Please read these terms carefully before paying a MaixStation reservation fee. They apply to every reservation fee paid at sipeed.com/maixstation and to the use of every voucher code. By ticking the box and completing payment, you confirm that you have read, understood and accepted these terms. "We" and "us" mean Sipeed; "you" means the person paying the reservation fee.

- 1.3Registered email: the email address you verified with a one-time code when paying. Each voucher code belongs to its registered email.

2. Nature of the reservation fee
- 2.1The reservation fee secures a discount on the Campaign. It is not an order or a purchase contract.
- 2.2Each reservation fee gives one voucher code. For more machines, pay more than once.
- 2.3Voucher codes have no cash value and cannot be transferred.
- 2.4Reservations close before the Campaign launches. The closing time is announced on the page.
3. The discount
- 3.1Each voucher code is worth USD 100 off one MaixStation, returned as set out in section 5.
- 3.2Each machine can use only one voucher code. Codes cannot be combined.
4. Conditions
- 4.1You must back the Campaign within 48 hours of launch, using a Kickstarter account whose email is exactly your registered email.
- 4.2In particular, to use a voucher code you only need to back the Campaign at launch with the same email, then send us the code in a Kickstarter message after your MaixStation arrives. We do not accept privaterelay.appleid.com addresses (created by "Sign in with Apple"). If your Kickstarter account uses one, change it to your registered email before you back.
- 4.3The number of voucher codes you can use is capped at the number of machines you back with your registered email within 48 hours of launch.
5. Returning the discount
- 5.115 business days or more after you receive your MaixStation, send your voucher codes to Sipeed in a Kickstarter message.

- 5.3A redeemed voucher code's reservation fee is not refundable.
6. Refunds
- 6.1In the following cases we refund the reservation fee to the original payment method after the first 48 hours of the Campaign, without you having to ask:
(1) you did not back the Campaign with your registered email within 48 hours of launch;
(2) you hold more voucher codes than the cap in 4.3, for the codes above the cap. - 6.2Before the Campaign launches, you can ask for a refund by replying to your confirmation email or writing to support@sipeed.com. We refund within 7 business days of receiving your request.
- 6.3If you cancel your Kickstarter pledge before delivery, you can ask for the reservation fee back.
- 6.4"Original payment method" means PayPal payments go back to the same PayPal account and WeChat Pay payments to the same WeChat account, for the amount you actually paid.
- 6.5Once a reservation fee is refunded, its voucher code is void and the discount is gone. It cannot be used on any later pledge.
7. Changes to these terms
- 7.1We may update these terms. If we do, we will email everyone who has paid a reservation fee.
- 7.2If you do not accept the updated terms, you can ask for a full refund of your reservation fee before the Campaign launches.
