Return Policy

If you are dissatisfied with your purchase for any reason, you may return it to Protected Trust within 14 days of the purchase date, subject to the conditions and exclusions below.

If your original item included free items, you must return all associated items for a full refund; the retail value of any free items you keep will be deducted from your reimbursement total.

Eligibility Conditions

Please read conditions below. If all conditions are not met, Protected Trust reserves the right to refuse the return or to charge a minimum 15% restocking fee. All returned items must be in new condition, in their original unaltered box (including an intact UPC code) and must include all packing material, blank warranty cards, manuals, accompanying free items and accessories. The retail value of any free items you keep will be deducted from your reimbursement total. Protected Trust can only refund the original purchase price. Shipping and handling fees are nonrefundable.

Original Packaging 

To be eligible for a return, your item must be unused and in the same condition that you received it. It must be in the original packaging, factory sealed.

In most cases, other than returns for store credit or special circumstances, you will be responsible for the cost of returning the item to us. This cost is prefixed when you process your return request and will be deducted from the refund total.

Simply return the eligible product in new condition and factory sealed, along with all parts, components, instruction manuals and documentation that were initially included.

There are certain situations where only partial refunds are granted (if applicable):

  • Any item not in its original condition is damaged or missing parts for reasons not due to our error.
  • Any item that is returned more than 14 days after delivery.
