PRODUCT WARRANTY

Product Warranty

When a warranty case is processed, the removal, assembly, and tuning requirements of any components are borne by the customer making the claim.

When necessary, the freight costs are split between the parties involved. The customer pays for the component to be returned, and we pay for the component to be sent back to the customer.

The costs/inconvenience caused by the loss of use of the item/product is not covered whilst the warranty process takes place.

Generally, it is only the original purchaser of the goods that is covered by the warranty. However, check the manufacturer’s warranty policy first.

If you feel your product has developed a fault, please contact us first as we might be able to assess the issue without having the product sent back.

If the product/component needs to be returned, it must be clean and packaged appropriately for transit.

To contact us for warranty claims, only email correspondence is accepted – this is to ensure all claims are accurately logged.

This policy does not affect your statutory rights.
