In addition to the Consumer Guarantees, all new products sold by us are covered by the manufacturers' warranty that accompanies the product. If you think that a product is defective you should contact us and a Customer Service Representative will assist you.

It is highly recommended that customers contact the manufacturer's technical support directly for any troubleshooting or technical support advice before you lodge a warranty claim. Most of the major manufacturers provide ‘Technical Support’ line for end users and deal the Manufacturer’s Warranty directly for the claim, repair and replacement. If the manufacturer directs you to return the product back to us, please ask for a tech support case number. This will expedite the warranty process when lodging a warranty claim with us.

Any defective products purchased from us that fall within the warranty period provided will be covered, unless they fall within the following conditions:

Physical damage on the product not caused in the event during transit or Dead on Arrival (DOA) but caused due to mishandling, incorrect use of product for its purposes, improper installation of product, by accident, insect or vermin infestation, improper method or failure to maintain service and handle the item with reasonable care.
