All our electronic devices carry a 3 Month Warranty (90 days) subject to our terms and conditions.

In order to benefit under the manufacturer’s warranty, we would in the event of a problem with your device require proof of purchase (order number) within the 3-month period as well as the packaging it originally came in (i.e., box).
