Warranty and Returns Policy
1st Communications Installation & Maintenance Ltd offer a full 12 month ‘return to base’ warranty on all products (excluding consumable products e.g. batteries, tapes, ink cartridges).
For an additional £5 per telephone, we are offering an “extended 24 month return to base warranty” on all our Refurbished System Telephones, which will give you a total warranty of 36 months for extra peace of mind.
The warranty commences from the date of arrival with the customer. Please note that should an item require replacing within this 12 month period, the warranty does not restart with a further year. The warranty period is still deemed to have begun with the arrival of the original item.
In the case of new products, if the manufacturer offers a different warranty period, or different terms, the manufacturer’s warranty will take precedence
Manufacturers may offer an extended warranty period to customers who purchase new products. 1st Communications Installation & Maintenance Ltd will take no further part in arranging such warranties and the customer must take any issues to the manufacturers directly. Full details on each individual item can be obtained upon request by the customer to 1st Communications Installation & Maintenance Ltd.
Any misuse, wear & tear or abuse of goods by the customer will invalidate the warranty.
Except in pre-arranged circumstances, 1st Communications Installation & Maintenance Ltd warranty is not valid outside the United Kingdom.
Should the goods prove not to be faulty after examination and testing in our workshop, then return postage will be payable by the customer.
1st Communications Installation & Maintenance Ltd reserves the right to repair replace or credit faulty items at its discretion.
Advance replacement goods will only be despatched with the agreement of a company director and in which case the above condition will apply.
Your statutory rights are not affected. 14 day return
