Frequently Asked Questions

Returns & Limited Warranty

What is your return policy?

Toggle question.

Returns: For US based customers: To return a Liftware product for a refund of the cost of the merchandise, please do the following:

Contact us at support@liftware.com to request an RMA (return merchandise authorization) within 30 days from when you first received the product as determined by the tracking information. We will send directions on how to return your Liftware product to us.

Return the fully-functional product to us in its original packaging. The return must be postmarked within 14 days of when the RMA was issued. You will be responsible for the cost of shipping the product back to us.

All items returned must have an RMA number. Returns without an RMA number may be returned to the sender.

Late Returns: If the RMA is requested more than 30 days from receipt of your Liftware product or your Liftware product is returned more than 14 days (postmarked) after the RMA is issued, we deduct a $100 USD restocking fee from the refund. After 60 days from when you first received your Liftware product (as determined by the tracking information), the Liftware product is ineligible for a refund and no RMA will be issued.

Receiving a refund: Once we receive your Liftware product, we’ll inspect it and process a refund within 10 business days to the original form of payment. We will email you when we process the refund, but it might take a few extra days for the credit to appear in your account.

If your Liftware product is returned damaged or has missing parts, we may not accept the return and reserve the right to deny a refund.

Shipping charges are not refundable. If your order was shipped to a destination within the US, all sales tax will be refunded. If your order was shipped outside the US, customs duties and taxes are not refundable.

What limitations apply to this limited warranty?

Toggle question.

THIS LIMITED WARRANTY WRITTEN ABOVE IS THE ONLY EXPRESS WARRANTY LIFT LABS OF VERILY LIFE SCIENCES LLC PROVIDES FOR THE PRODUCTS, AND THE ABOVE REMEDY IS YOUR SOLE REMEDY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, LIFT LABS OF VERILY LIFE SCIENCES LLC EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, WHETHER STATUTORY OR IMPLIED, REGARDING THE PRODUCTS, EXCEPT THAT ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE APPLICABLE WARRANTY PERIODS STATED ABOVE.

Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, LIFT LABS OF VERILY LIFE SCIENCES LLC WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY (WHETHER CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE) FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY YOU IN CONNECTION WITH THE PRODUCTS OR THESE TERMS, INCLUDING ANY LOSS OF DATA, WHETHER OR NOT A LIFT LABS PARTY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF OR SHOULD HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY SUCH LOSSES ARISING.

Some states do not allow the exclusion of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.

What foods work well with Liftware?

Toggle question.

Liftware Steady/Liftware Level can be used to scoop most bite-sized foods and, with a fork or spork attachment, can pierce most pre-cut foods. Users of the Liftware Steady/Liftware Level should avoid bending or twisting the attachment, as sensitive components may be damaged. Liftware Steady/Liftware Level should not be used as a scoop for dense foods (e.g., frozen ice cream), or to cut foods.

Ordering & Shipping

Where can I purchase Liftware?

Toggle question.

If you are located in the US, Liftware products can be purchased through our website. If you need guidance placing your online order contact us by phone at (415) 894-5438.

If you are purchasing Liftware devices for a tax exempt entity (non-profit service agency, public school, etc.), please send your tax exemption information and a description of your tax exempt status to support@liftware.com--we'll follow-up with next steps once we've verified your tax exempt status.

What should I know about purchasing a Liftware product as a gift?

Toggle question.

Thanks for considering a Liftware product as a gift! We want to help you set your loved one up for success with their Liftware product. Here are some tips on giving Liftware:

  • Once your gift arrives, we recommend first showing your loved one the “Getting Started” videos to see how their Liftware product works and for helpful tips.

  • Avoid having the person try out their Liftware product for the first time in too much company or in any other high-stress situation. Going through anything new can be stressful and can temporarily worsen a person’s tremor. We recommend giving the person some quiet time and space to try their Liftware product out for the first time.

  • Finally, since this is a gift, note that we won’t include the price on the packing slip.

I’m unable to afford a Liftware product. What are my options? Are Liftware devices covered by Medicare?

Toggle question.

If you receive benefits through the US Department of Veterans Affairs, you may be eligible to receive your Liftware device under your veterans benefits program.

We are also working with relevant foundations to provide Liftware devices to people in financial need with conditions including Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, multiple sclerosis, and Huntington’s disease.

If you think you may be eligible for benefits through the Department of Veterans Affairs benefits or through a need-based donation program, please contact us at support@liftware.com for more information. Be sure to tell us whether you experience hand tremor or limited hand and arm mobility.

Please note that Medicare currently does not cover the cost of any Liftware products. As applicable, we recommend contacting your private health insurance provider to find out whether they will reimburse you for any portion of the expense of a Liftware product. We would love to know if you have any success, so please send us an email at support@liftware.com to let us know how things are going.
