubleshooting or diagnostic information
A warranty claim reported within the 30-day coverage period will not be denied solely because troubleshooting or repair continues after the coverage period expires.
