I. Return Policy
Users (or “you”) may return their HOVERAir orders within fifteen (15) calendar days of receiving the product. If the product is in unopened, factory-sealed condition, no restocking fee applies, and HOVERAir will cover the standard return shipping costs (subject to the exclusions set forth in Section VII.2 below). If the product has been opened and inspected but remains in resalable condition with all original accessories and packaging intact, HOVERAir will process a refund less applicable return shipping costs and restocking fees as detailed in Section III below. Please note that standard return shipping costs cover regular delivery zones only; remote area surcharges, if any, shall be borne by the user (see Section VII.2(d) for details).
HOVERAir (or “we”, “us”) will refund the purchase price of the product, subject to the deductions set forth in this Section I and Section III below. When returning a product purchased from HOVERAir, please keep in mind the following important points:
-
Product Condition: Users must ensure that the returned products maintain their original quality, functionality, and appearance, with all trademarks and labels intact. If the product is damaged by the user, or if the packaging box or any accessories are missing, the return will not be accepted.
-
Valid Purchase Receipt: Users must present a valid purchase receipt when returning the item. Any accompanying gifts should also be returned.
-
Refund Processing: The refund of the paid amount will be processed within seven (7) days from the date of receiving the returned goods. The refund will be made using the same payment method. The exact date of the refund may be subject to factors such as banks and payment institutions.
-
Non-refund: Products that show wear and tear beyond what is reasonably expected from inspection (e.g., excessive scratches, dents, or missing parts) will not be eligible for a full refund. If a return occurs under these conditions, you will be responsible for all costs associated with the return.
-
Manufacturing Defects: If any manufacturing defects occur within the first fifteen (15) days and these failures are confirmed by warehouse inspection, HOVERAir will refund all costs incurred during this return or exchange, including shipping. No restocking fee or return shipping costs shall be charged for confirmed manufacturing defect returns, regardless of activation status.
II. Return Request
Without prejudice to the terms and conditions set forth in this Policy, you must request a return by following the steps outlined below:
-
Please contact us at
[email protected] or use our return portal (if available for your address) to obtain return instructions. The email or portal submission must include the order number, the reason for the return and the device serial number (if applicable to your return reason).
-
To protect your interests, we recommend using FedEx for the return shipment.
-
After sending the package, please keep the return tracking number and the return receipt for the package you are returning to ensure that it reaches our warehouse. When necessary (e.g., if we have not received your returned item), please provide the receipt and any relevant documents. Failure to do so may result in us being unable to process your return.
-
Once HOVERAir has issued a return shipping label to you, you must ship the returned product within seven (7) calendar days of receiving the label. Failure to ship within this timeframe will result in the automatic closure of your return request and forfeiture of the refund for that product. If you are unable to ship within the 7-day period due to extenuating circumstances, please contact HOVERAir Support before the deadline for a possible extension, which HOVERAir may grant in its reasonable discretion upon verification. To return the product after the deadline, you must contact HOVERAir Support to submit a new return request, which will be subject to the policy terms then in effect (including any applicable restocking fees and shipping costs).

-

-
Return Shipping Costs & Remote Area Surcharge
-
Standard Return Shipping: For eligible returns under Section III.1 (unactivated product within 15 days), HOVERAir will cover the standard return shipping costs.
-
Prepayment by User: In all other return scenarios (e.g., after 15 days, activated product, or non-defective returns), users need to pay freight fees in advance.
-
(d) Remote Area / Extended Delivery Area Surcharge
If the customer’s shipping address is classified by the carrier (e.g., FedEx, UPS, USPS) as a Remote Area, Extended Delivery Area, or any equivalent designation that incurs an additional surcharge beyond standard shipping rates, such surcharge shall be non-refundable for returns where the user is responsible for return shipping costs under Section III.2 (i.e., activated product returns) and for personal reason returns under Section III.1. This exclusion does not apply to confirmed manufacturing defect returns under Section I.5, for which all shipping costs, including remote area surcharges, shall be covered by HOVERAir.
Examples of remote areas for US shipments include, but are not limited to:
-
Alaska and Hawaii
-
Remote rural areas, islands, or extended zones as defined by the carrier (e.g., FedEx Remote Area, UPS Extended Delivery Area)
HOVERAir reserves the right to deduct any such remote area surcharge actually incurred from the refund amount, or require the customer to bear that portion of the shipping cost directly. For returns where HOVERAir covers standard return shipping costs (unactivated, non-defective returns under Section III.1), the deduction of remote area surcharges from the refund is limited to the actual surcharge amount incurred by the carrier and does not apply to standard shipping costs, which remain covered by HOVERAir.
It is the customer’s responsibility to check the shipping address classification before placing an order. Please refer to our
Shipping Policy for region-specific delivery terms, or visit the carrier’s official website (FedEx, UPS, USPS) for their remote area definitions and lookup tools.
-
HOVERAir does not take responsibility for additional costs or time incurred by a wrong address, delayed dispatch, or lost deliveries.
-
Regarding replacement, HOVERAir is only responsible for repairing or replacing faulty parts of the product.
-
Users can obtain warranty service only at a designated HOVERAir service center in the region where users purchase the product. However, depending on stock availability, HOVERAir has its discretion to decide that users may obtain cross-regional replacement product.
-
If users in Region A want to send their products to a designated HOVERAir service center in Region B without informing HOVERAir, the users duty, customs clearance, and other costs incurred will be covered by the users.
-
