HOW LONG DOES THIS COVERAGE LAST

Baratza guarantees this product in specified territories for 2 years from the date of original purchase of these products. The Guarantee period may be greater for some appliances or for some parts of appliances.

 

WHO IS COVERED

Baratza grants this Guarantee only to the first-time purchaser (end consumer). The Guarantee will not be transferred upon resale to subsequent owners or purchasers. If a product is replaced under the Guarantee, the original guarantee period will not be extended. The guarantee period starts with the invoice date of the original purchase. Baratza products covered by this commercial Guarantee are intended for private household (non-commercial) use only. Any other use, including, without limitation, (i) any corporate, commercial (B2B), office, shop and/or store of the Baratza products and (ii) purchases made under invoices that exclude the VAT from the total amount, shall not be covered by this Guarantee. In addition, there may exist an extended guarantee on certain parts for individual products.

 

LIMITATION OF LIABLITY

Baratza shall not be responsible for any incidental or consequential damages. Some countries, districts, or states do not allow the limitation or exclusion of relief, incidental, consequential, special, or indirect damages, or the limitation of liability to special amounts, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.

HOW TO OBTAIN OUR SERVICES

BARATZA GUARANTEE PROCEDURE

 

To obtain the benefit of this Guarantee, please follow the procedure below:

FOR GUARANTEE PROCEDURE DO NOT RETURN PRODUCT TO A RETAIL SHOP

A claim of Guarantee service takes place after a case is created with Baratza customer service (contact information: Support by Country (baratza.com) ).

Submitting for repair or replacement is free of charge for the customer if the service is requested in the country in which the device was purchased.

Please follow these instructions, subject to the terms of the Guarantee, to receive faster service:

  1. Write down the product model number and serial number. These details can usually be found on a sticker or moulded into the product housing and are typically located underneath or on the back of the product.
  2. Have the original or a copy of the sales receipt available.
  3. Contact Baratza Customer Support through our website.
  4. If the product, or one of its parts, qualifies for replacement or service under the Guarantee, Baratza will issue a case number and a pre-paid shipping label via email so that the product may be sent to Baratza at no cost to you. Baratza will not accept any returns without prior approval or not returned using the pre-paid return label provided by Baratza. Upon receipt of the product, Baratza may ship the replacement or contact you with further information regarding repair of the product. Typical turnaround time to address Guarantee claims is up to 15 business days, plus shipping time, depending on your geographical location and type of damage or Guarantee claim.
  5. A Baratza product is considered DOA if it shows symptoms of an equipment failure, preventing basic operability, when you first use it after opening the box. If you believe that your product is DOA, please contact Baratza within 30 calendar days of the invoice date. Baratza will determine whether the product is DOA and will arrange for the DOA product's return and ship you a replacement product at Baratza’s expense.
  6. For additional protection of the product and to ensure secure handling while a product is being returned for any Guarantee repair, Baratza will share packaging instructions. Baratza is not responsible for damage in transit caused by inadequate packaging.
  7. During the Guarantee period, Baratza will repair or replace a defective product at its sole discretion. However, if the product includes a number of accessories, only the defective part or accessory will be replaced.
  8. Baratza reserves the right to make minor adjustments instead of replacing the product or accessory. Packaging, instructions, recipes etc. will not be replaced.
