When you purchase a Ledger device, this document governs your rights around delivery, returns, warranties, and what compensation you can seek if a product is faulty or an order goes wrong. Ledger limits its liability in ways that could restrict your ability to claim damages beyond the cost of the product itself. You can initiate a return or warranty claim by contacting Ledger's support team at support.ledger.com within the applicable return window.
