Magic Leap 1 Warranty Policies
Last Revised: April 12, 2021
Magic Leap’s One-Year Limited Warranty Policy applies to all devices and accessories that are manufactured by Magic Leap (each, a “Product”), whether such Products purchased from Magic Leap or from one of our authorized retailers or resellers. In addition, Magic Leap offers an Extended Warranty Policy (in the United States only), which may extend warranty coverage on all such Products.
Magic Leap is based in the U.S., but is excited to welcome (with a special “cheers,” “bonjour,” and “guten tag”) residents of jurisdictions where we make Products available for commercial sale (our “International Friends”). Your particular country or jurisdiction may have enacted certain laws, statutes, or other legislation that apply to your order and which cannot be derogated from by contract. We want to be crystal clear — nothing in these policies affects your legal rights under the laws applicable in your country or jurisdiction. We’ve noted below where our International Friends may be entitled to different or additional terms based on applicable laws (referred to as the “special terms” throughout these policies and in our other agreements for our platform). You can find the special terms that may apply to our International Friends at the end of these policies.
One-Year Limited Warranty Policy
Magic Leap offers a one (1) year limited warranty (“Warranty”) on all Products. This Warranty is valid and enforceable only if you purchased a new Product from us or from one of our authorized retailers or resellers in a jurisdiction in which we sell Products and the Product was originally sold to you in its original, sealed packaging. Do not use a Product until you have read the terms of this Warranty.
Coverage. This Warranty is your exclusive remedy for defective workmanship or materials in your Product. Magic Leap warrants that the hardware will be free from manufacturing defects and, under its intended and ordinary consumer use, will function substantially in accordance with Magic Leap’s technical specifications or documentation (“Warranted Functionality”) for a period of one (1) year from the date your Product was delivered to you or picked up by you (the “Warranty Period”).
How To Start a Warranty Claim.
To get a Warranty claim started:
- Contact Customer Care. Visit our Customer Care site. There, you’ll find specific instructions about how to begin a Warranty claim. Please have your order number, the Product serial number, and your proof of purchase handy.
- Backup and Reset your Product. Before you ship your Product back to us for a Warranty claim, please remove any peripheral items that may be plugged into your Product, backup any content (including photos, videos, and software) and/or data on your Product, and factory reset it, if applicable. Visit our Customer Care for help performing these steps.
- Prepare your Product for Shipment. Pack your Product in the shipping materials (e.g., a shipping box or shipping label) we provide you to deliver your Product back to us. Once we receive your Product, we’ll determine if it has a defect or malfunction covered by our Warranty.
If we replace your Product, we won’t transfer any content or data from your original Product to your replacement Product. You may be able to restore your profile information once you register your replacement Product with your Magic Leap ID account. Magic Leap is not responsible for any content or data that is lost or reformatted.
Warranty Service. If you start a warranty claim and we confirm that your Product does not perform according to its Warranted Functionality, we’ll replace, repair or refund it (in our discretion). If we replace or repair it, we’ll make sure it performs substantially in accordance to our Warranted Functionality. We may replace or repair it using new, refurbished, or remanufactured hardware and materials (in our discretion). If we replace or repair your Product, we warrant that the replacement or repaired Product will be materially free of faulty materials or workmanship for the remainder of your original Warranty Period or for 30 days after the replacement or repaired Product is delivered to you, whichever is later.
Transfer. This Warranty is solely for you as the end-user of your Product. You cannot assign or transfer this Warranty to anyone, including a subsequent purchaser, friend, or family member.
Items Outside of this Warranty. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Warranty does not cover (and Magic Leap is not responsible for):
- Excluded Products, which include (a) resold Products, (b) Products purchased outside the jurisdictions where Magic Leap sells Products, (c) Products not purchased directly from us or one of our authorized retailers or resellers, (d) hardware or accessories not manufactured by Magic Leap, even if bundled or sold with Magic Leap hardware, or (e) software, (including the firmware and any applications installed on your Product), whether licensed from Magic Leap or any third party, which may be covered by the applicable version of our Lumin Software End User License Agreement or another software license.
- Misuse of Products, which includes (a) damage to the Product or loss of the Product resulting from an accident, theft, improper storage, misuse or abuse, mishandling, neglect, physical or electric modifications, exposure to water or other liquids, exposure to moisture, exposure to extreme conditions (e.g., heat, dirt or sand), (b) use with an unsuitable product not sold or licensed by Magic Leap, (c) use with inadequate ventilation, (d) use by children under 14, (e) circumvention of our security mechanisms, (f) reverse engineering, (g) defects or damage from viruses or other software problems introduced into the Product, (h) defects or damage caused by unauthorized repairs, and (i) any other use that is not in compliance with the recommendations in this document, our online materials, related documentation, and other user materials made available to you. We presume any cosmetic damage (e.g., scratches) resulted from misuse, abuse, or failure to operate the Product as instructed.
- Wear and Tear of Products, which includes damage resulting from normal wear and tear and normal depletion of parts (e.g., batteries) unless occurring due to defective workmanship or materials in the hardware of your Product. For example, only batteries that leak or exhibit fully charged capacity below a certain threshold of the actual rated capacity will be considered defective for purposes of this Warranty.
Voided Warranty. This Warranty will be void and your Product will be ineligible for authorized repair (even for a fee) if you (a) circumvent any of our security mechanisms, (b) resell your Product, (c) remove the serial number or any legal notices from the Product, (d) use the Product in violation of any laws or your agreements with us, or (e) violate the How to Start a Warranty Claim instructions in this Warranty or any instructions provided by our Customer Care team.
Disclaimer and Limited Liability. Nothing in this section will limit or exclude liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law. For our International Friends, that means this section may not apply to you. Please refer to the special terms below for provisions that may apply in your jurisdiction.
YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS THE ONLY EXPRESS WARRANTY MAGIC LEAP PROVIDES FOR THE PRODUCTS, AND THE ABOVE REMEDY IS YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, MAGIC LEAP EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, REGARDING THE PRODUCTS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, THE WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.
YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, MAGIC LEAP IS NOT LIABLE TO YOU: (a) UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR LOSS OF, DAMAGE TO, COMPROMISE OR CORRUPTION OF DATA), OR (b) FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY YOU IN CONNECTION WITH THE PRODUCTS OR THIS WARRANTY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY LOSS OF DATA OR ANY FAILURE TO MAINTAIN THE CONFIDENTIALITY OF INFORMATION STORED IN THE PRODUCTS, WHETHER OR NOT MAGIC LEAP HAS BEEN ADVISED OR SHOULD HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY SUCH LOSSES ARISING. YOU EXPRESSLY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, MAGIC LEAP’S TOTAL LIABILITY IN CONNECTION WITH THE PRODUCTS OR THIS WARRANTY WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU ACTUALLY PAID MAGIC LEAP, OUR AFFILIATES OR OUR AUTHORIZED RETAILERS FOR THE PRODUCTS.
If your jurisdiction gives you any implied warranty, then to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the duration of such implied warranty is limited to the Warranty Period. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so this limitation may not apply to you. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
Any customer support we elect to provide is provided “as-is” and without warranty of any kind.
Your Rights. This Warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may also have other rights based on your jurisdiction. This Warranty does not affect the rights you’re provided by your jurisdiction concerning the sale of consumer goods. International Friends, see our special terms for more details.
No Modification. No employees or representatives of Magic Leap (or its affiliates or any third party) are authorized to modify this Warranty. If any term of this Warranty is held to be unenforceable, the remaining terms of this Warranty will remain in full force and effect.
Repairs Outside of Warranty. If you purchased a new Product from us or from one of our authorized retailers or resellers and your Product is not covered by this Warranty, please contact our Customer Care team. While we cannot accept a return or exchange, we may be able to send you a quote for repairing your Product. Most importantly, we want to know what happened and make sure you’re happy with your experience. To that end, we reserve the right to keep your Product if you elect not to pay for a repair and we determine (in our discretion) the Product is a safety hazard or cannot be used as intended without repair.
No Insurance. This Warranty is not insurance and does not cover any perils (e.g., fire, theft or loss). At this time, we do not offer insurance. If you purchase a separate insurance policy for your Product from a third-party insurer, please coordinate reimbursement directly with the third party providing you insurance.
Extended Warranty Policy (US Only)
In parallel, Magic Leap partners with Mulberry to offer customers in the United States an optional 2 year extended warranty. Should you choose to purchase a Mulberry extended warranty plan, that extended warranty does not replace this Warranty, but is in addition to this Warranty. Mulberry's terms and conditions for the Extended Warranty Powered by Mulberry are available here
Special Terms for our International Friends

- If you bring a claim on the basis of a statutory warranty of conformity, you:
- have the right to bring an action within a period of two years following the delivery of the Product;

- Relevant Articles of the French Consumer Code are provided below:
- Article L. 217-4: The seller is required to deliver a product which is conformed to the contract and is held liable for any lack of conformity which exists upon delivery. He is also held liable for any lack of conformity caused by the packaging or the assembly instructions, or the installation if he assumed responsibility therefor or had it carried out under his responsibility.
- Article L. 217-5: To be conformed to the contract, the product must be suitable for the purpose usually associated with such a product and, if applicable: correspond to the description given by the seller and have the features that the seller presented to the buyer in the form of a sample or model; have the features that a buyer might reasonably expect it to have considering the public statements made by the seller, the producer or his representative, including advertising and labelling; or have the features defined by mutual agreement between the parties or be suitable for any special requirement of the buyer which was made known to the seller and which the latter agreed to.

- Relevant Articles of the French Civil Code are provided below for your reference:
- Article 1641: A seller is bound to a warranty as to hidden defects of the thing sold which render it unfit for the use for which it was intended, or which so impair that use that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would only have given a lesser price for it, had he known of them.

We are not responsible for any loss or damage that (a) it not foreseeable, beyond our control and which we cannot avoid through appropriate actions or (b) which is caused by your breach of the terms of Magic Leap’s policies. Loss or damage is foreseeable if it was an obvious consequence of our breach or if it was contemplated by you and us at the time that you purchased the Product.
