Defective Items After 30 Days

Troubleshooting and product support may be available to resolve any issues with your product, as outlined in the Product Support Help page. If your item becomes defective after the Geneva Brasswind return period, Geneva Brasswind will repair any defective item. The repair will be completed by the manufacturer or by a third-party repair service provider authorised by the manufacturers to repair their products. If a repair is not possible, we’ll send you a replacement, and if a replacement is not available, we will refund the purchase price. Repair is only available for qualifying items sold by Geneva Brasswind.co.uk or Geneva Brasswind Warehouse. Geneva Brasswind does not accept a return after 30 days for consumable products (e.g. batteries, fuses, ink, light bulbs, etc.) or if the defect is due to accidental damage, deliberate damage, caused by external factors, or general wear and tear.
