Refund & Return Policy

Last updated: 14 August 2026


3.1 Return Window

You may request a return within fourteen (14) days of the date you receive your order. Requests submitted after this period cannot be accepted.

EU Consumers: If you are a consumer resident in the European Union, you have a statutory right to withdraw from your purchase within 14 days of receiving the goods, without giving any reason. This statutory right applies in addition to, and is not limited by, the other provisions of this policy.

3.2 Condition of Returned Goods

To be eligible for a return, the product must be:

  • unused, or used only to the extent necessary to inspect it;
  • in its original condition, free from damage, modification, or wear;
  • returned complete with all modules, accessories, cables, and original packaging.

Products that have been disassembled, modified, or damaged through misuse are not eligible for return.

Indicators that a product has been used beyond inspection purposes include, but are not limited to: wear or scuff marks on straps, housings, or contact points; residue, odor, or skin contact marks inconsistent with an unboxed and unused item; removal or damage of protective films on functional components; or missing original packaging materials and accessories.

3.3 How to Request a Return

Email support@hiddendoor.tech with your order number and the reason for return. We will respond within three (3) business days with return authorisation and shipping instructions. Returns sent without prior authorisation will not be accepted. Where a return is requested on the grounds of a defect, we may request supporting evidence such as photographs, video, or a description of the specific technical failure observed, to confirm the return qualifies under Section 3.5a.

3.4 Return Shipping Costs

  • Change of mind / no longer required: return shipping, import duties, and any customs charges are borne by the buyer. The original outbound shipping cost is non-refundable.
  • Defective or incorrect item: we bear all return shipping costs and will refund the original shipping cost in full.

A restocking fee of 15% of the product price may be deducted from the refund for change-of-mind returns where the original packaging has been opened. This fee does not apply where the buyer is exercising the EU statutory withdrawal right described above.

3.5a Definition of Defect

For the purposes of this policy, a "defect" means a failure of the product to perform its stated technical function under normal use conditions — for example, failure to power on, failure of a module to pair or transmit signal, or physical malfunction of a component. A defect does not include: variation in perceived range, sensitivity, or performance arising from the user's technique, skill level, venue acoustics, environmental conditions, or subjective expectations of the performance experience. As SONAR is a professional performance tool whose real-world effect depends significantly on the operator's skill and the performance context, differences in subjective outcome do not, by themselves, constitute a defect.

3.5 Refund Processing

Once the returned product is received and inspected, we will notify you of the outcome within five (5) business days. Approved refunds are issued to the original payment method within ten (10) business days. The time for funds to appear in your account depends on your card issuer or wallet provider.

3.6 Warranty

SONAR products carry a 12-month limited warranty from the date of delivery, covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. The warranty does not cover damage caused by misuse, unauthorised repair, modification, liquid ingress, or normal wear of consumable parts such as batteries and straps.

3.7 Non-Returnable Items

Custom-configured orders, promotional bundles marked as final sale, and products purchased at live events where the buyer has physically inspected the product prior to purchase are not eligible for change-of-mind returns, but remain covered by the warranty in Section 3.6.
