To make a warranty claim please ensure you have the following information:
Proof of purchase (copy of invoice, point of sale receipt or sales order);
Image and description of fault;
Address where the product is currently located; and
Contact details of the claimant (must correspond to the purchaser’s details).
Then please contact Baresque on 1300 306 399 or via email at info@baresque.com.au with the details of warranty claim. Baresque will usually respond within two (2) working days. Given the nature of the products sold and location of our manufacturing partners, warranty claims are usually finalised within 30 days if the products or parts are located in Australia. However if the product requires repair using parts that need to be sourced internationally or the product needs to be replaced, this could take up to 3 months.
