Warranty
FOR USA and CANADA END PURCHASERS ONLY
Stellarvue (SV) warrants that each SV brand telescope and accessory shall be free from defects in materials and workmanship for two years from the date of purchase. SV will repair or replace such product or part thereof, which upon inspection by SV is found defective in materials or workmanship. As a condition to the obligation of SV to repair or replace such product, the product must be returned to SV as specified in this warranty.
Warranty registration is easy. Within thirty days of your purchase, go to our warranty registration page to complete and submit the form.
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY APPLIES ONLY TO THE ORIGINAL PURCHASER AND LASTS ONLY AS LONG AS THE PURCHASER OWNS THE PRODUCT.
Warning: We can only guarantee the optical performance of a Stellarvue telescope to the original owner. Once the original owner has sold the telescope, we can no longer guarantee the optical performance to the next buyer. Many telescopes are modified, mishandled, stored improperly, or dropped. This can cause stress damage to the glass and damage to otherwise durable optical coatings. The only used Stellarvue telescopes that are guaranteed are those sold by Stellarvue exclusively as Certified Pre-Owned. Those telescopes are extensively evaluated in our facility with advanced test equipment to ensure they have not been compromised and operate according to original specifications.
