Warranty Claims for Quality-Related Issues

Govee's limited warranty is restricted to the country of purchase. The limited warranty is void on items taken outside the country they were originally bought in or shipped to directly from an authorized online purchase.

Quality-related warranty claims purchased through Govee's Authorized Distributors and Retailers (such as Walmart and Costco, BestBuy) are handled post-sale by the respective distributors and retailers.

Warranties on all replacements follow the same warranty timeframe of the original defective item. Warranties on products are void after having been fully refunded.
