  • The 30 days are calculated from the date of when your order was dispatched.
  • A refund of the Purchase Price will be processed to your original payment method once your Looking Glass has been received by our team in Hong Kong.
  • All shipping costs are non refundable. Duties/VAT/customs fees are non reimbursable.
  • Please note, refunds will be calculated as: [Total payment of the order] minus [shipping + tax + return shipping costs].

Looking Glass Factory reserves the right to deny a refund, or review these terms on a case by case basis, if the product does not meet our return policy requirements.

How do I process a refund?

  1. Please contact support@lookingglassfactory.com with your Order Number and the date in which your Looking Glass arrived
  2. We might ask for some feedback and additional information! But once we have checked that your order meets the return policy requirements, we will issue you a pre-paid return label for the product(s).
  3. Please make sure you follow the return instructions and schedule a pick up date and time with the courier.
  4. As soon as the item is returned and quickly checked for usability by our engineering team, we will process a refund.
  5. Do allow for up to 20 working days for your refund to be processed depending on your original payment method.
  6. Please note that shipping fees associated with your original order are non-refundable. We will also be subtracting the return shipping fees from your refund if you choose to use our courier.

Warranty

Looking Glass Factory warranty is active for 12 months from the date in which your order was dispatched.

This does warrant against:

  • All of the hardware and accessories, purchased from https://lookingglassfactory.com,
  • And included in its original packaging against any defects in materials
  • And when used as instructed in the manual

This does not warrant against:

  • Normal wear and tear
  • Product misuse
  • Accidental damage, or damage caused by any software or hardware modifications to the products (this includes but not limited to modifications of hardware, replacing parts, taking apart the unit, or other unauthorized changes that will void this Limited Warranty).

Warranty Extension with Registration

All customers who purchase a new Looking Glass product and then complete device registration will receive a 1-month warranty extension added on to their standard Warranty as stated above in the policy.

  • This does not apply to products of which the standard warranty has expired. (But customers can still complete device registration.)
  • Looking Glass Factory reserves the right to update or modify these terms and conditions of this program.

If you have any questions about the warranty extension on offer, please write to support@lookingglassfactory.com.

Replacements & Repairs Process

If you are having any trouble or are experiencing problems with your Looking Glass, please first contact support@lookingglassfactory.com. We may refer you to our engineering teams for troubleshooting (either software or hardware depending on your problem) and issue a replacement if required.

  • If your warranty is still active, and is within the terms eligible for warranty, please refer to the replacements section below.
  • If your warranty is no longer active, or your product is not eligible for warranty support, please refer to the out-of-warranty repairs section below..

Replacements

If Looking Glass Factory determines that a replacement is needed—provided your warranty is active—these are the steps our team will go through:

  1. You can send your faulty Looking Glass back to us with the pre-paid return label, and using the instructions provided to you.
  2. Before you send back your unit, please make sure you include the original packaging and all the components it originally came with.
  3. If the Looking Glass is not packaged properly and is damaged during shipping, this may incur extra costs
  4. Once we receive your faulty unit, our team will take another look at it and we’ll get a replacement sent to you.
  5. If your shipping address is within the United States or Hong Kong, Looking Glass will be responsible for all related shipping expenses.
  6. If your shipping address is outside of the United States or Hong Kong, our support team will work closely with you to work out the best delivery options available.

Out-of-Warranty Repairs

If your Looking Glass is a) out of its warranty period or b) is within the warranty period but is something we do not warrant against, please write to support@lookingglassfactory.com and we will review all requests on a case-by-case basis.

Additional shipping costs, costs associated with customs and imports, and VAT are at the expense of the customer.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

Our Privacy Policy may change, and when it does, we will post the new policy on our Site. Whenever a user visits the Site, the current version of the Privacy Policy applies.

What information do we collect?

  1. We collect information when you visit the Site or use our Products. We are able to track visitors to our Site and users of our Products. We collect information such as the browser type they are using, where they navigate and/or click, the time of their visit, their IP address, how they came to the Site (e.g. from a search engine, including what terms they may have used in their search), their approximate location in the world, certain anonymized behavior data, the kind of content a visitor imports (e.g. videos versus photos), how often they launch our apps, how long our apps are launched for, and so on. Much of this data is collected anonymously. We use this type of information for things like improving the flow of the Site, fixing any mistakes on the Site and to improve the experience of using our Products.
  2. We collect information you directly provide to us. Of course, we will have a record of any information you choose to provide to us, for example if you send us an email, apply for a job, purchase a Product, add your name to our mailing list, participate in our referral programs, follow us on social media, and so on. In any of these situations we will hold onto this data for our records, and this data may include, for example, your name, email address, shipping information, and any other data you provide, which may be personally identifiable either on its own or in combination with other data. In the case of our mailing list, we primarily use mailing list services provided by ActiveCampaign. Their privacy policy is here:https://www.activecampaign.com/legal/privacy-policy. If you sign up for our mailing list, you will receive occasional emails from us. Unless this policy says otherwise, if you email us, call us, or meet us at an event, we may also add you to our mailing list manually on our local or remote servers. You are free to unsubscribe from our mailing list at any time using the link in each of our mailings, or you can write to us at info@lookingglassfactory.com. In the case of processing purchases you made by credit card, we use third-party merchant services provided by Shopify. Shopify’s privacy policy is here:  https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy. In general, we will not retain the full details of your credit card – this will be held on to by the merchant service provider. We will, however, retain the last four digits of your card number in order to identify you and the first six digits to help with fraud prevention. In the case of social media, note that of course any information you share via social media channels may be accessible to the general public, and anyone may collect and store that data. If you submit photos to us in any social media context, you thereby grant us permission to use that photo in print or online/electronically for any lawful purposes. Note that if you share information with us on a public social media site, that information may be seen by the general public and any other person or entity might collect and keep that information for their own purposes.
  3. We also use third-party merchant services provided by ReferralCandy and PayPal to help us operate our referral programs. You can find the privacy policy for ReferralCandy at https://www.referralcandy.com/privacy/, and for PayPal at https://www.paypal.com/gi/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full.
  4. When you interact with us on social media Looking Glass Factory is active on a variety of social media platforms. Each of these platforms has its own privacy policy. For reference we link to some of these below. If you click any button on our Site that links to our social media accounts, we may collect information from you based on that action such as the types of information specified above.  Facebook, Twitter, Instagram,  Vimeo,  YouTube,LinkedIn.
  5. When you email us or otherwise communicate with us directly (for example with any questions, ideas, or feedback sent toinfo@lookingglassfactory.com or via other communications directly) we will hold on to your email address so we can respond to you. We may also retain a log of all communications with you indefinitely in order to have a history of our past communications and to better serve you, unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law.

You can write us at  info@lookingglassfactory.com  if you do not want us to share your information with any third parties. Otherwise, subject to any exceptions contained herein, we may share your information with reputable third parties with complementary products or services or who are vendors providing services to us. Other situations in which we may share your information include:

  1. Situations in which you give us permission to share your information
  2. Situations in which we share information with other companies under the same control as Looking Glass Factory, for example subsidiaries or joint ventures
  3. When we believe that we need to disclose that information to (a) investigate or resolve disputes or problems or non-compliance with our Terms of Service; (b) comply with laws or requests from government agencies or law enforcement e.g. relating to investigations into illegal activity, which may include disclosure of information without subpoenas or warrants being issued; (c) defend our rights including intellectual property rights of Looking Glass Factory or its affiliates or customers or other third parties; and/or (d) assist in enforcing the law or our Terms of Use or this Privacy Policy; and
  4. During or in connection with significant company restructuring or event such as merger, financing, acquisition, or bankruptcy.

We reserve the right to use and to disclose any information that is anonymized for any purpose. We may share our mailing list with reputable third parties who sell products or services complementary to our own. To opt out, please send an email toinfo@lookingglassfactory.com. We do share information with our vendors, as described in this policy, for the purposes described in this policy. These vendors are not authorized to use or disclose the information, other than to perform their services for us.

The same applies to vendors who operate services for us such as: our forums, our referral programs, our job application page, shipping, market research, and payment processing.

We share the information we collect with vendors, service providers, researchers and other partners, who work at our direction to support the Site and Products (such as hosting our Site, fulfilling orders, facilitating payments, analyzing the way people use our Site and Products, processing credit card payments, providing customer service, or sending electronic communications for us).

In the event that the ownership of Looking Glass Factory (or any portion of our assets) changes as a result of a merger, acquisition, or in the event of a bankruptcy, information from or about you or your Product may be transferred to another company.
