Welcome to Matrixgadget.com ("Matrixgadget," "the Company," "we," "us," or "our"). This Return & Refund Policy ("Policy") is designed to provide our Customers ("you," "your," or "Customer") with a clear, transparent, and comprehensive understanding of the terms and conditions governing returns, exchanges, and refunds for products purchased through our website. We encourage you to read this Policy in its entirety before initiating any return or exchange request, as it forms a legally binding part of the Terms of Service applicable to every purchase made on Matrixgadget.com.

By placing an order on Matrixgadget.com, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the terms set forth in this Policy.

1. Purpose and Scope

1.1 This Policy applies to all products sold on Matrixgadget.com, including but not limited to mobile accessories, electronic accessories, chargers, cables, cases, covers, earphones, headphones, power banks, and other related gadget accessories (collectively, "Products").

1.2 This Policy governs the terms under which a Customer may request a return or exchange of a Product, the conditions that must be satisfied for such a request to be considered valid, and the process by which refunds, where applicable, are issued.

1.3 This Policy does not constitute, and shall not be interpreted as, a general right of return for reasons of personal preference, buyer's remorse, change of mind, incorrect sizing (where applicable), or dissatisfaction with the aesthetic or subjective qualities of a Product. Only the specific circumstances enumerated in Section 2 below shall qualify a Customer for a return or exchange.

2. Eligibility for Returns and Exchanges

2.1 Matrixgadget.com accepts return or exchange requests only under the following two circumstances:

(a) Damaged in Transit — The Product was physically damaged during the course of shipping and transportation from our fulfillment center to the delivery address specified by the Customer at the time of order placement; or

(b) Incorrect Product Received — The Product delivered to the Customer is materially different from the Product that was ordered, including but not limited to incorrect model, incorrect variant, incorrect color, or incorrect item altogether.

2.2 No return, exchange, or refund request shall be considered valid, processed, or entertained by the Company under any circumstance other than those expressly listed in Section 2.1, including but not limited to: change of mind, incorrect expectations regarding Product performance, compatibility issues not disclosed as a defect, minor cosmetic variations consistent with normal manufacturing tolerances, or dissatisfaction arising from subjective preference.

2.3 It shall be the sole responsibility of the Customer to carefully review the Product description, specifications, images, and compatibility information provided on the product listing page prior to completing a purchase. The Company shall not be held liable for any claims arising from a Customer's failure to conduct such due diligence.

3. Mandatory Videographic Proof Requirement

3.1 The Customer acknowledges and agrees that, due to the nature of the Products sold by the Company, the Company requires videographic proof as a mandatory prerequisite to process any return or exchange request submitted under this Policy.

3.2 This videographic evidence is required for the Company to internally evaluate the condition of the Product, verify the nature and extent of the claimed damage or discrepancy, and arrive at an informed determination regarding the validity of the return or exchange request.

3.3 The video evidence submitted by the Customer must, at a minimum and without limitation, satisfy the following conditions to be deemed acceptable for evaluation purposes:

(a) The video must be a single, continuous, and unedited recording, commencing from the moment the sealed package is first handled by the Customer and continuing through the complete unboxing process, without any pause, cut, splice, or interruption of any kind;

(b) The video must clearly and legibly display the shipping label affixed to the outer packaging, including the order number, tracking number, and Customer's name and address, in a manner that is fully readable to the reviewing personnel of the Company;

(c) The video must show the outer packaging from all sides prior to opening, followed by the act of opening the package, and thereafter the Product itself, in a manner that clearly and unambiguously demonstrates the alleged damage or discrepancy giving rise to the return or exchange request;

(d) The video must be recorded in adequate lighting conditions such that the Product, packaging, and any alleged defect or discrepancy are clearly visible and identifiable without ambiguity;

(e) The video must not exhibit any evidence of tampering, editing, splicing, or manipulation, whether through digital means or otherwise, and the Company reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to reject any video that it reasonably believes to have been altered in any manner.

3.4 The Customer expressly agrees and acknowledges that the submission of the video evidence described in this Section 3, in full conformity with the requirements set out herein, is a strict prerequisite for the consideration of any return or exchange request. Failure to provide such proof, in the form and manner requested by the Company, shall render the Company unable to process the return or exchange request, and no further action shall be taken by the Company with respect to such request.

3.5 The Company reserves the right to request additional documentation, photographs, or information beyond the video evidence described above, at its sole discretion, where it deems such additional evidence necessary to fairly evaluate a claim.

3.6 Video evidence, once submitted, becomes the property of the Company for the purposes of internal record-keeping and dispute evaluation, and may be retained by the Company for a reasonable period following resolution of the return or exchange request.

4. Return Window

4.1 Any request for a return or exchange must be initiated by the Customer within 7 (seven) calendar days from the date of delivery of the Product, as reflected in the tracking information provided by the courier or logistics partner engaged by the Company.

4.2 Requests submitted after the expiry of the 7-day window specified in Section 4.1 shall be deemed time-barred and shall not be considered by the Company under any circumstances, regardless of the underlying reason for the delay, save and except in circumstances where the Company, in its sole discretion, determines that an exception is warranted.

4.3 The date of delivery, for the purposes of calculating the 7-day window, shall be conclusively determined by reference to the delivery confirmation timestamp recorded by the Company's designated courier or logistics partner, and not by reference to any date claimed by the Customer.

4.4 It is the Customer's sole responsibility to inspect the Product and, where applicable, record the unboxing video described in Section 3, immediately upon receipt of the Product, in order to ensure timely compliance with the return window specified herein.

5. Process for Initiating a Return or Exchange Request

5.1 To initiate a return or exchange request, the Customer must contact the Company's customer support team through the official channels designated on the Matrixgadget.com website within the timeframe specified in Section 4.

5.2 The Customer's request must be accompanied by the following, without which the request shall be deemed incomplete and shall not be processed:

(a) The order number associated with the purchase;

(b) A clear description of the reason for the return or exchange request, specifying whether the claim falls under Section 2.1(a) — Damaged in Transit, or Section 2.1(b) — Incorrect Product Received;

(d) Any further supporting documentation or information as may be reasonably requested by the Company's support team.

5.3 Upon receipt of a complete request, the Company's internal review team shall evaluate the submission and shall, within a reasonable period, communicate its decision to the Customer, including whether the request has been approved, rejected, or requires further clarification or additional evidence.

5.4 The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to reject any return or exchange request that it determines, upon review, does not satisfy the eligibility criteria set out in Section 2, or does not include video evidence conforming to the requirements of Section 3.

5.5 The Company's decision regarding the validity of a return or exchange request, following its internal evaluation process, shall be considered final.

6. Return Shipping

6.1 Where a return or exchange request has been reviewed and approved by the Company in accordance with the process described in Section 5, the Company shall bear the cost of return shipping in full. The Customer shall not be required to pay any shipping, courier, packaging, or handling charges in connection with an approved return.

6.2 The Company will coordinate the reverse pickup of the Product through its designated logistics partner. The Customer shall be required to ensure that the Product is reasonably available for pickup at the address on record within the timeframe communicated by the Company's support team.

6.3 In the event that a scheduled reverse pickup fails on account of the Customer's unavailability, incorrect address information, or any other reason attributable to the Customer, the Company reserves the right to reschedule the pickup at its discretion, and repeated failures may, at the Company's sole discretion, result in the cancellation of the approved return or exchange request.

7. Condition of Returned Products

7.1 All Products approved for return must be shipped back to the Company in the same condition in which they were received by the Customer, including but not limited to: original packaging, all accessories, manuals, warranty cards, tags, and any bundled items that were included with the original shipment.

7.2 Products that are returned in a condition materially different from that documented in the unboxing video submitted under Section 3 — including but not limited to additional damage, missing components, missing packaging, or signs of use beyond what is necessary for inspection — may, at the sole discretion of the Company, be rejected upon receipt, in which case the associated refund or exchange shall not be processed, and the Product may be returned to the Customer at the Customer's own cost.

8. Refunds

8.1 Where a return request is approved by the Company under this Policy, and the returned Product is received and inspected by the Company in accordance with Section 7, the Customer shall be entitled to a refund in the form of store credit only, redeemable exclusively on Matrixgadget.com.

8.2 The Company does not, under any circumstances, issue refunds to the Customer's original payment method, bank account, card, digital wallet, or any other payment instrument used at the time of purchase. Store credit is the sole and exclusive form of refund made available under this Policy.

8.3 Store credit issued under this Policy shall be credited to the Customer's Matrixgadget.com account within a reasonable period following the Company's confirmation of receipt and inspection of the returned Product, and shall reflect an amount equivalent to the value of the Product as paid by the Customer, exclusive of any shipping, handling, convenience, or other ancillary charges paid at the time of the original purchase, unless otherwise expressly stated by the Company.

8.4 Store credit issued under this Policy:

9. Exchanges

9.1 Where a Customer's request, in lieu of a refund, seeks an exchange of the Product for the correct variant, model, or a replacement unit (in the case of a claim under Section 2.1(a) or 2.1(b)), the Company shall, subject to availability of stock, process such exchange in place of issuing store credit.

9.2 Where the Product requested for exchange is unavailable in stock at the time the exchange request is approved, the Company shall, at its discretion, either issue store credit in accordance with Section 8 or offer to fulfill the exchange once stock becomes available, and shall communicate the applicable option to the Customer.
