Warranty Terms and Conditions
Claims procedure summary:
1. First Check that it is not a simple problem like a blown fuse or faulty plug. Remember that if no fault is found with your hardware, or it is a software problem, you will be required to pay for collection and redelivery costs.


2. If your product still fails to work, call the Technical Support Department on 0845 388 9051 or e-mail the technical support department at: support@wired2fire.co.uk. Have the warranty number information available, this is the same as your order number and can be found in your system manual. The technical support staff will assist you in diagnosing the problem over the phone. If the problem cannot be resolved over the phone, Wired2Fire Ltd will decide on the best course of action for complete customer satisfaction as detailed below:


Collect and Return Warranty


Year 1 – collect and return
1. If the system is thought to be faulty Wired2Fire will arrange collection of the system from the customer. This will usually be next day or same day if the fault is diagnosed before 11am.


2. The customer is required to package the system in its original packaging, ensuring the box is sufficiently padded and sealed shut. If the customer does not have the original packaging the customer may provide their own packaging, however, in these circumstances no insurance against damage during transportation will be provided for delivery of the system. Alternatively, the customer can purchase the necessary packaging from Wired2Fire for a cost of £15. This will be delivered next day. If Wired2Fire packaging is used then full delivery insurance will be provided.


3. On return to Wired2Fire the system will be tested as appropriate and any faulty parts will be replaced. Whilst every effort will be made to preserve data on the system, under certain circumstances this will not be possible, therefore, Wired2Fire recommends creating a full backup of your system before returning where ever possible. The cost of all labour is covered by Wired2Fire except when there is no fault found.


4. The system will be returned to the customer at any valid UK address by standard next day delivery. Timed deliveries will require an additional payment. All other delivery costs, except where no fault is found, will be covered by Wired2Fire.


Year 2 – labour only
1. If the system is thought to be faulty the customer can ask Wired2Fire to collect the system for a cost of £50 (including return of the system). Delivery insurance will be provided as for year 1 warranty collection. Alternatively, the customer may arrange to use there own delivery service.


2. On return to Wired2Fire the system will be tested as appropriate and the customer will be contacted to organise the replacement part if required. Cost of parts are not covered by Wired2Fire, the customer has the option of i) providing replacement parts themselves, ii) purchasing replacement parts from Wired2Fire or iii) attempting to return the faulty component direct to the manufacturer, should it still be under a valid manufacturer warranty. No labour will be charged.


3. If the customer has paid the £50 collection and redelivery fee, the system will be returned to the customer at any valid UK address by standard next day delivery. Timed deliveries will require an additional payment.


On Site Warranty


Year 1, 2 and 3


1. If a fault is diagnosed by the Wired2Fire technician and can be identified as being the result of a specific component, Wired2Fire will arrange to have replacement parts sent out by next day courier. Once the item is received the customer should call Wired2Fire to arrange the engineers visit. The engineer will then contact the customer directly to arrange a convenient time to replace the faulty component.

2. Should Wired2Fire not be able to diagnose the fault to a specific component, which will result in the requirement for extended testing Wired2Fire will arrange to have the system collected as per the standard 1 year warranty. (see above)
