Guarantees, Warrantees & 3rd Party Repairs
A Product Guarantee is a promise to the customer that the item will not break in a particular way. As part of that commitment, the relevant brand will repair or replace the item free of charge during the period of Guarantee. This Brand promise, in most cases, covers certain portions of the product and not the product as a whole. As an example, when a bags wheel has broken the relevant brand commits to replace the wheel free of charge so long as that portion of the bag is covered by its Guarantee. This commitment stands even if it is defined as 3rd Party Damage (Explained Later). If a bag is damaged in an area not defined by the Guarantee, then the normal repair process is followed as the damage is seen as normal wear and tear. A charge for the repair may then be expected.
Product warranties are different although, a warranty is often mistaken for a Guarantee, but the difference is an important one. A Warranty only applies to any manufacturing faults on the product. In this instance, the brand is committed to replacing or repairing the product free of charge. An issue of warranty is seen as a faulty product and so every effort is made to resolve the issue with the customer. It does not cover wear and tear or 3rd Party Damage (Explained Next).
Many travellers have been in the unpleasant situation of the Airlines damaging their bag in transit or during the handling process. Unfortunately, you will be charged for the repairs needed on your luggage or bags, as this does not fall under a warranty issue, but because of mishandling. The product has been handled negligently and not due to any manufacturing fault. Luggage is manufactured to withstand general handling but cannot handle abuse. The good news is that a traveller has up to a week to claim from the Airline they used, which means they will pay to fix or replace it. Please ensure that all the Airline swing tickets, stickers etc. remain on the bag until you claim from the airlines. They need all this information to assist you. Please ensure you read the Warranty/Guarantee card that comes with your product, failing that, this information will be openly displayed on the brands own website as well.
