HOW TO OBTAIN OUR SERVICES

 

SAGE GUARANTEE PROCEDURE

 

To obtain the benefit of this Guarantee, please follow the procedure below:

 

FOR GUARANTEE PROCEDURE DO NOT RETURN PRODUCT TO A RETAIL SHOP

 

A claim of Guarantee service takes place after a case is created with Sage customer service via contact information: Sage Customer Service Finland.

Submitting for repair or replacement is free of charge for the customer if the service is requested in the country in which the device was purchased.

 

Please follow these instructions, subject to the terms of the Guarantee, to receive faster service:

 

1. Write down the product model number and serial number.  These details can usually be found on a sticker or moulded into the product housing and are typically located underneath or on the back of the product.

 

 

2. Have the original or a copy of the sales receipt available.

3. Contact Sage Customer Support through our website.

4. If the product, or one of its parts, qualifies for replacement or service under the Guarantee, Sage will issue a case number and a pre-paid shipping label via email so that the product may be sent to Sage at no cost to you.  Sage will not accept any returns without prior approval or not returned using the pre-paid return label provided by Sage. Upon receipt of the product, Sage may ship the replacement or contact you with further information regarding repair of the product.  Typical turnaround time to address Guarantee claims is up to 15 business days, plus shipping time, depending on your geographical location and type of damage or Guarantee claim.
