Canon (UK) Ltd Warranty Terms and Conditions

Canon (UK) Ltd Warranty Terms and Conditions (Excluding Multi Media LCD Projectors)

This warranty is offered to Consumers who have purchased their Canon products within the United Kingdom. It is in addition to, and does not affect your rights under, the Canon European Warranty System or your statutory rights.

Any product returned for repair must be accompanied by a contact name, address and daytime telephone number. If this information is not provided, Canon will be unable to return your product to you and reserves the right to dispose of your product three months after receipt.

It is in your best interests to make a note of your product's serial number and this should be quoted in any communications with Canon.

Please note that Canon will endeavour to ensure the safety of your products whilst in its possession. However, whilst every effort will be made to return your product (and any film, tape, or other recordable media or accessory) Canon cannot accept any liability, nor pay any compensation for loss of a particular film or tape or other recordable media included. You should retain any recordable media or accessory not required for the repair. Further, any customer specific settings or memory may be lost during the course of repair.

1. Canon (We, Our, Us) warrants this Product (excluding accessories,
software, consumables such as, but not limited to, toner, ink sheets, paper and other consumables defined by Us) to be in good working order during the period of warranty. The period of warranty is the period stated on your warranty card and commences on the date of original purchase of the new Product. In the event that the Product is not in good working order Canon will provide, during the warranty period, a free service. The warranty is subject to proof of purchase being provided; therefore you should retain your original receipt.

6. Services cannot be provided on site: (a) on a bank or public holiday; (b) on a Saturday or Sunday; (c) before 9am or after 5pm Monday to Friday or other working hours agreed by Us in writing.

7. Unless agreed in writing, the Warranty will not apply: (a) because you have not used, stored or handled the Product prop­erly; or because you are in breach of the terms of this warranty or the Contract terms, or have not followed Our   instructions in  the  product manual, or those of the manufacturer; or because of damage or defect due to willful neglect or negligence by anyone other than Us; (b) to loss of quality, degradation of performance or actual damage that results from the use of spare parts or other replaceable items (such as consumables) that are neither made nor recommended by Canon; (c) to a loss of quality, degradation of performance or damage that results from the installation of, damage to, or modification to the Product and/or Software by someone else other than Our representatives or because of damage that results from changes required by you or a Third Party; (d) to damage that results from your connection of  other fittings or accessories to the Product which We have not approved or your connection of other equipment or software not approved by Us; (e) because of external causes outside Our control which shall include accident, fire disaster or burglary; (f) because of faults caused by shock or fall, sand, dust, dirt, damp or corrosion, leaky batteries, repair or cleaning by unauthorised personnel; (g) because of any mal­function or specific requirement of any other item of hardware, or software which you have linked to the Product in respect of items not included in the Contract; (h) to correct errors in any non-Canon proprietary software or other software not provided by Us; (i) because data is lost or damaged; (j) to damage caused by your attachment of the Product to a network not approved by Us or because you have made changes to your Operating or Network system in a manner not approved by Us; (k) because you have not installed any error correction that We issue for the software or have otherwise not followed Our reasonable instructions or advice.

Canon (UK) Ltd Warranty Terms and Conditions for Multimedia Projectors

Thank you for purchasing this Canon product. Should you need to use our warranty service on this product, we refer you to the terms and conditions stipulated below.

Standard European Warranty Sytem (EWS) Conditions

Canon and the EWS-members warrant the hardware of this product to be in good working order during the warranty period. In the event that the hardware is found to be defective within the warranty period, hardware repair service will be provided free of charge at the authorized Canon service centre(s) in the countries of membership of EWS.

EWS service free of charge may be obtained only against presentation of this warranty card together with the original invoice/cash ticket issued to the customer by the retailer, and if the warranty card states (a) the purchaser's name, (b) the retailer's name and address, (c) the model name and serial number, if any, of the purchased product and (d) the date of purchase of the product. Canon reserves the right to refuse warranty service if this information is not complete or has been removed or changed after the original purchase of the product by the consumer from the retailer. Canon further reserves the right to replace the defective product with another equivalent product which has quality same as or similar to that of the defective product, instead of repairing the defective product.

1.     Warranty period
This warranty is valid for one year from the original purchase date of the new product (three years in case of projectors), as evidenced by the above mentioned documents.

2.     To obtain warranty service
Warranty service is available in the authorized Canon service centres.  A list of authorized Canon service centres can be found at www.canon.co.uk

Any costs of secure transportation of the product to and from the Canon service centre will be borne by the customer. If the product is brought into a country which is not covered by EWS and which does not accept the warranty card, the product must be returned to the country where it was purchased in order to benefit from the warranty.

3.     Limitations
Canon and the EWS-members do not warrant the following:
-      Periodic check-ups, maintenance and repair or replacement of parts due to normal wear and tear.
-      Consumables.
-      Any software.
-      Defects caused by modifications carried out without Canon's approval.
-      Costs incurred by Canon service centres in making any adaptations or modifications of a product necessary for country specific technical or safety standards or specifications, or any other costs to adjust the product as a result of any specifications which have changed since the delivery of the product.
-      Damage resulting from the fact that a product is not conforming to country specific standards or specifications in another country than the country of purchase.

Warranty repair service is excluded if damage or defects have been caused by:
-      Improper use, excessive use, handling or operation of the product as referred to in the users' or operators' manuals and/or relevant user documents, including without limitation, incorrect storage, dropping, excessive shocks, corrosions, dirt, water or sand damages.
-     Repairs, modifications or cleaning carried out at a service centre not authorized by Canon.
-     Use of spare parts, software or consumables (such as ink, paper, toner or batteries) which are not compatible with the product. Compatibility is ensured if consumables are used which are recommended by Canon.
-     Connecting the product to equipment not approved for connection by Canon.
-      Inadequate packaging of the product when returning it to the authorized Canon service centre.
-     Accidents or disasters or any cause beyond the control of Canon, including but not limited to lightning, water, fire, public disturbances and improper ventilation.

4.     Others
Repair service may be delayed when performed outside of the original country of purchase because the product is not yet sold in that country or sold in a country-specific design. Accordingly, certain spare parts for the product may not be in stock in the country of repair.

It is the responsibility of the customer to backup and save any software files and programs before repair and to restore the same after such repair.

This warranty does not affect the consumer's statutory rights under applicable national legislation in force, nor the consumer's rights against the retailer arising from the sales/purchase contract. In the absence of applicable national legislation, this warranty will be the consumer's sole and exclusive remedy, and neither Canon nor its subsidiaries or other EWS members shall be liable for any incidental or consequential damages for breach of any express or implied warranty of this product.

For full details of the warranty offered in individual countries please contact the relevant EWS member.
