Talk2Me Returns and Refunds

Eligible physical products purchased directly from Talk2Me may be returned within 30 days of delivery, subject to the requirements, exclusions, and inspection process described below.

Return authorization is required before sending any product back to Talk2Me.

Return Window

Eligible return requests must be submitted within:

30 days of the product’s delivery date

The delivery date may be confirmed using:

• Carrier tracking
• Delivery confirmation
• Talk2Me order records
• TikTok Shop records, when applicable
• Other available purchase documentation

Requests submitted after the 30-day return period generally do not qualify for a standard return.

A defective product may still qualify for review under the Talk2Me One-Year Limited Hardware Warranty.

Products That May Be Eligible for Return

Subject to authorization, inspection, and approval, eligible products may include:

• Talk2Me radios
• Physical radio accessories
• Batteries and charging equipment
• Unactivated SIM cards
• Other qualifying physical products purchased directly from Talk2Me

The product must meet the applicable return-window and condition requirements.

Return-Condition Requirements

To qualify for a standard return, the product should be:

• In like-new condition
• Free from physical damage
• Free from liquid, moisture, corrosion, or environmental damage
• Free from unauthorized modifications or repairs
• Returned with the original packaging
• Returned with included manuals and inserts
• Returned with all included accessories
• Returned with proof of purchase
• Packaged securely for shipment

Opened Products and Restocking Fees

Opening a product does not automatically make it ineligible for return.

However, qualifying open-box hardware that is functional and otherwise returnable is subject to a:

10% restocking fee

The restocking fee is deducted from the approved refund.

The product must still be complete, undamaged, and returned with its packaging, manuals, inserts, and included accessories.

Products and Services That Cannot Be Returned

The following are generally non-returnable:

• Activated SIM cards
• PRS Gold subscriptions or access
• Other activated digital subscriptions
• Downloadable products
• Delivered digital platform access
• Custom-made products
• Personalized products
• Print-on-demand merchandise
• Products damaged through misuse, neglect, or improper handling
• Products altered, repaired, programmed, or modified without authorization
• Products returned without authorization
• Products outside the applicable return period

A non-returnable product may still qualify for warranty review when a covered hardware defect is reported within the applicable warranty period.

Activated SIM Cards

SIM cards are not returnable after activation.

Activation may occur when the SIM is:

• Associated with a customer account
• Provisioned by the cellular provider
• Assigned a service plan
• Installed and activated for a radio
• Used to connect to cellular service

An unactivated SIM may qualify for return when it otherwise meets all return requirements.

SIM activation, cellular service, Talk2Me platform access, and physical hardware are separate parts of the purchase.

Subscriptions and Digital Services

Payments for digital services, subscriptions, memberships, or platform access are generally non-refundable once activated or delivered.

Canceling a recurring subscription stops future billing but does not normally provide a prorated refund for the current paid billing period.

Access generally continues until the end of the already-paid service period unless the account is suspended or terminated under the applicable terms.

Examples may include:

• PRS Gold
• Digital platform access
• Membership services
• Downloadable products
• Other activated subscription services

Submit an Orders, Billing & Account Help request when you believe a subscription charge was made in error.

Original Shipping Charges

Original shipping charges are generally non-refundable.

An approved refund normally covers only the eligible product amount, minus any applicable:

• 10% open-box restocking fee
• Missing-item deduction
• Damage deduction
• Return-to-sender or carrier charge
• Other authorized adjustment

Original shipping may be reviewed separately when Talk2Me confirms that the product arrived defective, the wrong product was shipped, or another verified Talk2Me fulfillment error occurred.

Return Shipping

The customer is generally responsible for the cost of shipping a standard return to Talk2Me.

Talk2Me may provide or reimburse return shipping when it verifies that:

• The product was defective when received.
• The wrong product was shipped.
• The order arrived with another verified Talk2Me fulfillment error.
• Talk2Me expressly approved prepaid return shipping.

Do not purchase expedited or unusually expensive return shipping with the expectation of reimbursement unless Talk2Me approves it in advance.

Return Authorization Is Required

Before shipping, submit a Warranty, Returns & Repairs support request.

Talk2Me may provide:

• Return authorization
• Ticket or return number
• Approved return address
• Shipping instructions
• Items that should be included
• Items that should not be included
• Packaging requirements
• Return deadline

2. Select Submit a Ticket.
3. Choose Warranty, Returns & Repairs.
4. Select the return-related option that best matches the request.
5. Provide the order and product information.
6. Explain the reason for the return.
7. Upload photographs when requested.
8. Submit the request.

• Order number
• Purchase location
• Delivery date
• Product model
• Radio IMEI, when applicable
• Quantity being returned

Preparing the Return

Unless Talk2Me provides different instructions:

1. Turn the product completely off.
2. Remove personal accessories that were not included with the purchase.
3. Include all original Talk2Me accessories.
4. Include manuals, inserts, and other included materials.

8. Protect the shipment from impact and moisture.
9. Include the ticket or authorization number as directed.
10. Attach the shipping label to the outer shipping box.

Do not place a shipping label directly on the retail product box unless Talk2Me instructs you to do so.

Use tracking

Use a shipping method that provides tracking and keep:

• Shipping receipt
• Tracking number
• Carrier information
• Date the package was shipped
• Photographs of the packaged return when appropriate

Talk2Me cannot inspect or refund a product it has not received.

The customer remains responsible for the shipment until it is delivered to the approved return address.

Prevent return-shipping damage

Talk2Me may reduce or deny a refund when the returned item is damaged because of:

• Inadequate packaging
• Insufficient padding
• Exposure to moisture
• Loose accessories inside the box
• Shipping the product only in its retail package
• Improper battery packaging
• Other preventable return-shipping damage

Carrier insurance may be appropriate for higher-value products.

Return Inspection

After the product is received, Talk2Me may inspect:

• Product condition
• Physical, liquid, or environmental damage
• Packaging
• Included accessories
• Manuals and inserts
• Serial numbers and IMEI
• SIM-card activation status
• Signs of use
• Signs of modification or repair
• Missing parts
• Whether the product functions
• Whether the return matches the authorized request

The inspection determines whether the return qualifies for a refund and whether deductions apply.

Possible inspection outcomes

• Approved for a full eligible product refund
• Approved with a 10% open-box restocking fee
• Approved with deductions for missing items
• Approved with deductions for damage
• Redirected to warranty review
• Denied because the product is non-returnable
• Denied because it was returned outside the return period
• Denied because of unauthorized modification
• Denied because the return was not authorized

Talk2Me will communicate the outcome through the support ticket or associated contact method.

Refund Processing

After the return is received, inspected, and approved, Talk2Me generally processes the refund within:

5–7 business days

The refund is normally issued to the original payment method.

The final refund may be reduced by:

• The 10% open-box restocking fee
• Original shipping charges
• Missing-item deductions
• Damage deductions
• Return-to-sender or carrier charges
• Other applicable adjustments

The financial institution or payment provider may require additional time to display the refund after Talk2Me processes it.

Checking refund status

Reply through the existing support ticket and include:

• Order number
• Return authorization or ticket number
• Return tracking number
• Delivery date shown by the carrier
• Product returned

Allow time for delivery, inspection, approval, refund processing, and the financial institution’s posting period.

Product Arrived Defective

A product that does not work correctly when first received may be reviewed as:

• A return
• A replacement
• A warranty claim
• A configuration, SIM, coverage, or platform-service issue

Submit a Warranty, Returns & Repairs request and describe the problem.

Talk2Me may first verify:

• Battery and charging
• Cellular SIM service
• Network or platform selection
• Group or channel selection
• Platform access
• Radio account configuration
• Physical condition
• Whether the issue occurs in another location

Do not remove or move the SIM, change APN settings, perform a factory reset, open the product, or install unauthorized software unless instructed.

Product Arrived Damaged

Report shipping damage promptly.

Provide:

• Order number
• Delivery date
• Photographs of the outer shipping box
• Photographs of the shipping label
• Photographs of the internal packaging
• Photographs of the damaged product
• Description of the damage
• Description of any missing items
• Whether the package appeared opened, crushed, punctured, or wet

Incorrect or Missing Product

Submit an Orders, Billing & Account Help request when:

• The wrong radio was delivered.
• An ordered accessory is missing.
• The quantity is incorrect.
• An item does not match the invoice.
• An unexpected product was included.

Include:

• Order number
• Packing slip
• Photographs of the shipment
• Photographs of the products received
• Description of what was ordered
• Description of what was received

Do not activate or use an incorrect product before contacting Talk2Me.

TikTok Shop Purchases

Returns for products purchased through TikTok Shop must generally be initiated through TikTok Shop.

Use the TikTok Shop order or return interface to review the available options.

TikTok Shop controls:

• Marketplace return eligibility
• Return deadlines
• Return labels
• Refund processing
• Marketplace dispute procedures

Keep the TikTok Shop order number and all return documentation.

A TikTok Shop return period and Talk2Me’s limited hardware warranty are separate processes. When the marketplace return period has expired, a qualifying hardware defect may still be reviewed under the Talk2Me One-Year Limited Hardware Warranty.

Talk2Me may request:

• TikTok Shop order number
• Seller information
• Delivery date
• Radio model
• IMEI
• Photographs or video
• Description of the suspected defect
• Marketplace claim history

Canceled Orders

Contact Talk2Me as soon as possible when requesting cancellation before shipment.

An order may not be cancelable after:

• Fulfillment has started.
• A shipping label has been created.
• The package has been transferred to the carrier.
• Custom programming or configuration has begun.
• A digital service has been activated.
• A custom or print-on-demand product has entered production.

When an order cannot be canceled, the customer may need to follow the standard return process after delivery.

Refused or Undeliverable Packages

Refusing a delivery does not automatically create an approved return.

Packages returned because of:

• Refused delivery
• Incorrect address
• Failed delivery attempts
• Unclaimed shipment
• Carrier return to sender

may still require review.

Shipping charges and carrier fees may be deducted from any approved refund.

Contact Talk2Me rather than refusing the package whenever possible.

Exchanges

Talk2Me may handle an exchange as:

• A return and new purchase
• A warranty replacement
• A product replacement
• Another approved arrangement

Do not send a product for exchange without authorization.

Price differences, shipping charges, restocking fees, and product availability may apply.

Chargebacks and Payment Disputes

Contact Talk2Me Support before filing a chargeback when there is a return, refund, delivery, or billing concern.

A chargeback may delay the normal support and refund process and may require the matter to be handled through the payment provider.

Provide Talk2Me an opportunity to review:

• The order
• Delivery records
• Return tracking
• Inspection results
• Refund status
• Subscription or SIM records

This does not prevent customers from exercising rights provided by applicable law or their payment provider.

Information Security

Do not include:

• Complete credit-card numbers
• Card security codes
• Bank-account information
• Account passwords
• Platform Manager passwords
• Wi-Fi passwords
• Unnecessary sensitive personal information

Talk2Me may request order, contact, product, IMEI, shipping, and payment-reference information needed to locate the transaction.
