I.R.I.S. - Return / Warranty System (IRWS)

Warranty period is always valid as from purchase date of covered product based on a valid proof of purchase. Warranty period end date is always based on initial Purchase date of Product. Warranty period may vary depending of the purchase location and (optional) Extended IRIS Warranty Service (EIRWS) when applicable.
IRWS is, by default, valid for two (2) years for European Economic Area (“EEA”) plus Switzerland and, as from Jan 1st 2021, United Kingdom.
IRWS is, by default, valid for one (1) year for Africa, Asia, Canada, Latin America, Middle East and USA, from the date of purchase by the end-user as evidenced by a valid proof of purchase.
In case of direct purchase of IRIS scanner product on Canon Web Store, the IRWS period validity is also valid for two (2) years for Russia, Turkey and United Arab Emirates.

The IRWS is comprised of one service offering and the offering that is applicable to the Customer is determined by the customer address location, the product purchased and the time collapsed since purchase date. For most IRIS consumer products, a replacement service is offered. If a product develops a manufacturing fault during the warranty period then it is eligible for return to IRIS Headquarter Center approved repair facility where it will be replaced or exchanged free of charge by IRIS authorized technicians. The repaired or new product will then be returned to Customer once repaired or once replacement is completed. In case no repair or replacement is possible then a refund process will be assessed. For full terms and conditions of all warranty types, please click on the relevant warranty offering below.

2.1 “Return To Base” Principle
IRIS warrants the hardware of its product to be in good working order during at least the who warranty period as long as product usage is in line with what the product is initially designed for. In the event that the hardware is found to be defective within the warranty period, “Return To base” IRIS Warranty System allows hardware repair service to be provided free of charge at the IRIS headquarter service center covering the Customer address location.
This “Return To Base” Warranty System applies to IRIS Scanner products, intended for and purchased, within the European Economic Area (“EEA”) plus Switzerland, United Kingdom (as of Jan 1st, 2021), USA and Canada. For other regions, “Return To Base” is not applicable, please refer to “Destruction on field” Principle.
IRWS service free of charge may be obtained directly by IRIS headquarter Center** on IRIS website support section only against presentation of an official IRIS RMA number together with the original invoice/cash ticket issued to the customer along with (a) the purchaser's name, (b) the model name and (c) serial or batch number of the purchased product. IRIS reserves the right to refuse warranty service if this information is not complete and/or has been removed or changed after the original purchase of the product by the Customer.

IRIS may, at its sole discretion & decision, repair or replace IRIS scanners products with new or reconditioned parts or products of equivalent to new performance and reliability. IRIS may also replace products with equivalent models when the original model or version has been discontinued. Reconditioned parts or products will only be used if it is permissible to do so under the statutory law of the country where warranty is applied.

2.2 “Click & Collect” Principle
IRIS warrants the hardware of its product to be in good working order during at least the whole warranty period as long as product usage is in line with what the product is initially designed for. IRIS offers two optional Extended IRIS Warranty Services (EIRWS). These optional services, named “IRISCare”, have to be bought at the same time than the covered product it is related to.
EIRWS offers the Customer the possibility to extend the regular warranty period to a total of 3 (three) or 4 (four) years of coverage. EIRWS also offers an additional peace of mind where IRIS, on top of the regular IRWS coverage described in “Return To Base”, will collect within 10 business days the faulty product on customer’ site and ship back the repaired or exchanged new product to the same collect address. “Click & Collect” service is only eligible if (1) an IRISCare Service has been bought simultaneously to the product purchase and (2) collect address is located in United Kingdom, Belgium, The Netherlands, Italy, Spain, France (mainland only), Germany or Portugal. Same proof of purchase applies along with RMA number to get prior collecting product.

2.3 “Destruction on field” Principle
IRIS warrants the hardware of its product to be in good working order during at least the whole warranty period as long as product usage is in line with what the product is initially designed for. For countries not listed in “Return To base” Principle, it is not possible to offer a proper IRWS Return To Base or IRWS Click & Collect process. As a result, in case of faulty product still under a valid warranty period with a valid proof of Purchase, IRIS Technicians from IRWS Headquarter Center will remotely assess and confirm defectivity. In case of fault confirmed and to reduce logistic burden, IRWS Headquarter will edit a credit note matching the product invoiced amount and refund the customer if and only if (1) Customer purchased effectively product directly on IRIS webstore and (2) a destruction letter is duly filled in and signed by Customer.
In case Product has been bought directly on Canon webstore, Customer will be redirect to their Canon local support for a request of refund by Canon directly. Please check out with Canon Local Support for refund policy & condition on Canon website.

IMPORTANT: Whatever Principle to be applied (“Return To Base”, “Click & Collect”, “Destruction on field” or “30 days Money back guarantee”), please note the optional IRISCare Service (EIRWS) cannot be eligible for refund.

For US and Canadian customers, a return label or a pickup request has to be requested to IRIS customer service. In any case IRIS does not accept and will automatically reject any “cash on delivery” for the shipping cost of product returned to IRIS headquarter Service Center.
In case Product enjoys an Extended IRIS Warranty Service (EIRWS) then the “Click & Collect Principle” applies and IRIS will bear return cost back to IRIS and shipping cost back to Customer in eligible countries. In such event, IRIS scanners will be picked at customer address location and send back to the same customer address location at no additional charges. Please note IRISCare service (EIRWS) is only eligible for customer address located in United Kingdom, Belgium, The Netherlands, Italy, Spain, France (mainland only), Germany and Portugal.
In case the product is brought into a country which is not covered by IRWS “Return To Base” or “Click & Collect” Principle, the product must be first returned to the country where it was initially purchased in order to benefit from the warranty.
IMPORTANT: In case the IRIS RMA form duly filled in is not attached with the product return, the product will be put in quarantine and kept during maximum one calendar month at IRIS premises waiting for sender to pick-up back the product(s) at his own expenses. After one calendar month, product will be destroyed and no refund under any form for any reason will be due anymore to sender.
