Policies and Warranties

LifeProof is dedicated to bringing you the latest technology in high quality waterproof and shockproof iPhone cases and accessories. Your LifeProof case and LifeProof accessories boast a full 30-Day Satisfaction Guarantee policy. All LifeProof products may be returned within 30 days of purchase, to ensure that customer satisfaction is made on every purchase.

Your LifeProof products are warranted for 90 days. For the LifeProof case, your warranty may be extended up to 365 days by validating the warranty. If a material or workmanship defect arises and a valid claim is received within the Warranty (90 days) or Extended Warranty (365 days) Period, LifeProof will replace the case or accessory only. Warranty validation and extension includes the steps of registering your purchase, watching various informative videos, and filling out a questionnaire thereafter. LifeProof cannot be held liable for damages to personal property due to misuse or improper care and maintenance of case and O-ring seals.

Policies

Purchase using Credit Card

When you place your order using a credit card, LifeProof authorizes your purchase by verifying that your card has the available funds. Your credit card provider sets aside those funds so you may not spend them on anything else. LifeProof then "captures" or takes the funds for purchased items only after they ship. Please note that if your purchase does not complete for any reason, such as your card being declined by our Card Processor or your bank, the set-aside funds may continue to be unavailable for you to spend for several days, but will not be taken by LifeProof.

Purchase using PayPal

When you place your order using PayPal, the purchase amount is deducted from your PayPal-associated account immediately.

Return and Exchange of LifeProof Products

We will accept returns within 30 days of the original purchase if the product was purchased directly from LifeProof. Credits will be issued in the form of a refund to the Credit Card used for the original purchase. Refunds are for product only, as shipping charges are non-refundable for non-warranted returns.

You will be asked the reason for your return and you will need to provide your original order number. Accordingly, please have this information easily available.

You will receive your Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) via e-mail which will include your RMA# as well as instructions for the return.

Accordingly, to return an item you must notify LifeProof within thirty (30) days of receipt of your order to obtain a return merchandise authorization (RMA). LifeProof cannot accept packages without an RMA number. RMA number must be clearly marked on the outside of the box. The product must be received by us, in the original condition, with a full description of why the merchandise was returned, with respect to the product(s) with-in fifteen (15) business days of the notification. We will refund your merchandise purchase price, less shipping and a 15% percent restocking fee. We will not accept merchandise returned COD or returned without an RMA number. All parts returned must be in the original and resalable condition in the original packaging. You must use an insured carrier service with a tracking number. Please provide us with return information when available. Refunds should appear typically with-in 5-7 days on your credit card statement. Returning a product without an RMA number waives our responsibility of having to issue a refund, even if proof of delivery is available, due to our inability to match your purchase with the return; consequently leading to your loss of both the merchandise and any refund.

Please contact Customer Service by Phone (USA Toll Free 1-888-533-0735, Direct Dial & International +1-858-810-8300) or Fax (+1-858-565-4282) or use one of the options on our Support Page to obtain a Return Merchandise Authorization number. Please allow 5-7 business days after receipt of your return for your credit to be issued. You will receive an e-mail confirmation of the credit once it has been issued.

Our Customer Service Experts are here to assist you with any questions you may have about our products and the warranties covering the same. Your satisfaction is our number one priority.

Liability

LifeProof shall not be liable for any consequential, incidental and contingent damages arising from, but not limited to, the sale, installation, use or repair of its products. LifeProof warranty does not, under any circumstance, cover the replacement or cost of any electronic device or personal property inside or outside of the case. Notwithstanding any other provision of this agreement, LifeProofs' maximum combined liability shall be limited to the cost for the specific product only.

Damaged Items

Inspect your parcel carefully. If you receive an item damaged, notify the delivery company immediately. Do not discard any of the box, shipping label, packing material, or broken items. The delivery company must pickup the damaged goods and provide you with a claim number. You may provide us the claim number so we can follow up on the claim status - this may take up to several weeks. We are unable to send our replacement items until the claim is approved, or a payment is made for the 2nd shipment. We will issue a refund to your account promptly upon receiving reimbursement from the shipper.

Backorders

Backorders will be shipped when they become available. Some items may require prepayment.

Delivery Delays

Some items in the store may not be in stock and may have to be provided from our factory. Therefore, the shipping method you have chosen only pertains to merchandise leaving our location in San Diego, CA to your desired destination. Delivery from our manufacturer to our San Diego location is sometimes unpredictable. If your product is knowingly delayed for any reason we will try to contact you, otherwise the product will ship as soon as we receive it.
