  • Warranty is extended to 10 years from the date of delivery.
  • Our Money Back guarantee is extended from 60 days to 180 days (terms apply after 60 days)
  • Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty

Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.

For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.

This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.
