When a consumer buys a product in the UK, they get the benefit of legal rights relating to the quality of the
product (your “statutory rights”). You can enforce these rights against your retailer. However, at Shark® we are
so confident about the quality of our products that we give you an additional manufacturer’s warranty of up
to five years upon registration with Shark®. Offer valid only in United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland. These
terms and conditions relate to our manufacturer’s guarantee only – your statutory rights are unaffected.
The conditions below describe the prerequisites and scope of our guarantee.
Shark® Guarantees
A household appliance like a vacuum cleaner constitutes a sizeable investment. Your new machine needs
to work properly for as long as possible. The guarantee it comes with is an important consideration - and
reflects how much confidence the manufacturer has in its product and manufacturing quality.
Every Shark® machine comes with a free parts and labour guarantee. Our customer service helpline
(0800 862 0453) is open from 9.00am to 6.00pm Monday - Friday. It’s free to call, and you’ll be put straight
through to a Shark® representative. You’ll also find online support at sharkclean.co.uk.
How do I register my extended Shark® guarantee?
If you have purchased your vacuum directly from sharkclean.co.uk your extended guarantee is registered
automatically. You can also register your guarantee online within 28 days of purchase. To save time, you’ll
need the following information about your machine:
• Date you purchased the machine (receipt or delivery note)
• Model Number
IMPORTANT
• Both the 1 year and the extended 4 years guarantee will only cover your product from the date of purchase.
• Please keep your receipt at all times. Should you need to use your extended guarantee we will need your
receipt to verify the information you have supplied to us is correct. The inability to produce a valid receipt
may invalidate your ability to claim against your guarantee.
What are the benefits of registering my free Shark® guarantee?

receive tips and advice on how to get the best out of your Shark® vacuum and hear the latest news about new

for a total of five years (1 year plus an extended guarantee of 4 years).
What is covered by the free Shark® guarantee?
At Shark’s discretion repair or replacement of your Shark® machine, including all parts and labour. A Shark®
