My Product Is Damaged Or Faulty. How Do I Get A Refund Or Exchange The Product?
If the goods show a defect after the initial 6 (six) month period, but are within the manufacturer’s warranty period, Power Tools Store may, at the customer’s request send the goods to the manufacturer for repair and the manufacturer will decide whether you will have a valid claim and if so, whether they will repair or replace as well or whether any charges will be levied in accordance with the terms of the warranty. All goods repaired in terms hereof will carry a further 3 (three) month warranty which runs concurrently with the 6 (six) month period but may serve to extend the warranty beyond the original 6 month period where the 3 months expire after the 6 month period.
If the goods become defective once the manufacturer’s warranty has expired, we will endeavour to arrange with the manufacturer or its agents to repair the goods but bear no responsibility for their failure to do so.
No chargeable repairs will be done without the customer’s approval of a quotation first. If within 3 (three) months after goods have been repaired, the defect persists or a further failure or defect occurs on the repaired component Power Tools Store will either refund or replace the component. Please keep proof of repairs.
When It Comes To Warranties, Are There Any Exceptions?
Yes, certain conditions and exceptions apply including:
Please take proper note of any terms or instructions that accompany your goods;
Goods that show a material manufacturing defect or other material defect within the first 6 (six) months of purchase will be repaired, replaced or refunded; and
Defects that develop after six months may be repaired, replaced or refunded at the manufacturer’s election, and subject to the relevant manufacturer’s policy.
The manufacturer’s warranty will only apply to material defects in the process of manufacturing the goods and will not apply in the following instances:
damage caused by lightning or power surges;
damage caused by misuse or abuse to the goods or contrary to instructions and warnings provided on the goods or their documentation;

accidental damage;
goods that have been altered or physically changed in any way; and
