Replacement Policy

Our Replacement-First Resolution Model

Every device undergoes extensive diagnostic testing, quality control, cosmetic grading, authentication, and functionality verification before dispatch. Because each refurbished unit is unique, this Policy explains exactly when a replacement, refund, or other resolution may be provided.

Everything you should know about replacements.

01
Product Categories

Products sold by FeelsBrandNew fall into the following categories. The condition of every product is clearly disclosed on the product page and invoice.

💻

A. Refurbished Devices

  • Apple MacBooks, iPhones & iPads
  • Microsoft Surface Devices
  • Dell, Lenovo & HP Laptops
  • Tiny PCs & Refurbished Tablets
🔌

B. Brand-New Products

  • AI Glasses
  • Bluetooth & NFC Speakers
  • Chargers, Cables & Adapters
  • Accessories & other new tech
📦

C. Open-Box, Unused & Sealed

Packaging or seal condition alone does not determine functionality, quality, warranty eligibility, or fitness for purpose — a product isn't defective just because packaging was opened, unsealed, or shows signs of prior handling.

02
Replacement-First Resolution Policy

FBN follows a Replacement-First Resolution Model. Where an eligible issue is verified under this Policy, the Company will first attempt to provide a replacement solution before considering any other remedy.

The Company reserves the right to determine the most appropriate resolution, including:

  • Like-for-like replacement
  • Equivalent replacement
  • Repair, where the issue can be effectively resolved without replacement
  • Dispatch of missing accessories
  • Store credit
  • Refund, where replacement is not reasonably possible
03
Eligible Return & Replacement Reasons
⚠️ Feels Brand New operates a strict No-Return policy on all products. All sales are final. Returns, replacements, or refunds are permitted only in the circumstances below, subject to verification.
🔴

A. Dead on Arrival

Does not power on, does not charge, cannot boot into the OS, or is completely unusable upon delivery.

⚙️

B. Verified Functional Defect

A material hardware defect substantially impairs normal use — e.g. display, touchscreen, charging, motherboard, camera, keyboard, trackpad, speaker, or port failure.

📦

C. Wrong Product Delivered

The delivered product materially differs from what was ordered — wrong model, storage, RAM, processor, or colour.

D. Missing Item

An accessory specifically listed in the product description is missing from the package.

🚚

E. Transit Damage

Reported within 24 hours of delivery with an uninterrupted unboxing video showing the sealed package, shipping label, opening process, and damaged condition.

🎨

F. Cosmetic Grade Mismatch

Delivered condition is materially inconsistent with the cosmetic grade represented in the listing. Normal wear and disclosed variations don't qualify.

Failure to report transit damage within 24 hours, or failure to provide the required unboxing video, renders the claim ineligible. No transit damage claim is entertained after the product has been used, activated, installed, configured, or put into service.
04
Non-Eligible Reasons

The following do not constitute valid grounds for return, replacement, or refund:

🙅

Buyer-Side Reasons

  • Change of mind or buyer's remorse
  • Lower price found elsewhere
  • Accidental or duplicate order
  • Gift recipient or subjective dissatisfaction
  • Subsequent discounts, offers, or price changes
💻

Software & Usage

  • App incompatibility or unsupported software
  • Corporate, school, or employer restrictions
  • User-created software or account issues
  • Virus, malware, forgotten passwords, locked accounts
🔧

Wear, Damage & Tampering

  • Normal wear consistent with disclosed grading
  • User-induced or liquid damage after delivery
  • Battery swelling from misuse or overcharging
  • Unauthorized repairs, rooting, or firmware changes
  • Serial/IMEI mismatch or fabricated evidence
📶

Performance & Accessories

  • Wireless/Bluetooth/NFC/Wi-Fi performance variation
  • Sound, bass, or latency preferences
  • Cable fraying, bent pins, or misuse damage
  • Battery performance vs. manufacturer estimates
Except in the limited circumstances set out under "Eligible Return & Replacement Reasons," all sales are final and all products are deemed non-returnable, non-refundable, and non-exchangeable.
05
Mandatory Unboxing Video Requirement

A continuous, unedited, uninterrupted unboxing video is mandatory for claims involving transit damage, wrong item received, missing accessories, or physical condition disputes.

The video must:

  • Begin before opening the package
  • Clearly show the shipping label
  • Show all sides of the package
  • Capture the entire opening process
  • Show all included accessories and the physical condition of the product
  • Clearly show the alleged issue
⚠️ Edited, incomplete, or interrupted videos may not be accepted.
06
Inspection & Verification

All claims are subject to verification. FeelsBrandNew may conduct remote diagnostics, request additional evidence, verify serial and IMEI numbers, inspect the returned product, and perform technical testing.

Customers must provide: Order number and invoice copy.

Approval of a return request does not automatically mean the claim is accepted. Final eligibility is determined after inspection and verification.
07
Serial Number & Component Authentication

Prior to dispatch, FBN records IMEI numbers, serial numbers, hardware identifiers, cosmetic condition, internal quality reports, device photographs, security markings, and component specifications.

If a returned device contains substituted parts, missing components, altered serial numbers, tampered security markings, or does not match dispatch records, the claim is rejected immediately and the product may be returned to the customer at their expense.

08
Like-for-Like Replacement

Where available, FeelsBrandNew will provide a replacement matching product category, brand, model, screen size, storage capacity, RAM configuration, processor category, and cosmetic grade.

09
Equivalent Replacement

Because refurbished inventory is unique, identical replacements may not always be available. Where an identical unit is unavailable, FeelsBrandNew may provide an equivalent replacement matching device category, intended functionality, screen size range, storage, RAM, processor class, and cosmetic grade.

FeelsBrandNew does not guarantee identical serial numbers, IMEI numbers, manufacturing dates, battery health beyond the disclosed minimum, cosmetic markings, or internal component manufacturers. An equivalent replacement constitutes full resolution of the approved claim.

10
Refunds

Refunds may be offered only when repair is not feasible, replacement is unavailable, or an equivalent replacement is unavailable. Refunds are processed through the original payment method wherever possible.

Shipping charges, payment gateway fees, convenience fees, and non-refundable service charges may be deducted where permitted by law.
11
Refurbished Device Disclosures

Customers acknowledge that refurbished products are pre-owned devices that have been tested, restored, and certified for resale. Normal signs of prior use consistent with the disclosed cosmetic grade — minor scratches, scuffs, keyboard shine, light casing marks, minor paint wear — are not defects and do not qualify for return or replacement.

12
Battery Policy

Battery health is assessed according to the minimum threshold disclosed on the product page. Performance may vary depending on usage patterns, charging habits, environmental conditions, and software updates. Natural battery degradation does not constitute a defect.

Battery health percentage alone shall not constitute grounds for replacement where the battery meets the minimum threshold disclosed in the product listing.
13
Brand-New Products

AI Glasses, Bluetooth Speakers, NFC Speakers, Chargers, Cables, Adapters, and Accessories are sold as brand-new products.

🔒

Becomes Non-Returnable Once

Activated, registered, paired, configured, used, or security seals removed — for hygiene, security, and anti-tampering reasons.

May Be Returned For

Dead on Arrival, manufacturing defects, transit damage, or wrong product delivered. Opened products functioning correctly are generally not returnable.

14
AI Glasses Disclaimer

AI functionality may depend on third-party services, cloud infrastructure, internet connectivity, manufacturer updates, subscription services, or regional availability. Changes, interruptions, restrictions, or discontinuation of AI services by manufacturers or service providers do not constitute product defects.

15
Bluetooth & NFC Product Disclaimer

Wireless performance may vary based on device compatibility, operating system versions, environmental interference, network conditions, or firmware versions. Such variations do not constitute defects unless caused by a verified hardware failure.

16
Data Responsibility

Customers are solely responsible for backing up and removing personal data. FeelsBrandNew shall not be responsible for data loss, corruption, recovery of deleted files, loss of photographs, software, or licenses, or any consequential losses or business interruption resulting from data loss.

17
Activation Locks & Account Locks

Returned devices must be free from iCloud Lock, Apple Activation Lock, Google Lock, Microsoft Account Lock, PIN locks, passwords, and enterprise management profiles. Devices returned with active locks may be rejected.

Devices that remain linked to, enrolled in, or restricted through any company, corporate, educational, governmental, enterprise, or third-party administrative management system are not eligible for inspection, replacement, refund, or warranty service until such restrictions are fully removed.
18
Tampering & Unauthorised Repairs

Returns may be rejected if device opening, component replacement, unauthorised repairs, liquid damage, physical abuse, jailbreaking, firmware modification, or third-party servicing is detected. Products modified through unauthorized software changes, security bypasses, or unofficial firmware are not eligible for replacement, refund, or warranty coverage.

19
Product Swapping & Fraud Prevention

Every device is recorded using serial numbers, IMEI numbers, asset identifiers, internal inventory records, and product photographs. Claims involving mismatched devices, substituted components, false statements, fabricated evidence, part swapping, intentional damage, or identity fraud will be rejected.

The Company may maintain internal risk-management records, decline future transactions from customers engaged in abusive conduct, and reserves the right to report suspected fraud to relevant authorities.
20
Chargeback & Payment Disputes

Customers agree to first allow FeelsBrandNew a reasonable opportunity to investigate and resolve any issue before initiating a payment dispute or chargeback. Fraudulent or bad-faith chargeback claims may be contested using order, delivery, and inspection records, device identifiers, and customer communications.

21
Force Majeure

Replacement and resolution timelines may be extended due to events beyond the Company's reasonable control, including natural disasters, wars, floods, earthquakes, pandemics, government actions, customs delays, transportation disruptions, cybersecurity incidents, supplier shortages, strikes, or labour disputes.

22
Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company's total liability shall not exceed the purchase price actually paid by the customer for the product giving rise to the claim. The Company shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages.

23
Customer's Statutory Rights

Nothing in this Policy limits any rights that cannot lawfully be excluded under applicable consumer protection laws.

24
Final Decision

All claims are subject to inspection, technical verification, fraud screening, and compliance review. FeelsBrandNew reserves the right to approve, reject, or propose an alternative resolution based on the specific facts of each case.

25
Policy Amendments

The Company reserves the right to amend, revise, or withdraw this Policy at any time without prior notice. The version in effect at the time of purchase governs the customer's claim. It is the customer's responsibility to review this Policy before making a purchase. Continued use of the platform following any amendment constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
