Warranties
Items bought from Guitar Gear Pro carry warranty against manufacturer's defects. This is normally 12 months but in the case of products, such as strings, these will have a limited life when in use and will wear out and go dull. This is normal and not a defect. An item relates to one unit purchased, for instance one set of strings equates to a single unit.

Faulty Goods
We quality check all of our items before shipping them to you. However, if a product becomes faulty within 28 days of the date of delivery, we will arrange for the collection and replacement of faulty goods within the UK.
Outside of 28 days from the date of delivery to a maximum of 12 months, we will arrange for the return of faulty goods from us to the manufacturers for repair, under the terms of manufacturer's warranty.
Any returned goods must be properly packaged and suitable for transportation.
After 12 months the purchaser will be liable for any carriage costs and repair costs (unless of course the item still falls within the manufacturer's warranty period).
This policy is invalidated if the goods have been altered in any way from their original condition, or if the fault is due to misuse by the purchaser and we reserve the right to assess any goods before agreeing to take any action. Goods cannot be returned as faulty where a specific defect in the product was brought to the attention of the customer at the point of sale.
Refunds can only be made by the method originally used to pay for the goods. The funds should appear on the customer's bank statement within 3-5 working days - please note that refund times are dictated by the card issuers and are outside our control.
