LAURASTAR WARRANTY

If an appliance marketed by LAURASTAR proves defective, LAURASTAR accepts responsibility for the repair of these defects, in accordance with the terms of cover specified out in its Warranty Booklet.

 

SERVICE / REPAIR WARRANTY

LAURASTAR offers a 12-month service / repair warranty, providing that the service / repair is carried out at the LAURASTAR Repair Centre.

LAURASTAR does not offer a warranty for services / repairs that are not carried out at the LAURASTAR Repair Centre.

 
AVAILABILITY OF SPARE PARTS

As LAURASTAR provides a manufacturer’s warranty on its appliances, only spare parts, components and accessories that do not require the disassembly of the appliance are available for purchase.

If it proves necessary to disassemble the appliance, a repair request must be made to the LAURASTAR Customer Service.

 

REPAIR REQUEST PROCEDURE

For any repair request, please complete the repair request form and follow the instructions provided. This form is available on the LAURASTAR website or from the LAURASTAR Customer Service Department (www.laurastar.com).
