Warranty
We only cover warranty, if applicable, to products purchased via this website or through any of our authorized retailers.
How do I know if my claim is eligible for warranty?
Here are some guidelines to determine if your purchase is eligible for a claim:
- Product was purchased directly from this website, or via any of our listed retailers
- The nature of the problem is not related to usage abuse, wear and tear, cosmetics, or power issues
- The product and all its stitched labels have not been tampered in any way
If your product does not satisfy the above criteria, is purchased overseas or through an unauthorized retailer, we won't be able to process your claim. If you received your product as a gift, please ask the original purchaser to get in touch with us so we can verify. If you're still unsure, feel free to email us.
What is the coverage and period of your warranty?
Peak Design products come with a lifetime warranty. Take note that "lifetime" refers to the life of the specific product model in the market. At our prerogative, claims for discontinued or unavailable product models may not be warranted. All other brands come with a standard 1 calendar year warranty from the time of purchase.
Warranty covers:
- Manufacturing defects that affect the core functionality of the product
- Failures or breakages that render part or all of your product to become non-functional
Warranty does not cover:
- Cosmetic blemishes, scratches, stains, wear & tear, and the like
- Failure or breakages due to misuse, neglect, or intentional damage
- Damage or defects caused by any power source
How do I file a warranty claim?
It's very simple.
To start a warranty claim, please include the following information in your email:
- Complete name
- Mobile No.
- Complete address
- Order number / proof of purchase
- Date of purchase / Retailer name
- Product Details (Product name, model, color)
- Photos/videos showing clear evidence of the defect (full product shot, close-up photo of defect, etc.)
- A short paragraph explaining the problem
Please send the email to info@echophotoph.com with the subject line: "RF: Warranty."
Once received, give us about a week to check and get back to you.
What's next after I file the claim?
Once you've emailed the complete information to us, please give us a week to check. We will need to access our database, and may need to also process the claim on your behalf with our principals overseas. You will receive an email once we have received an update.
If your warranty claim is approved, we shall inform you about it and ask you to send back your defective unit prior to any replacement ship out. Please take note that we may issue, at our prerogative, warranty replacements from our stock of open-box, gently-used, or refurbished items. We may also ask you to retain some components that are not related to the claim. All warranty replacements are quality-checked and certified to be clean and fully-functioning, and come with the same lifetime guarantee as your original purchase.
Do you accept returns and refunds?
We do not offer refunds, exchanges, or returns as all our products arrived sealed. Should you have complaints or warranty concerns, please email us.
What are my options after the warranty period has expired.
We may not be able to extend a warranty claim but you may write us so we can explore other options.
