COMPLETE WARRANTY STATEMENT – WET/DRY VACUUM
As soon as you have purchased the wet/dry vacuum, we recommend that you check to make
sure it is intact and that you read the operating instructions carefully before using it. The
purchase receipt for this product is to be retained and must be presented if making a claim
under the terms of the Smart Marketing Group (SMG) warranty. Bank account statements are
not acceptable for proof of purchase.
This warranty does not cover wet/dry vacuum intended for hire or use in commercial
applications or in commercial premises. The warranty will under no circumstances extend to
reimbursement or payment of damages, whether direct, indirect or consequential.
The warranty is void if there is evidence the wet/dry vacuum has been modified or tampered
with in any way or used with unauthorised accessories without our consent.
SMG declines any responsibility or liability whatsoever arising from misuse or abuse, negligent
handling of the wet/dry vacuum or if the product has not been installed or failure to comply
with the relevant safety, operating, setting and maintenance instructions (see further in this
manual). The warranty does not extend to installation or disconnection costs.
Any item sent freight forward/collect for repair will be refused. Warranty repairs are free of
charge, provided the product is delivered to our service department or authorised service
agent. The wet/dry vacuum will need to be returned, adequately protected in a box. SMG
will not be responsible for any in-transit loss or damage. Assistance under the warranty will
only be made available if the request is made to our customer service team on the contact
numbers listed below and proof of purchase is provided.

service agent after contacting our customer service centre.

component will be replaced or repaired.
SMG reserves the right to replace defective parts of the product with parts and components
of similar quality, grade and composition where an identical part or component is not available.
Products presented for repair may be replaced by refurbished products of the same type
rather than being repaired. Refurbished parts may be used to repair the products.

to attached equipment or third party accessories will not be covered under this warranty. Rust
and corrosion are not covered under this warranty.

product will be returned and any costs associated with the service will be charged to the owner.

are not covered by this warranty.
SMG reserves the right to replace or repair the product within the warranty period. Parts found
to be defective due to a manufacturing fault will be replaced free of charge.
In the event of SMG choosing to replace the product, the warranty will expire at the original
date of purchase. If no warranty fault is found the owner will be advised and the product will
be returned and any costs associated with the service will be charged to the owner.
