Warranty Claim

A Warranty Claim is when a Customer claims free repairs within the Warranty Period of the item/service you're providing.

If you are selling Items under warranty or if you have sold and extended service contract like the Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC), your Customer may contact you about an issue or a break-down of the product and provide you the Serial No of this Item.
