Warranty Returns
What We Will Do
When the product is initially returned, we may try to fix (troubleshoot) the problem (if applicable), in consultation with the supplier, before sending it to an authorised repair agent for assessment.
- If your returned product is still within the manufacturer's warranty period, and after assessment is found to have a manufacturing fault, the repair and all associated costs will be free of charge;
- If the product is outside of the manufacturer's warranty period, but the fault is found to be a manufacturing fault this will be remedied in accordance with the CGA; or
- If the product is outside of the manufacturer's warranty period, and the fault found on assessment is not a manufacturing fault, the cost of assessment and repair will be payable by the customer.
- If the product is within the guarantee period and we find the returned product was not used with reasonable care or misused then the guarantee is void.
Please note there are exclusions to this guarantee for items like zippers on raincoats, bags and other products. Faulty zippers will breakdown within 3 months, one of the most common reason for zippers failing is when excessive force is applied to remove things caught in the zipper causing it to malfunction.
