Is it a defect or just damaged?

A product is considered to be defective when it cannot be used as intended or when it cannot be repaired due to an issue stemming from either its components or from its manufacturing process. Defective products are covered by our 2 year warranty, while damaged products are not.

How to claim a warranty on your product.

Your first stop is our local retail partner:

If you bought the product in a shop, or on-line return the product to the same shop with your receipt. They will process the warranty on your behalf.

They will return it to us for inspection. Once we have inspected it we will send you a final warranty approval and ship you a replacement product within 5 working days (which will then arrive to you according to the delivery timeframe with our courier company). We cannot however guarantee that your replacement product will be in stock at the time of your warranty. If your replacement product is out of stock, we will offer you your choice of an alternative product of equal value to the warranty. If your product warranty request is not successful we will ship your product back to you and offer you a special rate on a replacement purchase of the same product.
