For hi-fi, home cinema components and speakers
We offer the best value for money extended guarantee in the world. Just £9.99 on all items under £100, or 10% of purchase price on items over £100. TVs and projectors are excluded from this offer, as a wide range have our 6 year guarantee included at the point of purchase.
If you use your 6 Year Hi-Fi, AV and Speaker Guarantee, we’ll:
- Supply you with a free loan unit, so you never have to go without your music/films. (Subject to availability).
- Replace any machine that cannot be repaired.
- Offer you free routine servicing and maintenance checks as often as you want.
- Give you a 45-day cooling off period. If you change your mind within 45 days, we’ll give you a full refund of your 6 Year Hi-Fi, AV and Speaker Guarantee. No questions asked. You may also terminate the agreement at any time during the guarantee period, and get a pro-rata discount.
- Cover the specified items for 6 years.
As well as all of this, you can claim your money back at the end of the 6 year period if unused. Simply return your unused 6 Year Hi-Fi, AV and Speaker Guarantee policy within one month of the expiration date, and we'll refund the price of your guarantee.
You obviously do not need to purchase an extended guarantee at the same time you purchase your electrical goods, and are entitled to shop around. But we don’t think you’ll get a better offer than this.
To take advantage of this phenomenal offer, simply ask!
