PRODUCTS UNDER WARRANTY

Manufacturer Warranty:

Most products are covered by Creality's manufacturer warranty for 12 months from the date of delivery. Major components (motherboard, motor, screen display, hotbed) are covered for the full 12 months. Consumable and wear parts (e.g. nozzles, extruders) carry a shorter warranty of 3-6 months, and are not covered under the standard 12-month term.

Products can be returned if they are faulty, defective, not fit for their intended purpose, or do not match the description. These must be returned in their original packaging with labels intact.
A defective product is one with a material imperfection that affects its use or safety. This does not include damage caused by misuse.
Warranties do not cover:
Fair wear and tear.
Damage due to environmental factors (e.g., fire, floods).
Damage from improper use or unauthorized repairs.
