DIGITAL CAMERAS - WARRANTY TERMS & CONDITIONS FOR NEW ZEALAND

What is a warranty?

When you bought your FUJIFILM product, you were given a warranty, which means for certain period after purchase, any manufacturing defect will be repaired free-of-charge or replaced (with the same product if reasonably available or with an equivalent product). Our products are extremely reliable, but like all complex equipment, it is possible that faults can develop over time.

How long does my warranty last?

   *The 3 year warranty is not transferable. Note that products purchased overseas will be subject to the warranties provided a their place of                      purchase.

The warranty period begins from the date printed on your receipt. No warranty claims will be accepted without proof of purchase from an authorized retailer.

What is not considered as a warrantable repair?

The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, scratching, abrasions or cosmetic damage. More specifically, it does not cover damage caused by:

• Any misuse or improper handling;
• Dropping or knocking the product;
• A repair, modification or cleaning done by anyone other than FUJIFILM;
• Leaking or exhausted batteries;
• Improper storage (extremes of temperature or humidity);
• The presence of water (or other liquid), sand, dust etc. inside and outside the equipment.

 
What happens if I have lost my proof of purchase?

You can register your equipment on our Warranty Database and this will store your original proof of purchase, in case you might lose it. If you have lost your receipt (or cannot otherwise provide proof of purchase), and didn’t register your equipment, you will have no evidence that the product is within its warranty period, so regrettably, you will have to pay for the repair.

 
How do I send my camera under warranty?

Please refer to Repairs Department for a guide on how to book a repair with us. You can also contact your retailer and they will handle the process for you (this also applies to chargeable jobs).

 
FUJIFILM equipment purchased overseas – will FUJIFILM NZ repair?

Providing the equipment was purchased from an authorized retailer overseas and proof of purchase can be provided, FUJIFILM NZ Limited will attempt to contact FUJIFILM within the country of purchase and arrange a mutually agreeable solution for repair.

Is there a warranty provided by FUJIFILM NZ on the Parts and Labour when my Camera or Lens is repaired?
