Even a phone that no longer boots is normally recovered in place: as long as fastboot still comes up, Catcrafts walks you through reflashing it over a USB cable in minutes. Only a phone that shows nothing at all, not even fastboot, travels for a software fault. For a hardware fault Catcrafts takes the phone back and handles the manufacturer's process, including the temporary reflash to stock Android it requires, and returns it running postmarketOS. When a phone does have to travel, warranty shipping is paid by Catcrafts, both directions, worldwide. User inflicted damage, including software faults caused by relocking the bootloader do not fall under this policy. The full terms are on the terms page.";

|
||||
//
|

// 1. THE WITHDRAWAL BUTTON (herroepingsknop). Since 2026-06-19, art.
|
||||
// 11a of the Consumer Rights Directive — art. 6:230oa BW — has
|
||||
// required a clearly labelled button in the interface for a
|
||||
// consumer to withdraw from a distance contract. Email alone is no
|
||||
// longer enough. It must stay available for the whole withdrawal
|
||||
// period, ask only for essentials, NOT require an account, and
|
||||
// confirm immediately on a durable medium.
|
||||
// **If it is missing, the 14-day withdrawal period becomes ONE
|
||||
// YEAR** — every EU phone sale unwindable for twelve months.
|
||||
// It does not bite today only because the sole purchasable item is
|
||||
// the donation, and a gift carries no withdrawal right. Flipping
|
||||
// this line is exactly the moment it starts to.
|
||||
// The order page is the natural home: it already identifies one
|
||||
// order by an unguessable link, so no account is needed.
|
||||
//
|
||||
// 2. THE SHIPPING RATE TABLE. Without SENDCLOUD_* credentials (or a
|
||||
// hand-placed cache) there is no rate table, and checkout refuses
|
||||
// every order that ships. Donations skip that branch, which is why
|

// the shop looks fine today. See deploy/README.md.

{

"Catcrafts ships to a short list of countries, and the list is the whole policy: the Netherlands, Switzerland, Serbia, Montenegro, Albania, Kosovo, Georgia, Australia, Hong Kong and Singapore. Checkout accepts a delivery address in those and refuses every other country. The current list is always the one checkout enforces, so if a country is not offered at checkout it is not offered at all. Outside the Netherlands you are the importer: the parcel is sent duty unpaid, and your own customs authority charges you import VAT and any duty when it arrives.",
|
||||
"The reason it is a list of what is allowed rather than a list of what is not, is that the rules are national and there are nearly two hundred of them. Selling a phone into a country can enrol Catcrafts in that country's recycling and battery schemes, require its own radio approval, or require the handset to be registered in a national database before any local network will carry a call. Those obligations attach before the first parcel, not after it, and a shop this size cannot pretend to have read every country's version. So a country is added when it has actually been checked, and until then the answer is no. That is a deliberately cautious default and it will sometimes say no to a country that would have been fine.",
|
||||
"Catcrafts does not ship to the United States or Canada, and these are worth naming because they are the two people ask about most. Canada is not a choice: the phone holds no Canadian radio certification, and Canadian law prohibits importing, distributing or selling uncertified radio equipment, so it cannot lawfully be sold there by anyone at present. The United States is a combination: a customs entry is now required for every individual parcel, the mobile networks certify which handsets may be activated, and none of the legal protection that shields telephone companies over emergency calls extends to whoever made the device. Insurance is part of the picture too, but it is no longer the interesting part, and buying a policy would not open either country.",
|
||||
"Separately, Catcrafts cannot sell or ship to Russia, Belarus or North Korea. Unlike everything above this is not a judgement call: European Union sanctions prohibit exporting consumer electronics to those countries, and the prohibition covers indirect routes, a forwarding address, a reseller, or a purchase made on behalf of someone there just as much as a direct parcel. Checkout refuses a delivery address in any of them, and an order that turns out to be bound there by another route is refused and the payment returned.",
|
||||
"The same anti-routing rule applies to every refused country, not only the sanctioned ones: if a parcel is to be forwarded onward, or the delivery address belongs to a forwarding service acting for a customer elsewhere, the order is refused, and refunded in full if that only becomes clear after payment. Please do not try to route around it. The point is that the sale does not happen, not that the address looks acceptable.",
|
||||
"One more thing that can refuse an address even inside the list: shipping is priced entirely from the carrier's own rates, so a destination the carrier has no rate for cannot be quoted and cannot be ordered. That is a different and much softer no than the ones above, it is about a price not existing rather than a sale being refused, and it can change whenever the carrier's tariff does.",

||||

{ "Warranty",
|
||||
{
|
||||
"Everything sold here is warranted by Catcrafts for two years from delivery, worldwide. One counter: every claim goes to Catcrafts, and Catcrafts deals with whoever needs dealing with. You never have to work out whether a fault is hardware or software, or talk to a manufacturer.",
|
||||
"Behind that counter the split is simple. Software Catcrafts wrote is fixed by Catcrafts with an update, delivered remotely like any other update. If a fault stops the product from starting, Catcrafts provides the tools and walks you through recovering it in place, so a software fault still does not mean sending anything anywhere. Hardware faults are handled through the manufacturer's or supplier's warranty: Catcrafts keeps the purchase paperwork those claims depend on and runs the process end to end. What that means for a specific product is described on its own page.",
|
||||
"When a product does have to travel (a hardware fault, or a product so far gone it no longer responds to recovery tools at all), the shipping is paid by Catcrafts, both directions, worldwide. Every unit is tested before dispatch, so a genuine defect should be rare. When one happens anyway, it should not cost you anything. The one exception: if a returned product turns out to have no fault, or the damage is yours (a drop, water damage, a repair attempt gone wrong, software issue caused by a relocked bootloader), the repair and the shipping are billed at cost, and you are told the price before any work happens.",
