Any undamaged and unused Light-O-Rama hardware product may be returned within 30 days of purchase for a full refund of the price paid for the product returned, not including shipping charges.

The 30 day return is in effect for all products regardless of the presence of a gold 30 day satisfaction seal on the product description.
Light-O-Rama warrants that its software products will perform in substantial accordance with Light-O-Rama’s published documentation. Light-O-Rama does not warrant that its software will be error free.
Gold Seal Warranties
Many of Light-O-Rama products have Gold Seal warranties that provide for warranty coverage beyond those defined under general warranties. Gold seal warranties are displayed on the product description pages in our on-line store.

For products with a Two Year Gold Seal Warranty, Light-O-Rama warrants to the first end-user all hardware and parts thereof against defects in material and workmanship for a period of two years from the date of purchase. This warranty covers all components of a product including but not limited to pixels, FM transmitters, etc. Failures that fall under “Warranty Exclusions” are not covered by this warranty. |

For products with a One Year Gold Seal Warranty, Light-O-Rama warrants to the first end-user all hardware and parts thereof against defects in material and workmanship for a period of one year from the date of purchase. This warranty covers all components of a product including but not limited to pixels, FM transmitters, etc. Failures that fall under “Warranty Exclusions” are not covered by this warranty. Repairs for One Year Gold Seal Warranty Items are free; Light-O-Rama may choose to replace instead of repair a Warranty item depending on the time of year. |

For products with a Gold Seal Limited Lifetime Controller Warranty, Light-O-Rama will replace the controller board portion of a product that has been sent in for repair for reduced percentage of the current regular price of the controller board if the Light-O-Rama Repairs Department first determines that the controller is non-repairable for reasonable use. The controller must first be sent in for attempted repair. This warranty policy only applies to the first end-user of the controller (original order number required). Only the controller board portion of a product or package is covered by this warranty. The controller is the electronic device that is plugged into a power source and a data cable and provides one or more outputs to "control" an electric device. Specifically, with a package that contains the controller board, enclosure, power supply, floods, RGB ribbons, RGB pixels, RGB bulbs, etc. only the controller circuit board portion is covered by this warranty. Failures that fall under "Warranty Exclusions," including customer misuse, are not covered by this warranty policy, regardless of any attempted repair. Water damage from any cause other than a faulty enclosure (that has improperly allowed moisture in) disqualifies a product from the limited lifetime warranty offer. |

All Light-O-Rama products come with a 30 day money back guarantee. This gold seal may be listed on a product page as a reminder but all products with or without this seal have this coverage. Any undamaged and unopened Light-O-Rama product may be returned within 30 days of purchase for a full refund of the price paid for the product returned, not including shipping charges. Within 30 days of purchase, if the product has been opened but is unused, and is still in working condition, there will be a 3-5% restocking/repackaging charge based on the condition of the item and its packaging upon return. The customer is responsible for the cost of shipping to return the products. Opened items may not be returned after 30 days have passed. Opened and actively used items for any light show may not be returned under the 30 Day Money Back Guarantee policy. Digital products or items containing digital products (such as SD cards with pre-set playlist) may not be returned under any circumstances once they have been opened and/or downloaded. |
Warranty Replacement
The first end-user (original purchaser) must contact the Light-O-Rama help desk to obtain an RMA number for warranty replacement and provide their order number for the product. At this time it will be determined if the device is covered by warranty or if the device has been destroyed by an event covered in “Warranty exclusions” such as flooding.
During year one of warranty coverage, Light-O-Rama will ship a new replacement device to the end-user and a shipping label for the return of the defective product if Light-O-Rama determines the product cannot be repaired in a reasonable amount of time and the customer has not made alterations to the product or attempted to repair the product themselves. The defective product must be returned within 60 days of receipt of the warranty replacement or the customer will be invoiced for the replacement. In the event that the defective device falls under one of the warranty exclusions, Light-O-Rama will contact the customer to collect the appropriate payment. If the customer has altered or attempted repair of the product, the repair may be considered out of warranty at the discretion of Light-O-Rama (based on the extent of the alterations).
During year two of a two year warranty guarantee, Light-O-Rama will ship/email the customer a return shipping label for the defective device. When received, the unit will be repaired or replaced at Light-O-Rama’s discretion and returned. If the customer has altered or attempted repair of the product, the repair may be considered out of warranty at the discretion of Light-O-Rama (based on the extent of the alterations).
The end-user is not responsible for shipping charges for any device under a 1 Year or 2 Year warranty (with the exception of situations that call under "Warranty Exclusions"). Emergency replacement situations where a new unit is shipped before the returned unit is received can be accommodated when practical, but a credit card must be supplied. The credit card will be charged for the new unit if Light-O-Rama does not receive the returned unit within 15 days or the returned unit’s failure falls under the “Warranty exclusions” below.
Warranty Exclusions

This includes damage from moisture (flooding, rain, dew, snow) caused by improper installation or usage (including but not limited to: equipment being improperly exposed to the environment or connectors lying in snow/wet grass).
