Profitec GO - Guarantee Information
Barista & Co Coffee Ltd Warranty and Extended Guarantee – Electrical Products
This applies to Profitec Electrical Products.
We would encourage you to read this policy in full as it only becomes relevant when issues occur and we want to ensure you are clear on our policy before purchase. As an official partner for all the brands we resell, we offer a UK based service centre and guidance before and after your purchase.
We are unable to offer support for items purchased from overseas or from other resellers.
It is very important to us that you are completely happy with your purchase and for this reason we offer a standard 1 year manufacturer’s warranty and a Barista & Co extended 1 year guarantee which means you are covered under this policy for a total of 2 years. This is a back to base policy so you will be responsible for the return shipping cost when making a claim.
This policy is transferrable at our discretion and if you are looking to sell your machine you can also contact us for a buy back price.
What is included?
This policy includes all parts and labour required to fix the reported issue. It also includes the return shipping back to customer but it does not include the shipping cost to our service centre, that is payable by the customer.
The cover is for machines used only for domestic use and with normal usage conditions inline with the manufacturers instructions.
What is not included?
- General cleaning and maintenance, including but not limited to:
- Descaling
- Backflushing
- Cleaning milk components
- Any issue or defect including but not limited to:
- A lack of regular descaling causing scale in the components

Conditions of Manufacturers 1 Year Warranty
Important Information
All guarantee claims shall be contingent upon compliance with our operating instructions. The guarantee period shall commence on the date of purchase (order confirmation required as proof) or date of dispatch when item was preordered. Where the customer is unable to produce this document, the date of production shall apply. Any repairs carried out under guarantee shall not extend the warranty period; nor shall it start a new guarantee period.
Scope of rectification of defects. Within the guarantee period, our authorised retailer (Barista & Co) will rectify all defects on the product that are attributable to faulty workmanship or material defects. Where, in the case of a justified guarantee claim, the defect cannot be rectified by the retailer within a reasonable period of time and where we refuse to rectify the defect or rectification is unreasonably delayed, we declare our willingness to supply a replacement free of charge, to reimburse the reduction in value of the product or to take back the product against reimbursement of the purchase price.
Guarantee exclusion. The guarantee shall not cover damages or malfunctions caused by non-compliance with our operating instructions, dropping, impact, fouling or lime scale build-up, inadequate care and cleaning, natural wear and tear on, for example, seals. The warranty shall lapse if the product has been opened or interfered with by an unauthorized party.
Guarantee limitation. Any further claims, especially claims for compensation of damages incurred outside of the product, will not be entertained unless subject to statutory liability. Repairs under the existing warranty will be carried out by our authorised retailer.
