2. Terms & Conditions

The IWS 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.

“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.
IWS 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.

“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 (EIWS). These optional services, named “IRISCare”, have to be bought at the same time than the covered product it is related to.
EIWS offers the Customer the possibility to extend the regular warranty period to a total of 3 (three) or 4 (four) years of coverage. EIWS also offers an additional peace of mind where IRIS, on top of the regular IWS 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.

“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 IWS Return To Base or IWS 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 IWS Headquarter Center will remotely assess and confirm defectivity. In case of fault confirmed and to reduce logistic burden, IWS 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.
