⚖️ Seller Warranty & Marketplace Dispute Conciliation

Initiate a warranty claim if the switch exhibits operational failure that cannot be resolved through self-help steps, such as the device not powering on even with confirmed power, the relay not responding to any command (manual or remote) after reset attempts, or if there is clear evidence of a manufacturing defect in the sealing or internal components causing malfunction. Contact the seller for warranty service and to review the marketplace return policy.
