What is covered by the Warranty:

  • The Tero appliance and/or non-removable parts found to be defective, at Tero's sole discretion, will be repaired or replaced, at Tero's absolute discretion, up to one (1) year after the date of purchase as shown on the original invoice issued by Tero.
  • Repair and shipping costs.
  • In the event of the replacement of a Tero device, the warranty expires six (6) months after the date of receipt of the replacement device or the remainder of the existing warranty, whichever is later.

What is not covered by the warranty:

  • Normal wear and tear on parts (such as blades and charcoal filters) that require regular maintenance and/or replacement to keep your Tero device working properly is not covered by the Warranty. Replacement parts are available for purchase on the website.
  • Any damage caused by misuse, abuse, negligent handling, lack of maintenance (e.g., failure to use the Tero in accordance with the instructions in the User's Guide), or damage caused by mishandling during shipment.
  • Any Tero device that has been altered or used for commercial purposes.
  • Any defect caused by repairs not authorized by Tero.

Warranty coverage applies to the original owner and the original Tero device only and is not transferable.

Any repairs may, at Tero's sole discretion, be performed at a Tero Certified Service Centre. Before going to a Tero Certified Service Centre, you must obtain a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number from Tero Technical Support.

You agree and acknowledge that upon expiration of the warranty, you will be responsible for all repairs and shipping costs.

Tero may, but is not obligated to, sell your replacement or substitute parts for any repair not covered by the warranty.

    ARTICLE 23 - EVENTS BEYOND TERO'S CONTROL

    While Tero will take reasonable steps to meet its delivery schedules, you hereby expressly acknowledge and agree that it is possible that Tero may encounter unforeseen circumstances during product development, production and shipment that may result in additional delays and revisions to any such schedule established by Tero from time to time. You further acknowledge - and agree - that Tero is also dependent upon and influenced by factors external to the organization (by way of example only: events of force majeure such as, but not limited to, natural disasters, shortages of raw materials affecting its supply chain, pandemics and epidemics) that could affect any such schedule. Finally, Tero wishes to deliver a sustainable product that meets the expectations of its customers, so the organization reserves the right to modify the schedule in order to meet these quality criteria.

    That said, Tero undertakes to keep customers informed by email (the one provided when ordering) of the status of their order. By clicking on “Payment”, the customer accepts these risks (including those related to a crowdfunding and/or presale campaign) and these Terms and Conditions of Use and Sale.
