Your order number
Product registration confirmation
Description of the issue
Photos or videos (if available)
Our team will evaluate your case and offer a suitable resolution — such as repair, replacement, or refund, depending on the situation and warranty terms.
Warranty Exclusions
The following are not covered under our warranty:
Damage due to misuse, abuse, accidents, or modifications
Unauthorized repairs or disassembly
Cosmetic wear (e.g. scratches, chipped paint)
Products not registered within 365 days of purchase
By placing an order on our website, you agree to the terms outlined in this Returns & Warranties Policy.
Note: Mato Tanks purchased from authorized resellers listed on our website are fully covered under the same warranty policy. Please retain your proof of purchase when registering your tank.
However, if the reseller has made significant modifications to the tank—such as altering its internal functions, upgrading or replacing components (e.g., using a different battery capacity), or converting it from a static model to a remote-controlled version—these changes fall outside the scope of our original factory warranty. In such cases, any issues arising from these modifications are the responsibility of the reseller.
Thank you for choosing Mato Tanks — where metal matters, and so does your satisfaction.
