What's Covered?
Your Camera Mechanics Warranty includes everything that is covered in the original manufacturer’s warranty. The benefit of our Extended Warranty is that you will have peace of mind beyond the period of the manufacturer’s warranty. Camera Mechanics will arrange repair and you will not have to deal with the manufacturer.
What isn't covered?
The Cover will be considered void if the equipment has been damaged by misuse, failure to follow operating and maintenance instructions, wear, impact, water/liquid, foreign particles, battery corrosion, unauthorised repair, or treated in any way which causes the equipment to malfunction.
