When you join the waitlist, you are reserving your spot in line for Jupyter products. You are NOT making a purchase or entering into a binding agreement to buy. No payment is required or accepted at this stage.
2.2 Pricing
Prices displayed on our website are indicative only and subject to change. Final pricing will be confirmed when pre-orders open. We reserve the right to adjust prices based on manufacturing costs, exchange rates, and market conditions.
Current indicative pricing can be viewed on our waitlist page. You will be notified of final pricing before any payment is required.
2.3 Cancellation During Waitlist
You may cancel your waitlist reservation at any time, at no cost. Since no payment has been taken, there is nothing to refund.
To cancel:

- Or simply do nothing — waitlist spots are non-binding
3. Pre-order Phase (Early 2026)
3.1 When Pre-orders Open
We expect to open pre-orders in early 2026. Waitlist members will receive priority access and advance notice via email before pre-orders open publicly. Exact timing will be communicated well in advance based on our manufacturing and certification progress.

To secure your order, a refundable deposit will be required per bundle. The deposit amount will be announced when pre-orders open. This deposit will be deducted from your final purchase price.
3.3 Cancellation During Pre-order
You may cancel your pre-order and receive a full refund of your deposit at any time before we confirm your order has entered shipping. Once your order is confirmed as shipped or dispatched to our logistics partner, cancellation is no longer available and our returns policy applies instead.

- Entry door sensors: Jupyter-branded door sensors only
- Additional device support is planned for future software updates

Voice Summary and Voice AI capabilities are not included at launch. These features are scheduled for release in Q3 2026 as our only paid subscription service.

13.4 Best Practices
For the best experience with your Jupyter system:
- Use detection zones in the app to focus on important areas and reduce unwanted alerts
- Position cameras to clearly capture faces and movement
