At Gadgetopiah Kenya, customer satisfaction and genuine products are our top priorities. We understand that technical issues can sometimes arise, and we aim to handle returns, exchanges, and refunds as quickly and transparently as possible.

1. Return Window

We offer a 7-Day Return Policy. You have 7 calendar days from the date you receive your order (or collect it in-store) to request a return or exchange.

2. Conditions for Return Eligibility

To qualify for a valid return or exchange, the item must meet the following criteria:

Proof of Purchase: You must present a valid receipt, invoice, or M-Pesa transaction code.
Original Packaging: The item must be returned in its original, undamaged retail packaging, including all original boxes, manuals, charging accessories, and warranty cards.
Physical Condition: The product must show no physical signs of customer wear, scratches, or cosmetic damage.
Security & Accounts: All personal user accounts (e.g., iCloud, Google Account, Samsung Account) and passcode locks must be completely logged out and removed prior to returning smartphones, tablets, or laptops.

3. Non-Returnable Items & Warranty Exclusions

Certain circumstances and products are strictly non-returnable and excluded from our refund policy:

Items reported after the 7-day window has elapsed.
Devices with physical damage (cracked screens, dents, crushed bodies) caused after delivery.
