LIMITED WARRANTY POLICY

Thank you for choosing DERNIER & HAMLYN products. We are pleased to have your business. To help us ensure you receive prompt and efficient service, please retain your proof of purchase and register your machine as soon as possible. To register your warranty, please submit our registration form on our Product Registration page.

Please refer to the instruction manual to verify how to care for your machine. If you have any questions about your machine or this limited warranty, please call our Customer Services Department.

1. What This Warranty Covers

DERNIER & HAMLYN’s limited 2-year warranty policy (“Policy”) applies ONLY to products, devices, and accessories that are manufactured by DERNIER & HAMLYN (each a “Product” and collectively “Products”). The Policy covers defects in materials and workmanship of the Products for the warranty period as described in Section 5 below. This warranty is only valid if the machine is used in the country in which it is sold.

2. Who Can Use This Warranty

This Limited Warranty is NOT transferable and applies ONLY to direct customers who purchase Product(s) from DERNIER & HAMLYN (“Customer”, “you”, or “your”) and member(s) of your immediate household.

3. How You Obtain Warranty Service

Repair within the Warranty Period. In the event of a malfunction or failure of Products, please contact DERNIER & HAMLYN directly for further assistance and if applicable, for return instructions. You can reach our Customer Services Department by email UKcustomerservices@dhlifelabs.com.

To obtain warranty services, you must return the defective Product(s) along with proof of purchase in accordance with the return instructions provided by our Customer Services Department.

If you start a claim for warranty services and we confirm that your Product is defective in materials and workmanship, we’ll replace, repair or refund it (in our discretion). If we replace or repair it, we’ll make sure it performs substantially in accordance with this Policy. We may replace or repair it using new, refurbished, or serviceable used parts (in our discretion) that are at least functionally equivalent to the original product at no charge and will cover any shipping charges. If we replace or repair your Product, we warrant that the replacement or repaired Product will be materially free of faulty materials or workmanship for the remainder of your original Warranty Period for 30 days after the replacement or repaired Product is delivered to you, whichever is later.

Repairs Outside of Warranty
Beyond two (2) years from the date of purchase, if a defect exists, you may mail your Product to us for repair and inspection. Upon inspection, we may send you a quote for repairing your Product, though we can no longer accept a return or exchange. You will be solely responsible for shipping charges associated with any repairs outside of warranty. We reserve the right to keep your Product with defect if you elect not to pay for a repair and we determine (in our discretion) that the Product is a safety hazard or cannot be used as intended without repair.

No Insurance
This Policy is not an insurance and does not cover any perils (e.g. fire, theft or loss).

Lost Proof of Purchase
If you do not have your proof of purchase, your warranty will start 60 days after the date of manufacture in accordance with DERNIER & HAMLYN records.

4. What This Warranty Does NOT Cover

Your limited warranty does not cover (and DERNIER & HAMLYN is not responsible for) for the following reasons:

A. Altered or Modified Products

B. Misuse of Products
Any damages or malfunctions caused by negligence, abuse, or use not in accordance with the instructions provided in the applicable quick start guide or instruction manual enclosed with the Product(s) (“User Manual”).

  • Products found to be defective after the warranty period has expired.
  • Products damaged due to a natural disaster, including but not limited to lightning, flooding, earthquake, or fire.

  • Failure of Products caused by handling, including tampering, mishandling, neglect, accidental damage, modification, abuse, misuse and/or repair done by anyone other than authorized DERNIER & HAMLYN service personnel. Modifications or alterations made to the voltage of unit will void the warranty.
