1. Scope & Applicability

This Terms, Refund & Return Policy applies to all purchases made via theo.inc.
We sell to both consumers (individuals) and business customers (companies).
Certain statutory rights under European law apply only to consumers (B2C). Business customers (B2B) are subject to different terms as outlined below.

2. Definitions

• Consumer (B2C): An individual purchasing for personal use, not for business, trade, or professional purposes.

• Business Customer (B2B): Any company, partnership, or individual purchasing for business, trade, or professional purposes.

3. Statutory Rights for EU Consumers (B2C)

Right of Withdrawal (14-Day Cooling-Off Period):

• Consumers in the EU/EEA have the right to withdraw from their online purchase within 14 days of receiving the goods, for any reason or no reason.

• To exercise this right, notify us in writing within 14 days of delivery. You then have another 14 days to return the goods.

• We will refund the full purchase price, including standard shipping costs. You are responsible for return shipping unless otherwise agreed.

• Some items may be exempt from the right of withdrawal (e.g., custom-made products, sealed goods unsealed after delivery).

Legal Guarantee (2 Years):

• All goods sold to EU consumers are covered by a minimum 2-year legal guarantee against defects or non-conformity, starting from the date you receive the goods.

• If your item is faulty or not as described, you are entitled to free repair, replacement, or, if that is not possible, a full or partial refund.

4. Terms for Business Customers (B2B)

• The statutory 14-day right of withdrawal and 2-year legal guarantee do not apply to business customers.

• Returns, refunds, and warranty claims for B2B purchases are handled according to the specific terms below and any contractually agreed conditions.

• B2B customers may not return goods unless explicitly agreed in writing. Any returns must be pre-approved by Theo.inc and may be subject to restocking fees or other conditions.

5. Commercial Warranty (All Customers)

• All THEO products are warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use during the warranty period.

• Warranty covers the machine body, welding torch, and laser source (excluding accessories and quick-wear parts such as nozzles, protective windows, cables, and pipes).
