For items covered under a 12-month warranty as stated on the invoice, customers experiencing issues within that period should contact our Admin Support Team for guidance on the next steps.

For issues arising after the initial 7-day period, our standard warranty terms apply as described in the sections below.

Unless otherwise stated, all products supplied by Yalix Automation are guaranteed to be in full working condition and are covered by a 12-month return-to-base warranty.
