To protect your rights and avoid additional charges, please strictly follow the packaging guidelines below when returning products for after-sales service:
Within 14 calendar days from the next day after receipt, refund and return service can be provided if one of the following conditions is met:
✱If you buy products from platforms such as Amazon, eBay, Temu and so on, the refund and return request is subject to sales platform requirements.
1. Valid product manufacturing code, purchase certificate, order number, contract, invoice, etc. must be provided;
2. If customers request a return due to personal reasons such as dislike, unwanted purchase, wrong order, improper use, or dissatisfaction with the product, and meet the return and refund service policy requirements, they can apply for return and refund.

3.

The Standard Warranty Period applies to the core components of the main product unit, excluding consumable and wear-and-tear parts, and varies depending on the country or region of purchase:
| Business Type | Problem Category | Return Shipping Fee | Outbound Shipping Fee |
| Product Exchange Service | Non-quality issues | Customer-arranged | Factory-arranged |
| Quality issues | Factory-arranged | Factory-arranged | |
| Product Return Service | Non-quality issues | Customer-arranged | / |
| Quality issues | Factory-arranged | / |
Certain components are subject to normal wear during regular use and are covered by a Limited Warranty.
Wear-and-tear parts for FFF printers and multi-colour printing devices are covered by a 3-month Limited Warranty.
Wear-and-tear parts for resin printers, 3D scanners, and laser engravers are covered by a 6-month or 12-month limited warranty, depending on the product model.
Please refer to the warranty parts list for the applicable warranty period and the covered wear-and-tear parts for each product series.
Additional Information
FFF printers and multi-colour printing devices differ significantly from resin printers, 3D scanners, and laser engravers in terms of operating principles and applications. The Limited Warranty Period may vary among different product categories. For example, the UV laser module used in laser engravers operates at a shorter wavelength and higher energy level than blue or red laser modules. As a result, these components naturally experience a higher rate of wear and a shorter service life under comparable operating conditions.
This Warranty Policy does not cover:
Consumables are components or materials that naturally deteriorate or are consumed during normal use and therefore are not covered by a separate warranty.
Consumables include, but are not limited to, printing materials, cleaning accessories, lubricating grease, and other normal wear items. Please refer to the Warranty Parts List for details.
Accessories, gifts, promotional items, or other value-added items provided free of charge with the product are not covered under this warranty policy. Please refer to the Warranty Parts List for details.
Exception
If an item otherwise excluded from warranty coverage fails while the main product remains within the applicable Standard Warranty Period, and Creality's authorised after-sales inspection confirms that the failure resulted from a defect in materials or workmanship, Creality may, at its sole discretion, provide a replacement or another appropriate remedy. The final resolution shall be based on the official inspection results.
After-sales service within the warranty period must meet the following three conditions
a. From the date of product purchase, within the specified warranty period, under normal use conditions, the product experiences performance failures due to non-human factors;
b. There has been no unauthorized disassembly, no modifications or additions not guided by the official manual, and no malfunctions caused by other human factors.
c. Provide valid proof of purchase, serial number (SN), receipts and order numbers.
