Returns & Refunds
We want you to be happy with your gear. If something isn't right, our team is here to help.
Our products are high-value technical unmanned systems: drones, UGVs, quadrupeds, humanoids and related equipment. That's why strict return conditions apply, to protect product integrity and safety. By placing an order, you agree to this Refund & Return Policy. Here's how it works, in plain language.
