Returns & Cancellations
Yes, items can be returned within the statutory return period, provided they are unused and in their original packaging. Use is particularly problematic with water bottles, as they are considered hygiene products.
The only exception is the Custom Bottle. This is custom-made at the customer’s request and is therefore excluded from the right of return.
You can find all the information about the right of withdrawal, as well as the sample withdrawal form, at the following link:https://www.fidlock.com/consumer/en/about-us/cancellation-policy/
Technical Information
FIDLOCK products are primarily designed as standalone, closed systems. This means that within a product line (e.g., TWIST or VACUUM), the components are compatible with one another but are not automatically compatible with products from other brands.
However, there are exceptions in some cases:
Accessories & Adapters: In some cases, compatible adapters or partnerships enable cross-brand use.
Yes, the magnets are designed to securely hold devices such as smartphones without interfering with their operation.
Many products are water-repellent or waterproof, depending on the specific system.
The magnets are used for guidance and positioning, while a mechanical lock ensures a secure hold.
Many products are compatible within their respective technologies; for example, TWIST is compatible with various TWIST modules.
The systems are designed so that they do not cause any damage to smartphones or cards during normal use.
