In a post on the company’s site today, Rahman announced that Jawbone thinks it has identified the problems with the bands that was causing some to brick, stating that it was an issue with two capacitors in the power system that sometimes caused the bracelets to fail to hold a charge. And then he puts his money on the table to back up the product offering a full refund, for any or no reason at all. What’s more, customers do not even have to return the bracelets.
This means that for whatever reason, or no reason at all, you can receive a full refund for UP. This is true even if you decide to keep your UP band. We are so committed to this product that we’re offering you the option of using it for free.
Personally, I’m really glad they’re getting to the cause of the problems with the band. Until mine went dead, it was one of my favourite products of the year. But I’m even happier to see the company standing behind its users in such dramatic fashion. It’s a bold move and a commendable one.
