WHAT ARE MY LEGAL RIGHTS
The contents of this page do not affect your legal rights, which include the right to a remedy for defective goods. If you buy goods which are faulty when sold you have the right to claim for a repair or replacement for up to 6 years (5 in Scotland) from the date of purchase.
However, after the first 6 months you have to show that the fault was there from the start and the longer it takes for the fault to show up the more difficult that becomes. A Care Plan gives you benefits which are in addition to your legal rights and your product will be repaired free of charge if it breaks down or malfunctions at any time while your Care Plan is current without you having to prove that the fault was present at time of sale. Further information about your legal rights can be obtained from your local Trading Standards Department or the Citizens Advice Bureau.
Your service agreement will be cancelled in the event of any fraud, or attempted fraud and you will not be entitled to a refund.
DO I HAVE TO PURCHASE A SUPPORT AGREEMENT AT THE SAME TIME AS THE PRODUCT?
You can purchase a support agreement any time up to one year from buying your product. Product support agreements are not available on damaged products. Extended warranties may be available from other companies.

If you require support and advice or for any reason your product isn't working, please call the number that was given to you on purchase of your Care Plan, or call our Knowhow Contact Centre on 0344 561 1234; we will try to diagnose the problem and find a solution.
If we can't solve the problem over the phone we will repair the product or replace it. During the call we will advise on next steps. You may be required to take a portable product to one of our stores.
MULTIPLE FAILURES
If your product breaks down again after being repaired on three previous occasions, and your product is still within your Care Plan, then you may request a replacement. This benefit applies on the 4th separate mechanical or electrical failure.
24/7 HELP & ADVICE
Our 24/7 Help & Advice service covers a variety of products including computing, home entertainment and gadgets.
14 DAY REPAIR PROMISE
