Customer Policies

Thank you for purchasing Ting at www.tingfire.com operated by Whisker Labs.  We're confident you'll enjoy increased peace of mind with Ting monitoring your home electrical system for faults and hazards that can lead to fires.  The following return, renewal, and cancellation policies are provided here for your convenience.

Please note, where referenced herein, these policies may not apply in part or in whole if you did not purchase Ting direct from us at www.tingfire.com, but rather, acquired Ting through an authorized home service contractor reseller, or received Ting as part of a partner program (example, your insurance company).

Ting is a service ('Ting Service'), and not just a sensor.  A sensor acquired from unauthorized sellers cannot be activated for Ting Service, and Whisker Labs is the only authorized provider of the service.

We've thoroughly covered the details below, however, if anything is unclear or you have questions about these policies, please feel free to contact our customer support team at [email protected].  We're always happy to help!

HOW TING IS SOLD

Ting is sold and distributed as a bundled service (the 'Ting Service') which includes a sensor and service subscription.  The Ting Sensor is never sold by itself.  Ting is available from us (Whisker Labs) online or through an insurance company’s Ting program.

Receipt of Ting from Your Insurance Company.  If you received Ting through an insurance program, please refer to the participation agreement you agreed to when you enrolled with that insurer. In most cases, these programs offer Ting at no cost to you; however, in no instance are you authorized or have the right to sell or give your Ting Sensor to another party. If you’ve received Ting through such a program, and you’ve decided not to use Ting, or if you’ve enrolled but realize that you don’t have reliable Internet or Wi-fi, you are required to return your Ting Sensor - and we’ve made that easy for you. Please refer to your participation agreement, or contact us by email at [email protected].

Ting Sensors and Unauthorized Resellers. The Ting Service - which includes the Ting Sensor - is non-transferable. The Service subscription is bound and authenticated by the Sensor serial number, which is tracked to ensure authenticity for our customers. The Ting Sensor is never sold by itself.  Marketplaces such as Amazon, Facebook, eBay, and others are NOT authorized to sell or distribute Ting.  A Ting sensor acquired from unauthorized sellers (for example, eBay*, Mercari, Amazon, etc.) cannot be activated for Ting Service; if you errantly purchase a sensor from an unauthorized seller, please refer to their customer policies regarding sales of unauthorized items.  Any Ting Sensor marketed, sold, or otherwise offered on these marketplaces - whether by unauthorized resellers or by other 3rd parties or individuals - is stolen property, 'end of life' (removed from service by Whisker Labs), or otherwise has not been properly returned or recycled/disposed of by the current Ting customer.  Any attempts to activate or otherwise secure a service subscription using a sensor secured from an unauthorized seller are explicitly prohibited.

Price Match. If we publish a sale price or price reduction on tingfire.com after your purchase from tingfire.com, we will refund the difference between the retail price of what you paid versus the retail sale price or reduced retail price, as long as you contact us at and the date of your original purchase from tingfire.com is within 30 calendar days of the effective date of the sale price or price reduction. This applies to new Ting purchases only and not to service renewals.

 


RETURNS - 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee

If you bought Ting online directly on our site tingfire.com:  As a new Ting Service subscriber, if you are unhappy with the service for any reason, we will gladly issue a full refund within 30 days of your initial service activation, which begins when you’ve connected Ting per the installation process in the Ting Sensor app. For clarity, this applies only to new online Ting purchases and not annual service renewals.

We want you to be fully satisfied, so we’ve designed returns to be hassle-free, with free shipping.  As such, we respectfully ask for your reasonable cooperation to ensure a simple and smooth process.

Eligibility

Your Ting Service price included an annual service (a.k. subscription) fee and an activation fee that covers the cost of the Ting Sensor(s), as defined in the Whisker Labs Ting™ Sensor Service End User License Agreement (EULA).  Here is what is required to be eligible for a full refund after buying from tingfire.com:

  1. Your Timely Service Activation. You’ve installed and activated the Ting Service within 30 days of receipt of your Ting Sensor(s).
  2. Remediation Credit Status. Ting has not already repaired an electrical fire hazard where part or all of your Ting remediation credit has been applied.
  3. Your Timely Notification. Please contact us at [email protected] within 30 calendar days of your service activation with the following:
    • your order number
    • your name
    • your email

For example, if you activated your Ting service on March 1, we would expect your cancellation notice no later than midnight on March 31. After March 31, your Ting service will continue for the full term of service with full benefits.

  1. Our Timely Receipt of Ting Sensor(s). We provide ample time to return your Ting Sensor(s).  We need to receive the Ting Sensor(s) within 30 days of your receipt of the return shipping label we’ve supplied.
  2. Acceptable Condition of The Ting Sensor(s). After we receive your Ting Sensor(s), we will inspect them. The Ting Sensor(s) must be in the same condition that you received them, in good condition.  Good condition is defined as a working Sensor without wear, tear, damage, tampering or alteration.

All of the above conditions must be met in order to receive a full refund.

Returns Process

Here’s what to expect after you’ve notified us within 30 days of your service activation:

  1. Service Deactivation.  We’ll deactivate your Ting Service, and the Ting Sensor will no longer connect to the app or to our central monitoring system.

IMPORTANT – Even if you keep your Ting Sensor(s) plugged in when we deactivate your Ting Service, your home will no longer be monitored for electrical fire hazards.

  1. Return Label.  We’ll email you a return authorization label to use in shipping your Ting Sensor(s) back to us.  We’ll cover the cost of shipping.  You’ll have 30 days to return the Ting Sensor(s) from this point.

We’d prefer you use the original Ting Sensor box/insert to secure the Sensor(s), however, if you no longer have it, please use reasonable care in protecting the Sensor(s) when packaging.

  1. Pack and Ship.  Print out the shipping label.  You’ll safely package and ship the Ting Sensor(s) back to us using the shipping label, and simply drop the package off at a UPS location or store.
  2. Receipt & Inspection.  Once we’ve received your Ting Sensor(s) and have inspected them we will notify you via email.
  3. Refund.  If the condition of the Ting Sensor(s) is acceptable, your full Ting purchase will be refunded to the original payment method you’ve used during the purchase. For credit card payments it may take up to 10 business days for a refund to show up on your credit card statement.

Exceptions

To help clarify the above, we won’t be able to issue you a full refund under certain conditions.

No refund:  Your Ting Service will remain active and you’ll receive all benefits of the Ting Service for the remainder of your then-current service term if any of the conditions apply:

  • Late Activation. You’ve attempted to cancel service but did not activate your service within 30 days of receipt of your Sensor(s).
  • Late Notification.  You’ve attempted to cancel service after the 30-day window defined above has expired.
  • Remediation Credit Applied.  You’ve attempted to cancel service within the 30-day return window, however, Ting had already identified an electrical fire hazard, and part or all of your Ting remediation credit was applied to cover the cost of repair.

Partial refund: Your Ting Service will remain deactivated, and we will refund the service fee component of your purchase (for each Ting Sensor this is $49 retail for one year as of the time of this document’s last update) less any discounts applied at the time of purchase if either of the following conditions exists:

  • Failure to Return Ting Sensor(s). You’ve not shipped your Ting Sensor(s) back to us within the 30-day window defined above.
  • Failed Inspection.  You’ve not returned Ting Sensor(s) in good condition as defined above.

ANNUAL SERVICE (SUBSCRIPTION) RENEWAL

To avoid any confusion, subscription renewal terms only apply to direct purchases from Whisker Labs on tingfire.com; the terms may be different from that of Authorized Resellers, or may not be applicable if your fees are paid, in whole or in part, by a third party or partner as part of a program, such as your insurance company.

If you purchased directly from Whisker Labs online and did not acquire or receive Ting through a partner program as defined above, at the end of your service term, we will invoice or bill you for an annual retail renewal fee of $49 per sensor (that comes to a cost of approximately $4.08 per month) to the billing information on file. If during your current term, we’ve established alternative service plans that could apply to you and your home, we will provide you with those options at the time of renewal.

CANCELING SERVICE

We would hate to see you go, however, if you bought online from us and decide to cancel your Ting Service at the end of your current service term, please email us at [email protected].  We’ll deactivate your service and the Ting Sensor will no longer connect to the app or to our central monitoring system.

IMPORTANT – Even if you keep your Ting Sensor(s) plugged in when we deactivate your Ting Service, your home will no longer be monitored for electrical fire hazards.

Termination of Service by Whisker Labs. The Ting Service is designed to help keep you and your home safe from electrical fire hazards. Where we provide instructions or otherwise recommend Remediation Services for an electrical fire hazard identified by Ting as described in the Terms of Service, we do so only after expert and professional consideration of all factors, including your safety and security.  In the unlikely event you decide not to follow our instructions, and/or refuse to remediate an identified hazard, your decision may impact our ability to continue the service and reasonably monitor the safety of your electrical system, and as such we may, with reasonable notice, discontinue the service.  Please refer to the Terms of Service for additional detail.

MISCELLANEOUS

Remember, we’ll replace your Ting Sensor free of charge, with free shipping, for the life of your service with us, if it ever fails to operate due to conditions and/or causes outside of your control.  Contact [email protected] if you are having issues, and see our Service Terms for details on this hardware replacement policy.

If your service is active and for some reason, you’ve lost your Ting Sensor or have damaged it, contact [email protected] and we will ship you a new Sensor at the then-current replacement fee.
