WARRANTY POLICY

Wicrypt’s half-Year (6 months) Limited Warranty Policy applies to all devices and accessories manufactured by us (each “Product”), whether such Products are purchased directly from Wicrypt or from one of our authorized retailers or resellers.


Half-Year Limited Warranty Policy

Wicrypt offers a half-year (6 months) limited warranty (“Warranty”) on all Products. This Warranty is valid and enforceable only if you purchased a new Product from us or from one of our authorized retailers or resellers in a jurisdiction where we sell products and the Product was sold to you in its original, sealed packaging. Do not accept a product that is unsealed and do not use our Product until you have read the terms of this Warranty.



Coverage

This Warranty is your exclusive remedy for defective workmanship or materials in your Product. Wicrypt warrants that the hardware will be free from manufacturing defects and, under its intended and ordinary consumer use, will function substantially in accordance with Wicrypt’s technical specifications for a period of half (1/2) year (6 months) calculated from the date of the invoice for the purchase of the product (the “Warranty Period”).
