What Does the Warranty Cover?

All products sold by Volkano, or authorized resellers, are covered by a limited warranty.

Warranty queries related to purchases made through authorized retailers and eCommerce sellers are handled by the platform of purchase; however, should you require additional assistance please contact us at info@za.volkano.com

For quality-related limited warranty claims, item(s) will be replaced with a new item(s) or an available option. In situations where this is not possible, Volkano will offer a full or partial refund according to the usage time of the device (offers may vary) (is it necessary to include this?).

Warranties on all replacements follow the same warranty timeframe of the original defective item, or 3 months after being replaced, whichever is longer. Warranties on products are void after having been fully refunded.

Volkano™ or its retailers will either replace the product or provide you with a shipping return label for a refund (restrictions may apply).
