Cable Warranty
Lifetime Warranty Terms & Conditions
When paying a premium for professional hand crafted cables you expect them to last. Ordio Cables are so confident in our products and experienced staff we exceed our customers expectations by offering a Lifetime Workmanship Warranty. We also believe that when humans make mistakes it’s the honest ones that come forward to make it right.
Every single cable that leaves our workshop is covered by our limited lifetime workmanship warranty. In the unfortunate event of a genuine warranty claim please read our terms and conditions below to understand what is, and what may not be covered within our Lifetime Workmanship Warranty.
Hardware Warranty
General Hardware
The manufacturers of the brands we carry and supply provide us (the wholesaler) and you (the customer) the same limited hardware warranty. All materials supplied by the common brands such as Canare, Mogami, Belden, Van Damme and Klotz all offer a 12 months standard manufactures warranty. Throughout this time if you have any issues that relate to the physical cable, connector or custom shop hardware product you have purchased from us are covered by warranty.
All hardware warranty claims must be made aware to us by phone or email strictly within 12 months from date of purchase. If the cable has been misused or used for any other purpose other than its intended purpose it will not be covered under the manufactures warranty. Cables that are returned to us that show obvious signs of abuse such as; Cut, sliced, excessively twisted, incorrectly rolled or poorly stored cables are typically not covered under warranty. Connectors that appear to be mistreated, snapped, out of shape or discoloured due to being exposed to any form of liquid also not covered under warranty.
All other hardware including patch panels, custom made stage boxes, splitter boxes and multicore products that have been abused way beyond general wear and tear are also not be eligible for repair or replacement under warranty. We encourage all of our customers to carefully inspect all products upon delivery and report any obvious defects prior to using it. The sooner you discover any potential issues the faster we can rapidly repair or replace the item.
Custom Cable Labels
The labels we supply either fixed to our cables or supplied separately are excluded from our Lifetime Warranty Terms. The black text on white background labels whether it be a heat shrink, clear plastic sleeve and collar style cable labels are not guaranteed for life or are covered under our hardware or workmanship lifetime warranty. The thermal printer used in the printing of text onto each cable label is not designed to be 100% smudge proof or durable enough for some heavy duty applications. By default, the printer and labels we use are primarily designed for permanent installation applications to identify signal and cable type naming.
We do offer a more durable cable label service yet this is only for customers who are investing in bulk orders, repeat orders and mostly for cables of similar diameter, for example standard video and audio cable types. This is a separate and chargeable service we offer whereby artwork needs to be supplied in the appropriate format and an artwork setup fee is applied per new design. If you have any questions or are interested in doing a test run of labels please contact us.
