Warranty
The manufacturer’s commitment to repair or replace a device that develops a defect within a set period.
Technical level:Basic
Warranty covers manufacturing and operating defects, not damage from misuse, moisture, surges or opening by unauthorised technicians. Its length differs by product category, and batteries usually have terms of their own.
For full cover, the warranty must be registered within 10 days of purchase, with the serial number and the proof of purchase. myTescom shows the warranty of each of your devices.
Keep the receipt or invoice. Without proof of purchase, the warranty may be counted from the date the unit was sold to the reseller.
