The fine print, decoded

What it leaves out

  • Accidental breaks and misuse
Good to know before you buy
  • If you bought from a store or distributor, file the claim with that seller, not Unistellar.
  • Keep the original box and invoice.
  • Opening or modifying the telescope voids the warranty, and drops and wear are not covered.
  • A repaired or replaced unit keeps the original warranty end date.
