Warranty Claims for Quality-Related Issues
Smartphones - 12 Months Warranty.
Accessory - 1 Month Warranty.
All quality-related defects on items sold directly by Unihertz or Unihertz's authorized resellers are covered by an extensive warranty, starting from the date of purchase.
Unihertz's limited warranty is restricted to the country of purchase. The limited warranty is void on items taken outside the country they were originally bought in or shipped to directly from an authorized online purchase.
For quality-related warranty claims, items will be replaced with a factory refurbished model of equal value when available, otherwise a new item will be sent. In situations where a replacement is not an available or preferred option, Unihertz will offer a partial refund according to the usage time of the device.
Warranties on all replacements follow the same warranty timeframe of the original defective item, or 3 months after being replaced, whichever is longer. Warranties on products are void after having been fully refunded.
Repairing Service
Unihertz provide repairing service to help you repair broken screens, replace batteries, and fix other issues. The price depends on the type of repair. If your smartphone is beyond repair, you might need to replace it. Repair and shipping costs must be covered by the customer.
Return Policy
Every item sold from Unihertz official website enjoys a money back guarantee if the product has not yet been shipped. Once shipped, we do not issue a refund unless there are quality issues that cannot be solved. Please contact service@unihertz.com if you need to be refunded before it is shipped, or if you have encountered quality issues.
Warranty Claim Process:
If your item has an issue, please first submit a request to our customer support at service@unihertz.com with the following information:- Buyer must provide sufficient proof of purchase (such as order number from online purchases made through Unihertz or Unihertz's authorized resellers, Sales invoice, dated sales receipt from an authorized Unihertz reseller that shows a description of the product along with its price). Please note that more than one type of proof of purchase may be required to process a warranty claim (such as receipt of money transfer and confirmation of address item was originally shipped to).
- The defective item’s IMEIs.
- Visible proof depicting the defect are required (Photo/ video proofs should ideally be clear and focused, taken under good lighting conditions, and from a close to medium distance). This allows us to identify and verify the issue(s).
- Unihertz must document what happens when buyers troubleshoot the product.
- It may be necessary to return an item for quality inspection.
- For defective items that Unihertz needs to have returned, warranties on those replacements are voided if the wrong item is returned to Unihertz or if the defective item is not returned.
