Pre-owned and 2nd user products have 12 months or less, please check with the individual product.

For any other item or product the customer is responsible for the return and/or pick-up of it (including any costs or insurances involved) to and from our workshops where guarantee works will be effected without charge. Please see our terms and conditions of sale printed on the reverse of our headed paper for all other particulars.
