What problem are you experiencing (Select All That Apply)*

Single or Multiple LEDs out:

We're happy to work with you to get your hoop repaired quickly. Before we have your hoop sent in, we want to make sure we're addressing the issue correctly. Please confirm a few details for us so we can be sure to provide you with the best service

LEDs may not look as you're expecting if the battery is discharged or no longer in good working condition. If you have an additional battery, first fully charge all your batteries and try it in the hoop to see if the LED returns to normal.

Kinked or Cracked Hoop Tubing:
Kinked or cracked tubing may cause damage to the internal electronics of the hoop. If there's internal damage to your hoop and the tubing is kinked or cracked, fill out the rest of the form below.

<>If your tubing is kinked or cracked, but as far as you can tell your hoop appears to have no damage, you can send it in for a retube through this service here: http://moodhoops.com/product-tag/futurehoop-service/

Hoop is difficult to open or close:
If you're having difficulty closing your hoop, there's an easy fix for this Hard to see dirt or debris can get into the hoop where it slides in, causing the hoop to become difficult to open or close.

Take a moment to clean off the connection areas of the tubing where the hoop fits together, making sure there is no debris (sand or dirt) causing extra friction.

You may add a *very small* amount of petroleum jelly (Vaseline) on the inner part of the tubing connection that slides into the other side of the hoop.

Please give this a try, as this is what will make it easier in most cases.

Warped Tubing:
First try to set the hoop out in the sun on a flat surface, with the battery removed. It's normal for your hoop to have a little memory from its coiled shape when it's been collapsed for a while.

You may also have experienced the warping from keeping the hoop leaned against a wall at an angle. Tubing is stiffer in even slightly lower temperatures, so it probably just needs a little bit of sunshine to help get it back into shape

Newer hoops shipped from our workshop come with a 'shipping cuff' that is used to keep your hoop closed in a coiled position. If you still have this you can use it to carefully coil your hoop, and then leave it in a sunny spot. Leave it in this position in a warm spot for about a day to improve the shape of the hoop.

Water Damage Info:
Water damage isn't covered by the warranty, but if you think there's water damage just let us know ahead of time so we can recommend the best course of action. If the hoop is beyond repair we would be happy to work out a discount for you on a new hoop instead. Just let us know what's up

Please describe the problem you're experiencing with your hoop:*

Number of batteries you have? (please enter a number)*

Please describe the condition of each of your batteries. Is the plastic peeling, is there discoloration near the positive end?*

If you have described your batteries as having damage or peeling, we do not recommend they get charged, and get replaced instead. Please continue to fill out the questions as best as you can so we can help get you glowing again. Remember to always use caution with the use and charging of your hoop batteries (lithium-ion battery cells).

Yes - this issue occurs with all my batteries, even after each one has been fully charged to the best of my knowledge

I can't tell

No

What number of LEDs in your hoop are currently functioning normally? Enter a number:*

Are you experiencing an issue with particular colors going out first? Please describe:*
