SERVICE POLICY

inibox Miner After-Sales Service Terms

Clear rules for warranty assessment, hardware maintenance, repair charges, shipping, and the return of ASIC mining equipment.

Effective date: May 20, 2026Applies worldwide
!
Please read these terms before submitting hardware for service.

By creating a repair request or sending equipment after receiving authorization, you confirm that you understand and accept these terms. Mandatory consumer rights in your country remain unaffected and take priority where the law requires.

01
FOUNDATION

Scope and Acceptance

These terms govern after-sales inspection, warranty handling, repair, replacement, firmware access, and return services supplied by inibox Miner.

Official Store Devices

Hardware purchased from our official store is registered to its serial record as part of fulfillment. Eligible devices receive the recorded warranty and lifetime access to compatible official firmware updates for the supported service life of the model.

External Devices

Hardware purchased from another supplier is outside our official sales and warranty chain. We may support it through a $49 out-of-warranty diagnostic service and a separate one-time $25 firmware registration service.

This distinction is necessary because external suppliers or unknown third parties may alter hardware components, controller settings, or firmware before resale. We guarantee the sales record, warranty administration, and supplied firmware chain for devices sold and registered by our official store; external devices require technical review and paid service.

A product-specific sales agreement, written quotation, or mandatory law may provide additional rights. If there is a conflict, the mandatory rule or specifically agreed written term prevails to the extent of that conflict.

No unauthorized shipment

Do not send hardware until a repair request has been reviewed and you have received a return destination and authorization reference.

CASE CREATION

Requesting Service

Create a repair request before shipping. Provide accurate contact details, model, complete serial number, order information where applicable, fault symptoms, operating conditions, device logs, and clear photographs when requested.

  • Remote diagnostic appointments are arranged with the Customer through English-language communication.
  • The Customer must install AnyDesk from its official website and be available to authorize the remote connection at the scheduled time. AnyDesk.
  • When the miner powers on and is network-connected, the Customer must use a computer connected to the same local network as the miner.
  • If the device does not power on or cannot connect to the network, Support will contact the Customer to agree an alternative diagnostic method. Beginner Customers will be guided through the required preparation.
  • A missed appointment should be reported as soon as possible. One reasonable rescheduling request may be accepted; repeated absence or failure to prepare the required access may close the session as delivered or require a new fee.
04
SAFE TRANSIT

Preparing and Shipping

After authorization, ship only to the location stated in the case. The Customer pays the inbound freight. For an accepted warranty case, inibox Miner pays standard return delivery after repair or replacement; no diagnosis, labor, parts, handling, packing or storage charge is applied to that accepted case.

Before Packing

Stop mining safely, remove pool and wallet credentials, retain diagnostic logs, and photograph the unit, serial labels and packaging.

Protect the Hardware

Use anti-static, moisture-resistant protection and strong double-wall packaging. Transit damage caused by inadequate Customer packing is not a product defect.

Accurate Documents

Use the authorization reference, actual item description and repair-return documents supplied with the case.

Customs Support

For retail orders of up to 10 devices, we coordinate the applicable return-clearance charges. Commercial cases above 10 devices follow the customs responsibilities in their quotation.

05
ELIGIBLE COVERAGE

Warranty Service

Eligible verified hardware is covered for 365 days from delivery, or activation for hosted hardware. Coverage includes manufacturing defects, unexplained internal failure, delivery damage and a unit received non-operational, subject to serial verification and inspection.

  • The Customer pays inbound transportation to the authorized service center.
  • We pay standard return transportation for an accepted warranty repair or replacement.
  • Repair or replacement is targeted within 10 business days after receipt.
  • Hosted hardware receives covered repair or equivalent hashrate replacement without an additional charge.

REGISTERED ACCESS

Firmware Access and Updates

Official Store Devices

Devices purchased from our official store are registered to their serial records during fulfillment and receive lifetime account access to compatible official firmware updates for the supported service life of the model without a separate firmware registration fee.

External Devices

A device purchased from another source may be registered once for $25. The registration is assigned to the Customer account and device serial and provides access to compatible firmware packages and later updates made available for that model during its supported service life.

External and older models may require an individual compatibility review before the first package is released. This review is necessary because resellers or unknown third parties may have altered the controller, hardware configuration, or installed firmware before the device reached the Customer.

  • The Customer may request a refund before the first compatible firmware package has been supplied or made available in the account.
  • Once the first compatible package is supplied or made available, the registration has been fulfilled and the fee is non-refundable.
  • If Support determines before release that no package can be supplied safely or compatibly because the device or its firmware was modified by an external party, the registration fee will be refunded and we may decline firmware service for that device.
  • Access is personal to the registered account and serial. Files may not be redistributed, resold, published, or installed on unrelated devices.

SERVICE LIMITS

Exclusions

Free warranty service does not cover a fault caused by the Customer or an external operating condition. An unrelated modification does not void the whole warranty unless it caused the fault or prevents reliable diagnosis.

  • Missing or deliberately altered serial identification that prevents verification.
  • Unauthorized component substitution, soldering or hardware modification that caused the reported fault.
  • Unofficial firmware, overclocking or altered voltage beyond rated limits that caused damage.
  • Incorrect electrical supply, grounding, wiring, coolant, airflow or operating environment.
  • Liquid, corrosion, impact, fire, surge, lightning, pests or other Customer-site damage.
  • Damage during a Customer-arranged warranty return caused by inadequate packaging. Damage during the original delivery remains covered by the Order Policy.
  • Incompatible power supplies, cables, parts or cooling equipment that caused the failure.
  • Counterfeit products or serial numbers not verified in our system.
  • Normal wear and expected performance variation that remains within specification.
08
TECHNICAL DECISION

Diagnosis and Resolution

inibox Miner may perform reasonable disassembly, testing, firmware verification, component-level inspection, and burn-in procedures to identify the fault. Inspection findings determine whether service is covered, chargeable, unavailable, or uneconomical.

To restore function efficiently, we may repair the original unit, replace individual parts, exchange a board, or provide an equivalent replacement unit. Replaced defective parts are not returned unless required by law or agreed in writing before service.

Performance after component repair

A repaired board may show small variations in hashrate, temperature, power draw, or component appearance while remaining within the accepted functional specification.

09
COMMERCIAL TERMS

Fees, Storage and Return

Accepted warranty service has no diagnosis, labor, parts, handling, packing or storage charge. An out-of-warranty quotation identifies every paid item and no additional paid work proceeds without approval.

Post-term storage rules for hosted devices appear in the Hosting Agreement: 90 days free, followed by $30.00 per device for each 30-day period after notices. Warranty repair cases are not converted into storage debt while an accepted repair is actively being completed.

10
RESPONSIBILITY

Data and Liability

Remove confidential information, pool credentials, wallet addresses, API keys, and personal data before shipment. Service can require resetting storage, replacing controllers, or installing approved firmware. We cannot guarantee preservation of device settings or data.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, responsibility for a proven loss or damage caused directly by our service is limited to the reasonable repair or replacement value of the affected product. We are not responsible for lost mining revenue, changes in coin value, pool rewards, business interruption, indirect loss, or loss caused by carriers, customs, inaccurate customer information, or events outside reasonable control.

Nothing in these terms excludes liability or customer remedies that cannot legally be excluded or limited.

11
FINAL PROVISIONS

General Terms

We may use authorized service providers and logistics partners to complete a case. Service records may be retained for support, fraud prevention, quality control, regulatory, and accounting purposes in accordance with applicable privacy requirements.

If one provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect. A delay in enforcing a right does not waive that right. The version accepted when the service case is created normally governs that case unless a mandatory legal rule requires otherwise.

These terms may be updated to reflect service operations, product changes, or legal requirements. The effective date at the top identifies the current version.
