Return & Warranty Policy
退貨與保固政策
Scope: goods purchased directly from Zhiguanjia Technology Co., Ltd. via smtengo.com or the enGo Shop
Last updated: April 2026
General principle: we handle returns in accordance with Article 19 of the Consumer Protection Act and the Regulations Governing Reasonable Exceptions to the Right of Rescission in Distance Sales. Different rules apply to different categories of goods, so please confirm which category your purchase falls into before applying for a return.
1. Product Categories and Return Scope
Our products fall into two categories, with different return rules:
Category A — Hardware and consumables
Includes the enGo AI Smart Control System (SmartPad_01), the Shuiweiyang AI Smart Water Purification System (enGoW-601), the enGo Air Purifier (EAP-01), control tablets and their accessories, and other smart-home hardware.
Subject to a 7-day inspection period (under Article 19 of the Consumer Protection Act) and a one-year product warranty.
Category B — Food, organic goods, and perishable or short-dated items
Includes food, health supplements, fresh produce, organic agricultural products, short-dated goods and opened personal hygiene products sold through the enGo Shop.
Under Article 19-1 of the Consumer Protection Act and the Regulations Governing Reasonable Exceptions to the Right of Rescission in Distance Sales — Article 1, subparagraph 1 (goods that spoil easily or have a short shelf life) and subparagraph 6 (opened personal hygiene products) — Category B goods are not subject to the 7-day inspection period. They may be returned only where defective, as set out below.
Important: if you did not purchase directly from us but obtained the goods through a third-party channel (another retailer, a buying agent, a second-hand source and so on), this policy does not apply. Please arrange returns or exchanges through the channel you actually purchased from.
2. Category A: the 7-day inspection period
Within 7 days of signing for the goods, you may exercise the 7-day inspection right for online transactions provided for by the Consumer Protection Act.
Conditions for return within the inspection period (all must be met)
The purpose of the inspection period is to examine the goods; it is not a trial period. Returns within the inspection period are limited to cases where:
- the goods are brand new, unopened, unused and uninstalled;
- the original manufacturer’s packaging is complete and undamaged (including film, labels and seals);
- the product itself, all parts and accessories, manuals, warranty card, free gifts and serial-number labels are complete; and
- the application is made within 7 days of the date you signed for the goods (determined by the date our customer service receives the application).
Please note: if the goods have been opened, installed or used, if the packaging is damaged beyond restoration, if accessories or manuals are missing, or if there are signs of use, this will be treated as going beyond the exercise of the right to examine the goods. We may refuse the return, or charge a refurbishment fee equivalent to the original price of the goods.
After the inspection period
More than 7 days after you sign for the goods, Category A products are covered only by the defect warranty. Please see the one-year product warranty below.
3. Category A: one-year product warranty
We provide a one-year warranty on Category A products from the date of purchase. If a defect or fault arises during the warranty period other than through human causes, we will repair or replace the product free of charge.
Repairs to some components may be carried out by replacement with spare units, so a repaired product or part may not be the same unit that was sent in. This warranty applies within Taiwan only.
Not covered by the warranty
The following are excluded from the free warranty even within the warranty period, and we may charge for parts and labour as appropriate:
- the product serial number does not match the warranty card, or the serial number is illegible, altered or torn off;
- damage caused by improper use contrary to the user manual or instructions, including but not limited to crushing, dropping, damp, immersion, exposure to rain, ingress of foreign objects, or loss of components;
- scratches or wear to the casing or to accessible parts arising from normal use;
- damage caused by use of a non-original battery, or by battery leakage;
- damage caused by natural disaster, fire, lightning or other force majeure;
- faults or damage arising from disassembly or repair by personnel not authorised by us, from self-disassembly, modification or alteration of specifications, or from the use of non-original accessories;
- operating problems or faults caused by software installation, configuration or computer viruses; or
- poor reception caused by problems with services provided by network or telecommunications operators.
Consumables and filters
Filters for the Shuiweiyang AI water purification system and the air purifier are consumables with their own replacement cycles (RO membrane 12–24 months, other filters 6–12 months) and are not covered by the one-year warranty. For hygiene reasons, filters that have been opened and used are also not eligible for return within the 7-day inspection period.
4. Category B: food, organic goods and perishable or short-dated items
Category B goods have no 7-day inspection period. Under the Regulations Governing Reasonable Exceptions to the Right of Rescission in Distance Sales, issued under Article 19-1 of the Consumer Protection Act, goods that spoil easily or have a short shelf life, and opened personal hygiene products, are not subject to the 7-day unconditional right of rescission.
When a return may be requested
Category B goods may be returned or refunded only where defective, and all of the following must be met:
- the goods were already defective on delivery (damaged, spoiled, rotten, mouldy, out of date, contaminated by foreign matter, and so on);
- we shipped in error (item, specification or quantity does not match the order);
- the goods are unopened and have not been consumed (except where the defect is evident from the outer packaging);
- the application is made to customer service within 3 days of signing for the goods and within the shelf life; and
- the original outer packaging is retained and provided, together with photographs of the goods and clear photographs of the defect as evidence.
When a return will not be accepted
We will not accept returns of Category B goods where:
- the reason is subjective (the taste does not suit, you do not like it, you ordered by mistake, you ordered twice, and so on);
- the goods have been opened or consumed, or cannot be kept in their original state;
- the application is made more than 3 days after signing for the goods;
- deterioration was caused by improper storage (for example not refrigerating or freezing at the recommended temperature); or
- the shelf life has expired.
5. Return shipping costs
Return shipping is borne as follows:
- Defective goods, shipping errors, or damage occurring before delivery: we bear the return shipping cost and will arrange collection.
- Category A goods returned new and unopened within the inspection period: the consumer bears the return shipping cost.
- Category A warranty repairs: within the warranty period the consumer bears the outbound cost (sending the item to us), and we bear the return cost after repair.
6. Refund method and timing
Once returned goods have been inspected and accepted by us, we will process the refund within 7 working days, by the original payment method:
- Credit card: refunded to the original card. The time taken to appear on your statement depends on your issuing bank (typically 1–2 billing cycles).
- ATM transfer / bank remittance: remitted to the bank account you nominate.
- enGo Coin / reward points: returned to the original member account.
7. How to request a return
- If you meet the conditions, contact customer service by email (service@smtengo.com) or telephone (+886-2-2751-0218) with your order number, the product category and the reason for return, attaching the necessary photographs (photographs of the defect are required for Category B goods).
- Once eligibility is confirmed, our staff will provide return instructions, a return reference number and the delivery address.
- Package the complete goods carefully and send them to the address specified, or wait for the collection we arrange.
- On receipt we will inspect the goods to confirm they meet the return conditions.

Where equipment is supplied by us for the purposes of a business arrangement (such as an enGo control tablet), you are responsible for keeping it in good condition. If the equipment is subsequently damaged, a compensation charge of NT$10,000 applies.
9. Order cancellation
