Once your return is received and inspected, we will notify you of the approval or rejection of your refund.

All devices come with a 12-month manufacturer warranty covering hardware defects.

We reserve the right to issue partial refunds in the following situations:

- Return is initiated after the 28-day period

Partial refund amounts will be determined based on the condition of the returned item and its resale value.
Note on the Flashing Service: the service fee is non-refundable once flashing has begun — the service is supplied to your specification with your express consent (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). GrapheneOS alters the device's verified boot state. Certain high-security banking apps may not function on the flashed device. We are not responsible for software incompatibility post-flash.
If you haven't received your refund within the stated timeframes:
- Check your PayPal account again, including your linked bank or card (PayPal sometimes routes refunds to the underlying funding source)
- If you paid as a PayPal guest by debit/credit card, check that card's statement
- Contact PayPal support (processing may take additional time on their side)
- If you've completed all above and still not received your refund, contact us
Please include your order number and the date of return in your communication.
Only regular priced items may be refunded. Unfortunately, sale items cannot be refunded unless they are defective.
This applies to clearance items, promotional offers, and special discounts.

Orders may be cancelled before shipment. Full refund will be issued within 3-5 business days.
After Shipping:
Once an order has shipped, it cannot be cancelled. You will need to wait for delivery and then initiate a return following our standard return policy.
