IMPORTANT NOTE - OBSERVATION PRODUCTS: Products not purchased in the country of residence and through a Vortex Authorised Dealer in the country of residence, for example shipped from the USA or Canada known as "grey imports" are NOT covered by this warranty.

From the Vortex Website:

The Vortex Worldwide Lifetime VIP Warranty covers your purchase worldwide through the distributor or dealer in the country where you purchased your product.

Distributors and dealers in countries other than where you made your purchase may apply service charges due to different rules and regulations in that country. We recommend you make your purchases from your local (UK Authorised) dealer to ensure you get the best service should there ever be a need.

Products that are not imported into your country by the Vortex Authorized Distributor (eg Newpro UK Ltd), including items brought in to a country without having paid the necessary taxes and duties, are considered “Grey Market Products” and are NOT covered by this warranty.

Our warranty is about you, not us. It's about taking care of you after the sale.

The VIP stands for a Very Important Promise to you, our customers. Through our UK Authorised Vortex Dealers we will repair or replace your Vortex binoculars, spotting scope or monocular should it become accidentally damaged and unusable at NO CHARGE TO YOU*. If we cannot repair your product, we will replace it with a product in perfect working order of equal or better physical condition. Other than loss, purposeful damage or mistreatment or cosmetic damage that does not hinder the performance of the product, it doesn't matter how it happened, whose fault it was or which NEWPRO UK authorised Vortex observation optics dealer you purchased it from in the UK. You can count on the VIP Warranty:

• Unlimited lifetime
• Fully transferable
• No warranty card to fill out
• No receipt needed to hang on to

If you ever have a problem, no matter what the cost, we promise that we will take care of you.
*Subject to optional postage / handling charge.

But... please call us first on 01367 242411 or email sales@newprouk.co.uk to discuss what you feel the problem is as we may be able to save you the inconvenience and expense of sending your binocular, spotting 'scope or monocular back to us if it is something relatively minor
