Guarantee

This scale is guaranteed for 10 years (postage charged after 1 year, proof of purchase required after 2 years).

The guarantee excludes:

- flat batteries. New batteries will be charged at £5.00 plus £6.50 for return postage (UK).

- if you lose the battery compartment cover (sorry, we don't have spares)

The guarantee is invalid if there is:

- obvious damage, e.g. dents, holes, cracked casing, weighing platform loose.

- signs of 'foreign material'. That's anything that should not be there, e.g. residues of herbs, chemicals, spilt tea, corrosion from leaking batteries.

CALIBRATION

Inaccurate readings can usually be fixed by calibrating the scale, this is something you can do yourself if you have a Calibration weight. THIS IS NOT A FAULT, all electronic measuring devices need calibrating every now and again, see calibrating weighing machines. We can calibrate it for you, for free, if it is returned within one month of purchase; after that, there is a charge of £5.00 + £6.50 postage (UK).
