Definition of reasonable wear and tear

Reasonable day-to-day wear does not warrant replacement or refund. The below description should be used to inform what you should expect of the robustness of Hooke Verse products given day-to-day wear;

1. It is reasonable to expect that with day-to-day wear, Hooke Verse products, cables and case, may suffer minor scratches and scuffs.
2. The ear-tips and outer cups of Hooke Audio products are expected to require cleaning, as day-to-day use leaves normal detritus on the silicone and memory foam.
   
3. The ear-tips of the Hooke Verse are expected to require replacement at times, as they are deliberately detachable.

HOW TO OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE

To obtain warranty service, you are required to contact the Hooke Audio Customer Experience Experts with an RMA request under warranty, also within the same warranty period.

Once our customer service team accepts your RMA request, you will be provided details with confirmation of the RMA. This will provide details of the location where the returned item should be posted to. If you have not received these confirmation details, you are not authorised to return products to Hooke Audio. Hooke Audio retains the right to not process products sent to Hooke Audio without Hooke Audio confirmation of the RMA.

To complete the RMA you will be required to:

1. Ship the products back, within one week of being provided the details of the warranty RMA confirmation. This should be confirmed by the timestamp on the package from the postal service and / or the shipping invoice. Hooke Audio reserves the right to not accept returns that are shipped back outside of this timeframe.

3. The RMA number and documentation must be included along with your returned product. 
4. Ship the item with a service providing tracking. You must provide this tracking number to Hooke Audio as part of the validity of the RMA.

Please note that you assume the risk of loss or damage to returned product(s) while in transit back to Hooke Audio. 
5.  Once your return is deemed a warranty replacement, if required, the customer we submit refund requests immediately. You will see the refund as a credit in approximately 5-10 business days, depending on your bank.

  • The items have been received by the Hooke Audio team in the correct time frame, and
  • The item has been correctly packaged and has not been damaged in freight
  • The item is indeed suffering the issue, permitting claim against this warranty
