Who pays freight
Common questions
My product costs less than Rs 1,100. What can I do?
Products below Rs 1,100 cannot be returned under the 7-day return. If the product is defective, it is covered by the 12-month HOTO warranty — choose Warranty claim in the form; it is replaced if our inspection confirms the fault.
How much is deducted on a change-of-mind return?
None, if the product comes back unused and complete. If it comes back used, tampered, damaged, or with the box, accessories, manuals or freebies missing, we deduct the repair or replacement cost of those parts plus shipping from the refund, or reject the return and send it back.
When will I get my refund?
Within 7 working days after the returned product passes inspection, to your original payment method wherever possible.
What is not covered by warranty?
- Physical, cosmetic, liquid or accidental damage; cracks, bent pins, burn marks, cut cables
- Use with incompatible adapters, over-voltage, repair attempts or modification
- Missing or tampered serial number / QR label; missing box or invoice
- Normal wear and tear; software, firmware or third-party device issues
I bought from a HOTO dealer, not this website.
If your invoice lists the seller as Sophus Technosol Private Limited, register here and upload the invoice. If another seller is named on the invoice, please contact that seller for warranty support.
Can I raise a chargeback instead?
Please register a claim first. A chargeback raised while the product is still with you will be disputed, as described in our policy.
