Congratulations on the new store site! While you’re adding products, could you take care of some license compliance issues?

Each product which uses GPL-based open-source code needs a notice on its product page and a link to the source code which ships on that product.

The items I see so far which still need this added are:

Lumintop GT Mini
Lumintop BLF GT70
Lumintop BLF GT
Fireflies ROT66
Emisar D4S

If you’re in the business of distributing products based on open-source code, you need to be familiar with the license. Here it is in English and two translations:

The GNU General Public License v3.0 - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation
https://jxself.org/translations/gpl-3.zh.shtml
http://www.chinasona.org/gnu/gnuv3-tc.html

Specifically, sections 4 and 6 are the most relevant — “Conveying Verbatim Copies” and “Conveying Non-Source Forms”. The easiest solution is clause 6b2, linking to a copy of the sources.

The link needed on the product page depends on which firmware the light has:

For Anduril-based lights, the source code is here.
For newer Emisar lights with RampingIOS V3, the source code is here.
In case you add any older Emisar lights with RampingIOS V2, the source code for that is here.
For Narsil-based lights, things are a little more complicated. There are a lot of different forks of NarsilM for different lights, and they’re not all available in one place. However, I’m trying to clean up that mess and get the forks all merged together again. When that happens, the code will be available here.

The text to put on the product page could be something like this: “This product uses free software distributed under the terms of the GPL v3.” The link there should go to whichever firmware the light uses.

Be aware Neal is not providing any kind of warranty on his products. I purchased a flashlight which arrived broken, only one LED of two was working. After sending several Emails he offered me a new head which I was supposed to pay plus shipping. This is a rip off don’t buy from him, he is selling broken items and wants to make more money on replacing those on your costs.

Neal, if you sent a damaged item you should just replace it charging nothing or refund it. No fixing and no buying the damaged part which was already bought and paid. It makes no sense to buy it a second time. Have I to buy two heads in order to have one working light?

allterrain · 2018-12-27T15:42:41.000Z

Hello shirnask

thank you for your support. I bought the light for $ 27 and it arrived broken. Than I was offered to send it back for $18 or buy a replacement head for $ 18, So the total of my special deal from Neal is $ 45, which is much mor expensive than from any other dealers.

traumapa · 2018-12-30T00:01:14.000Z

Great discount. I placed an order for one.

Firemedic · 2019-01-07T18:30:03.000Z

Not sure if I would pay for fastest shipping If I order from Nealsgadgets again. Item showed “in stock” but a week later it still hasn’t shipped. I emailed Neal and he apologized, but still hasn’t sent any shipping confirmation.

traumapa · 2019-01-08T11:30:16.000Z

I ordered the RC
90 with this coupon and it was shipped quickly with free DHL. It arrived in new working condition. I will not hesitate to order from NEAL again. I really like the function of this light. I may order a back up battery pack.

Thank you Neal for supporting this forum.

Quite right. No one should be asked to send items back for ‘fixing’ and certainly not be expected to buy another head to make it work, even if it’s discounted (shocking)!! besides that, if you did choose to return there’s the high cost of returning it/insurance, I presume you would have been expected to pay for that too? Crazy.

Lux-Perpetua · 2019-01-08T13:30:51.000Z

This is not about Neal or any commercial seller in particular, but I would like to point out the situation from the customer's point of view:

IMHO, it's a serious concern for customers when asked to return their broken item to China, certainly assuming the customer has given undeniable proof of a defect (video/pictures etc.) before. While sending from China to anywhere in the world is ridiculously cheap for traders, it's far more expensive for customers vice versa. Moreover, it is subsequently not reasonable to send back an item worth a couple of dollars when traceable shipping and insurance would be in disproportion to the item's value. Then there's a high risk that one's parcel will be detained by Chinese customs due to declaration issues and therefore very likely to be charged for custom fees / import taxes even if it's a broken (i.e. worthless) item someone sends back for repair. Usually, in such cases the sender will be held responsible to pay these additional charges.

Bottom line: Apart from rare, valuable items worth many hundred dollars it just won't make any sense to send something back for repair/inspection unless the seller accepts to pay for shipping, insurance and custom fees/import taxes.

Aftersale service might be underestimated sometimes but word of mouth means a lot in communities and happy customers will certainly come back and buy again while annoyed customers will probably refrain from buying again.

And that my friend is exactly why they do it, because they hope you won’t bother.
This is the reason I always use Paypal, then if you do have to send it back to get a refund/replacement they will foot the bill (so long as you have opted in).
‘Activate this service for free and we’ll cover up to £15 of return shipping costs per return, for up to 12 eligible returns per year worldwide.’ Presumably they offer this worldwide
Never had to use it myself as Paypal is well versed with the tricks of unreasonable foreign sellers (they know it costs a fortune to return, and they will have to foot the bill) I have always got a full refund.
I have better things to do with my time than to get into lengthy unanswered email battles that usually go nowhere and end up getting settled by Paypal anyway - so I just don’t bother contacting sellers now - straight to Paypal with all the evidence/videos/photo’s , let them deal with it.

Thank you G0OSE, I’m going to look into that. Neal has quit responding to my emails.
