9.2 Only products purchased from 3i or authorized dealers are eligible for after-sales services under this policy.

9.3 Due to differences in product versions, 3i products do not support international warranty services. After-sales services for products purchased from 3i dealers will be provided by the respective dealer, and after-sales services for products purchased from the 3i official online store will be provided by the 3i after-sales service team.

9.4 If the recipient's address provided by the customer is incorrect, or the recipient refuses to accept the goods, the customer will bear any resulting losses.

9.7 To protect your rights, please inspect the purchased product upon receipt to ensure it is intact and free of any damage due to logistics issues or other reasons. If the outer packaging is damaged, please refuse to accept the package and return it to the courier company. If the recipient authorizes the courier to deliver the package to a designated location without signing for it in person, any resulting loss or damage will not be our responsibility. If you notice any internal abnormality or damage to the product even though the external packaging is intact, you must contact the 3i dealer or after-sales team within 24 hours; otherwise, the issue won’t be handled.

This policy may be updated from time to time, and only the most recent version is valid.
If any terms and conditions of this policy conflict with national or local laws, the laws take precedence. When all terms and conditions comply with relevant laws and regulations, this policy serves as the standard.
