Exclusive 7 Year Warranty
BERNINA machines are designed to give you many years of happy and productive sewing. So for your complete peace of mind, we are now offering a full 7-year parts and labour warranty* on new BERNINA sewing machines purchased from an authorised BERNINA UK stockist.
All we require is that the machines are used and looked after according to the maintenance section of your manual, and they are serviced by an authorised BERNINA service engineer either when your machine indicates that a service is required or every 3 years, whichever is sooner.
To receive the extended warranty, you must return the completed warranty registration card that comes with your machine, signed by your stockist. We will send a Certificate of Extended Warranty that specifies the conditions and includes a service record to be completed by the authorised service engineer.
The owner is responsible for the cost of freight and for any damage sustained in transit. You should retain the original packaging for the purposes of transporting your machine.
Exclusions
Accidental damage and wear and tear are excluded, as are consumable parts, including needles, bolts, and bobbins. The extended warranty only applies to machines in normal domestic use. Machines used for teaching or commercial purposes have a one-year warranty.
