Serious Readers 5-Year Warranty: Terms and Conditions

What does a Serious Readers warranty cover?

A Serious Readers warranty covers the repair or replacement (at Serious Readers' discretion) of your Serious Readers product if it is found to be defective due to faulty materials or workmanship within the warranty period.

If any part is no longer available (e.g. a particular colour variation or lamp), Serious Readers will replace it with a functioning alternative part.

Your statutory rights are not affected by this warranty.

What is not covered by a Serious Readers warranty?

Serious Readers products are engineered and constructed for continual high performance in normal domestic settings. If a Serious Readers product is used in the way it is intended for use and it breaks down within the warranty period, it is our responsibility to repair or replace it.

There are, however, some circumstances in which a Serious Readers warranty does not cover the repair or replacement of a product. These are not hidden in the small print. Here is what is not covered:

• Normal wear and tear, including parts that might wear out over time (e.g. bulbs, batteries, etc.)
• Accidental damage.
• Damage as a result of use not in accordance with the rating label.
• Damage caused by external sources such as transit, weather, electrical outages or power surges.
• Failures caused by circumstances outside of Serious Readers’ control.
• Faults caused by:
• Negligent use, misuse, neglect or careless operation of the product.
• Use of the product which is not in accordance with the Serious Readers’ Operating Manual.
• Use of a Serious Readers product for anything other than normal domestic household purposes in the country to which it was shipped.
• Use of parts not assembled or installed in accordance with the instructions provided by Serious Readers.
• Use of components and accessories which are not Serious Readers genuine components.
• Faulty assembly or installation (except where carried out by Serious Readers).
• Repairs or alterations carried out by parties other than Serious Readers.
