Return Policy for Mining Hardware, ASIC Miners & Infrastructure Equipment
HiveIris.com supports serious mining operators, wholesale buyers, procurement teams, distributors, and infrastructure clients with a transparent return review process for cryptocurrency mining machines, ASIC miners, GPU mining hardware, mining accessories, cooling systems, power infrastructure, and mining farm equipment.
Because mining hardware is high-value industrial equipment, returns are reviewed carefully based on product condition, inspection results, warranty coverage, shipping status, documentation, and whether the item was used, installed, powered, modified, or custom-ordered.
Return Policy Overview
This Return Policy applies to products purchased through HiveIris.com, including cryptocurrency mining machines, ASIC Bitcoin miners, GPU mining rigs, mining accessories, power supplies, cooling systems, mining containers, data center infrastructure equipment, and related hardware solutions.
Mining machines are specialized commercial and industrial products. Many products are quote-based, batch-based, market-sensitive, and subject to supplier allocation, logistics handling, export preparation, and pre-shipment verification. For this reason, all return requests must be reviewed before approval.
Return Review Required
All returns must be approved by HiveIris support before any product is shipped back. Unauthorized returns may be refused or delayed.
Condition Matters
Products must be unused, unmodified, safely packaged, and returned with all accessories, labels, serial numbers, invoices, and documentation.
Industrial Equipment Rules
Used, powered, installed, hosted, configured, liquid-cooled, or custom-sourced mining hardware may not qualify for standard return approval.
Important Return Window
Buyers should contact HiveIris as soon as possible after delivery if there is an issue with received equipment. Return eligibility may depend on the product type, order terms, inspection status, shipping condition, manufacturer warranty rules, and whether the hardware has been activated or installed.
For B2B, wholesale, distributor, bulk order, and custom procurement purchases, the return process may be handled under the specific quotation, invoice, proforma invoice, purchase agreement, warranty terms, or supplier terms attached to the order.
Return Eligibility by Product Type
The table below explains how HiveIris generally reviews return requests for mining hardware and infrastructure equipment. Final approval depends on order documentation, product condition, supplier terms, inspection results, and applicable warranty coverage.
| Product Type | Return Review | Important Notes |
|---|---|---|
| ASIC Mining Machines | Reviewed case by case | Must be unused, unmodified, and returned with original packaging, serial numbers, power cables, labels, and purchase documents. |
| Bitcoin Mining Machines | Reviewed case by case | Activated, installed, configured, hosted, or powered units may be handled under warranty instead of standard return approval. |
| GPU Mining Hardware | Reviewed based on condition | Returns may be restricted if GPUs, rigs, frames, boards, or cables show installation, heat exposure, modification, or mining use. |
| Mining Accessories | May be eligible | Accessories must be unused, clean, complete, and returned with all original components and packaging. |
| Power Supplies & Electrical Panels | Limited review | Electrical components may require professional inspection. Installed or wired components may not qualify for return. |
| Cooling Systems | Restricted after installation | Hydro, immersion, air cooling, fans, pumps, tanks, and cooling infrastructure may be non-returnable after setup or fluid exposure. |
| Mining Containers | Custom order review | Containerized mining solutions, modified units, and infrastructure builds are generally treated as custom procurement. |
| Cloud Mining / Hashpower Rental | Service policy applies | Digital services, activated plans, rental hashpower, or service-based mining contracts may not be returnable as physical products. |
Return Review Factors
Mining hardware return decisions are based on technical and commercial factors. HiveIris uses a structured review process to protect buyers while maintaining fair handling for high-value industrial equipment, supplier allocations, export shipments, and wholesale orders.
The more complete your documentation is, the faster support can review your request.
Non-Returnable or Restricted Items
Some mining hardware and infrastructure products may be restricted from return due to safety, installation, warranty, customization, export, or operational reasons.
Used or Activated Miners
ASIC miners, Bitcoin mining machines, GPU rigs, or mining units that have been powered, installed, configured, hosted, or used may not qualify for standard return.
Custom-Sourced Equipment
Special procurement orders, batch allocation, bulk ASIC miner orders, distributor purchases, and custom infrastructure builds may be final sale unless otherwise stated.
Modified Hardware
Products with firmware changes, damaged seals, removed labels, altered serial numbers, missing parts, heat damage, liquid exposure, or unauthorized repair may be refused.
Installed Electrical Products
Power supplies, electrical panels, cables, circuit breakers, PDUs, and power infrastructure may require inspection and may be non-returnable after installation.
