Draft Notice — Business Terms Pending Confirmation PRE-RELEASE HARDWARE

Return windows, international restocking policies, customs duty reimbursements, and regional reverse logistics centers will be officially finalized prior to production hardware shipment. No fabricated guarantees, unconditional warranties, or legally binding merchant promises are implied by this illustrative operational draft.

SECTION 01 RFC-DEF-71

Scope: Software vs. Hardware

Because Agent Deck operates both an open developer workstation suite and physical high-precision hardware consoles, cancellation and return mechanisms are partitioned strictly by asset tier:

terminal
FREE FOREVER

Desktop Application

The Agent Deck Desktop Application is a 100% complimentary developer runtime tool. Because there are no licensing charges, recurring seats, or usage meters, no software refund mechanism is applicable.

developer_board
PHYSICAL CONSOLE

The Deck Hardware

Applies exclusively to physical manufactured goods: The Deck console, braided high-bandwidth USB-C interconnect cables, replacement hot-swap key switches, and official tactile desk accessories.

SECTION 02 ORDER-CANCEL-FLOW

Pre-Order & Pre-Release Hardware Reservations

Prior to physical manufacturing packaging and fulfillment dispatch from our logistics centers, any pre-order hardware reservation placed through the official Agent Deck checkout portal may be canceled at any point without friction or penalty.

100% REFUND
Zero-Fee Pre-Dispatch Cancellation Guarantee

Full 100% reimbursement to your original payment method (credit card, Apple Pay, or cryptocurrency processor). No restocking penalties or processing deductions are applied to unshipped reservation queues.

SECTION 03 STD-DESK-EVAL

Hardware Evaluation & Return Eligibility

We intend for system architects to feel the mechanical damping of each rotary knob and the crisp actuations of the mechanical switches directly in their production workflow. Once customer orders are delivered, customers will receive an evaluation window.

Standard Window
30 Calendar Days

From confirmed carrier delivery scan to return dispatch request. (Subject to final merchant confirmation upon general release).

Product Condition
Factory Integrity

Console must be free of intentional cosmetic scuffs, deep scratches, liquid residue, or stripped casing chassis fasteners.

SECTION 04 HW-QC-WARRANTY

Defective or Damaged Units (Hardware Warranty)

Every Agent Deck console undergoes calibrated hardware line-testing before serialization. In the unlikely event that your controller exhibits factory assembly anomalies upon initial unboxing, you are entitled to zero-cost expedited hardware replacement or localized module repair.

monitor OLED Display

Stuck pixels, matrix sync flickering, or dead row driver lines on the telemetry panel.

tune Rotary Detents

Non-responsive encoder stepping, continuous signal slippage, or physical axis wobble.

keyboard Cherry MX Switches

Chatter, unseated hot-swap sockets, or microswitch actuation disconnects.

SECTION 05 RMA-STEPS-PROTO

Return Process & Packaging Guidelines

To ensure zero friction during transit inspection, all returns must adhere to our standardized Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) protocol:

01
Initiate Claim via Support

Dispatch an inquiry to support@agentdeck.example containing your original order reference string, device serial number, and reason for return.

02
Acquire RMA Identifier

Receive an authenticated Return Merchandise Authorization slip with regional fulfillment center routing labels.

03
Secure Repackaging

Place the controller into its custom moulded foam insert inside the structural packaging box to safeguard mechanical encoder stems from lateral impacts.

04
Carrier Dispatch

Hand off package to an authorized trackable shipping carrier (DHL, FedEx, UPS). Retain the tracking code until delivery receipt is signed.

SECTION 06 BANK-SETTLE-72H

Refund Settlement & Payment Methods

Upon intake verification at our fulfillment inspection depot, returned hardware is assessed for completeness and functional integrity within 48 operational hours. Once approved, the refund instruction is immediately sent to your card issuer or payment gateway.

SECTION 07 VOID-CONDITIONS

Exclusions & Unauthorized Modifications

While Agent Deck advocates for right-to-repair and transparent developer access, return eligibility and warranty replacement are voided if units display conditions caused by negligence or external electrical overrides:

water_damage
Fluid & Corrosion Spills, high condensation submersion, or oxidation across surface copper leads.
bolt
Power Rail Overvoltage Burned components from uncertified non-compliant high-wattage power supplies over USB-C.

PCB Soldering Hacks Unauthorized manual soldering, severed traces, or aftermarket micro-controller swaps.

Structural Impact Damage Crushed aluminum chassis, shattered encoder stems, or deliberate structural drops.
