Refund & Replacement Policy – FreeTabletGovt.com

πŸ“… Last Updated: 1 March 2025

At FreeTabletGovt.com, we aim to provide clear and transparent information about the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) and Lifeline Assistance Program that offer free or subsidized tablets to eligible individuals.

Since FreeTabletGovt.com does not directly distribute, sell, or provide tablets, we do not offer refunds, exchanges, or replacements. However, this guide explains how refunds and replacements work under government assistance programs and what you can do in case of lost, stolen, or damaged devices.


1️⃣ No Refunds Policy

βœ” FreeTabletGovt.com does not charge users any fees – Our service is 100% free, and we only provide guidance on how to apply for a free government tablet.

βœ” If you made a payment (such as a co-payment of $10–$50) when receiving your tablet, this payment was made directly to the ACP/Lifeline provider, not to us.

βœ” Refund policies depend on the tablet provider – If you believe you were wrongly charged, you must contact the company that provided your tablet directly to inquire about their refund policies.

πŸ’‘ Important: The government does not offer a full refund for free tablets, as they are provided at a highly discounted rate under federal assistance programs.


2️⃣ Replacement Policy for Lost, Stolen, or Damaged Tablets

Government-provided tablets are usually one-time benefits per eligible household. However, if your tablet is lost, stolen, or damaged, here’s what you need to know:

2.1 What If My Tablet Is Lost or Stolen?

βœ” Report the loss immediately to your tablet provider.

βœ” If your tablet is damaged within the warranty period, your provider may offer a free or low-cost repair or replacement.
