Warranty & RMA Policy

Dear Customers:

Thank you for purchasing TP-Link products. In order to protect your rights and interests, please read the following Warranty Policy carefully. NOTE:  THIS WARRANTY POLICY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE.

Limited Warranty

TP-Link USA Corporation (“TP-Link USA”) provides a limited warranty on all eligible TP-Link products purchased in the United States. This limited warranty covers failures due to defects in material or workmanship for devices, antennas, and accessories*, commonly referred to as “manufacturer defects.” Packaging, software products, and technical data are not covered under the limited warranty. The maximum liability of TP-Link USA is the product purchase price.

The duration of the limited warranty begins from the original date of purchase and is only applicable to the original purchaser of the product. Second-hand goods, such as products sold as “used,” “as is,” or “open box”, are generally not covered under this limited warranty. A valid proof of purchase and a complete product serial number are required to receive any services guaranteed as part of this limited warranty. This limited warranty does not apply if the product has been modified in any way or has a defaced or removed serial number.

This limited warranty does not apply to refurbished products or products resold by unauthorized resellers. Products sold by unauthorized resellers are considered second-hand goods and do not qualify for warranty services. For TP-Link Refurbished Product Warranty Policy, please visit http://www.tp-link.com/us/support/refurbished/

TP-Link USA’s limited warranty does not provide refunds, returns, or exchanges under most conditions. Product(s) replaced under this limited warranty are typically replaced with factory refurbished product(s). If the defective product(s) are discontinued, end-of-life, or out of stock, TP-Link USA will issue a replacement product with equivalent features (not equivalent value).   Product warranty periods are not renewed or extended for any replacement products provided under this warranty policy. The original purchase date and warranty period will apply to any replacement products until the end of the original warranty period.

*Note:

Vacuum accessories are components that experience natural wear and tear over time requiring periodic replacement. The warranty for these products solely covers manufacturing defects, such as sizing or fitting issues making them unsuitable for their intended use. Normal wear and tear, along with other defects not resulting from manufacturing, are not covered under the warranty.

*Limited Lifetime Warranty: 

A:  Limited lifetime warranties only apply to the original purchaser and do not transfer.  Second-hand business-class products or products sold by unauthorized resellers do not carry a limited manufacturer warranty. RMA requests for such products will be denied.  

B:  Warranties on products that are discontinued/end-of-life will be limited to a period of (5) years from the end-of-life date, as set by TP-Link USA. Discontinued status is based on the model number and not the hardware revision.

C:  Only the product and its internal parts are covered under the limited lifetime warranty.  External parts such as external power supplies, modules, and other accessories may be covered under separate warranties.  Please refer to TP-Link business-class accessories for more information.
