Product Guarantee

All products are automatically covered by a seven-year guarantee subject to normal use. A longer guarantee period for a particular product is clearly stated where applicable. The guarantee applies from the product's original date of purchase. Please note that products purchased prior to November 2021 are subject to the three-year guarantee that was offered at that time.

The guarantee covers malfunction and manufacturing defects that occur during the stated guarantee period. The guarantee does not cover normal wear and tear, scratches, marks or damage caused by shocks or an accident. The guarantee is not applicable if changes have been made to the product, if it has been used for a purpose for which it was not designed or if it has been stored or installed incorrectly. Specially ordered items outside of our standard product range (as advertised on our website at the time of order) are not covered by the guarantee. For consumables, such as whiteboard pens, tape and paper packaging, we follow the manufacturer's guarantee, which is usually shorter than one (1) year.

In the event of a complaint, AJ Products will examine the product and determine whether the defect is covered by the guarantee. If during the guarantee period the product it is found to be defective, AJ Products may repair the defective product, send replacement parts, replace it with a new item or refund the purchase. AJ Products is responsible for any costs that arise in connection with the repair or replacement of a product, such as shipping costs. If the product is no longer sold by AJ Products, AJ Products will offer a suitable replacement product. It is AJ Products that determines what constitutes a suitable replacement product.

Replacement items or parts provided by AJ Products under the terms of the warranty are covered from the original date of purchase for the remainder of the warranty. Replacements are not guaranteed for an additional seven-year term from the date provided. The exception is where the customer has purchased replacement parts outside of the warranty; these will be fully covered by the warranty as a new purchase.

This guarantee gives you specific rights and is provided to you in addition to the statutory rights given to you by law. It does not in any way prejudice the rights given to you by law. Under Irish consumer law, the consumer has a statutory right to make a claim should the goods not conform to the contract of sale. For goods purchased in Ireland, these rights expire six years from delivery of the goods. A claim under Irish consumer law may be made subject to the defect being present at the time of purchase. Please note that business-to-business purchases are not necessarily subject to these statutory rights.

Except in respect of death or personal injury caused by AJ Products’ negligence, AJ Products shall not be liable to the customer for any indirect or consequential loss or damage (whether for loss of profit or otherwise), costs, expenses, or other claims for compensation except as expressly provided in these Terms and Conditions.
