Electrical Warranty Policy
Our Commitment to Quality
At Zilion, we are dedicated to providing our customers with professional, salon-grade electrical haircare and beauty tools. Because we are an authorized retailer for every brand we stock, your purchase is protected by official manufacturer warranties. This policy outlines how those warranties work and the steps required to protect your investment.
Warranty Coverage
The electrical warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship that arise under normal usage conditions, as defined in the product’s instruction manual.
Warranty Period
The duration of coverage varies significantly by brand and specific model (e.g., professional hair dryers vs. styling irons). Please consult the product packaging or the manufacturer’s documentation included in the box for your specific warranty period.
Warranty Exclusions
The warranty becomes void and does not cover:
-
Damage caused by misuse, neglect, accidental dropping, or improper handling.
-
Unauthorized repairs, tampering, or modifications by third parties.
-
Normal wear and tear (e.g., frayed cords or aesthetic scratches).
-
Damage resulting from power surges or use with incorrect voltage/travel adapters.
-
Products without a valid proof of purchase from Zilion.
-
Consumables or accessories (e.g., brushes or attachments) unless specifically stated by the brand.
Essential Requirement: Product Registration
To ensure you are eligible for warranty support, most brands require you to register your tool on their official website within a specific timeframe (usually 2 to 15 days of purchase). Failure to register your product may result in the manufacturer declining your claim.
How to Register Your Tool:
-
Locate the serial number (found on the device or the cord tag).
-
Visit the official manufacturer’s website (e.g., Wella, ghd, etc.) and navigate to the "Product Registration" page.
-
Enter your purchase date, "Zilion" as the retailer, and upload a digital copy of your Zilion invoice.
-
Retain your registration confirmation email for your records.
How to Make a Warranty Claim
Electrical warranties are handled directly by the manufacturers to ensure you receive expert technical assessment. Zilion does not facilitate warranty repairs or replacements in-house.
Steps to initiate a claim:
-
Check Registration: Ensure you registered your product at the time of purchase.
-
Contact the Brand: Reach out to the manufacturer’s customer service team using the contact details provided in your warranty booklet or on their official website.
-
Provide Documentation: You will need to provide your original Zilion invoice and the product serial number.
-
Follow Brand Instructions: The manufacturer will provide instructions on where to send the tool for assessment.
Claim Resolutions
Once the manufacturer has assessed the device, they will typically offer one of the following, depending on the fault and their specific brand policy:
-
Repair: Professional repair of the defective unit.
-
Replacement: A new or refurbished unit of the same or equivalent model.
-
Refund/Credit: Issued only if a repair or replacement is not possible.
Shipping Costs
For warranty assessments, customers are generally responsible for the shipping costs involved in sending the product to the manufacturer’s service center. Any reimbursement of these costs is at the sole discretion of the brand.
Manufacturer’s Liability
All electrical products are sold subject to the terms and conditions provided by the manufacturer. Customers should refer to the specific documentation provided with their device for complete details on their rights under that brand’s warranty.
Limitation of Liability
Except as required by New Zealand Consumer Protection Laws, Zilion shall not be held liable for any incidental, indirect, or consequential damages arising from the use (or inability to use) any electrical product purchased from us.
