How does Sterra Care differ from the Manufacturer Warranty?Updated 6 days ago

All Sterra products are covered by a manufacturer's warranty. Additionally, Sterra Care is an optional service that can be purchased to extend your warranty period for added peace of mind.


Sterra Care – Extended Warranty

  • Sterra Care is an optional extended warranty that you may purchase as an add-on for eligible products.
  • Sterra Care coverage period and pricing are stated on the relevant product page or purchase documentation.
  • Sterra Care coverage begins immediately after the Manufacturer Warranty expires, unless otherwise stated.
  • Sterra Care is tied to the specific product and order number and is non-transferable and non-refundable once activated.

What Sterra Care Covers

Sterra Care generally covers:

  • Mechanical and electrical failures caused by manufacturing defects, which arise under normal domestic use during the Sterra Care coverage period.

Under Sterra Care, Sterra may, at its discretion:

  • repair the product; or
  • replace defective components with new or refurbished parts of equivalent performance; or
  • provide another remedy we reasonably deem appropriate.

Unless clearly stated otherwise on the product page:

  • Parts required to remedy a covered fault are included under Sterra Care.
  • Call-out fees and labour charges may still apply 

Consumables and wear-and-tear items remain excluded from Sterra Care.


What Sterra Care Does Not Cover

Sterra Care does not cover:

  • Products not purchased from Sterra Singapore or authorised Sterra retailers in Singapore.

    Accessories, freebies and complimentary items bundled with the main product unless explicitly stated otherwise.

  • Consumables, wear-and-tear components, and normal wear and tear, scratches, dents, discolouration, rust, stains, odours or other cosmetic damage that does not affect the performance of the product.

  • Cosmetic parts that do not affect functionality.

  • Installation not performed by Sterra or authorised partners, where Sterra installation is required for warranty.

  • Damage or malfunction resulting from improper installation, misuse, abuse, negligence, user error or failure to follow the Owner’s Manual

  • Damage arising from external causes

  • Damage discovered after delivery/installation, where such damage could reasonably have been identified and raised at the time of delivery/installation but was not.

  • Loss or damage to property, contents, food, or other items arising from product malfunction

  • Any products where the serial number is removed, defaced or tampered with.

  • Consumables, filters, O-rings, seals, tubing, valves, pumps and similar wear parts unless explicitly stated;

  • Accidental damage, misuse, abuse or external events;

  • Damage caused by unauthorised repairs or modifications.
