5. WARRANTIES & SUPPORT:

goods sold by us are covered by a warranty of 3 months, or
that required by applicable law. Used products (including
refurbished, second-hand and ex-demo products) will have a
warranty of 90 days, except where otherwise specified. Examine
the specific product's warranty for details of what type of
faults or breakdowns are covered. For any warranty claim, you
must have your original invoice. Any extended warranty offered
by a manufacturer beyond 3 months does not form part of
your contract with us, though we may handle it on the
manufacturer's behalf. Do not attempt to repair, modify or
open any product unless specifically advised by us in writing
or via email to do so as this will invalidate the warranty.
You need your proof of purchase (invoice) for all other
support issues. The warranty runs from the original invoice
date onwards. If a fault does develop or is found, this must
be notified to us promptly. We endeavour to provide technical
support and online facilities to assist / enhance your usage
