Thank you for purchasing from DDS. The standard warranty on all products supplied by DDS is 1 year with the exception below:

14 Day No Quibble Returns

Our “no quibble” 14-day guarantee is from the date of invoice. DDS will issue a full refund for goods returned boxed in original new condition with all leads, connectors, manuals and accessories. Any returned goods not in perfect condition will be rejected and no credit will be given. Carriage will not be credited for returns.

Provided you have complied with DDS returns procedure, goods returned after the initial 14 days will incur a minimum of 10-20% handling and restocking fee; this is subject to the type of equipment returned; consumables cannot be returned after the initial 14 day period.

Returns Procedure (RMA Process)

Call our support team to diagnose the issue in the first instance. Advance replacements have to be authorised and must be paid for in advance. No-fault found will incur charges.

The support team will send you an email with an RMA ticket number and completed RMA form. Sign the RMA form and return with the goods. On arrival, the technical team will process the RMA and aim to return within 48-72 hours. You will find our technical support far exceeds any of our competitors.

Returns ticket number does not guarantee that you will receive warranty repair, replacement or that credit will be approved (up to a maximum of £11 for postage reimbursements). Faulty equipment will be tested, repaired or replaced with the same or a product with equivalent specifications. 

Products outside the warranty period or returned damaged may be repaired or replaced for an agreed charge. We guarantee our service, including replacement parts, for 60 days or the remaining term of your DDS warranty, whichever is longer.
