Global OPT Warranty
Buy vintage audio with confidence.
Vintage audio equipment can be 10, 20, 30, 40, or even 50 years old. That should not mean buying without protection. The Global OPT Warranty is designed to give every customer confidence that the equipment they purchase will perform the functions described in its listing—and that professional support will remain available if assistance is needed.
Standard 30-Day Global OPT Warranty
All vintage audio equipment purchased from Global OPT includes a standard 30-day functional warranty.
The warranty begins on the date the carrier confirms delivery to the buyer. During the warranty period, we guarantee that the equipment will perform the functions specifically described as working in the product listing.
If your purchase was completed through an online marketplace, the warranty terms stated in the corresponding marketplace listing also apply.
60-Day Warranty for Purchases Through This Store
Purchases completed and paid for directly through the Global OPT online store automatically receive a 60-day Global OPT Warranty at no additional charge.
No separate warranty purchase is required. The extended 60-day coverage is automatically linked to the order and begins on the confirmed delivery date.
What the Global OPT Warranty Covers
The warranty covers the functional operation of the equipment as described in its product listing. If a covered fault develops during the warranty period, Global OPT will arrange a technical assessment and offer an appropriate solution.
Depending on the diagnosis, availability of parts, repair feasibility, and available inventory, the possible solutions may include:
- Professional diagnosis and repair;
- Replacement with the same or a comparable unit, when available;
- A refund when repair or replacement is not reasonably possible;
- An agreed credit based on the remaining value of the unit toward another item from the Global OPT collection, with the customer paying any applicable price difference.
When several solutions are available, we will explain the options and help the customer choose the most suitable one.
How to Make a Warranty Claim
- Contact Global OPT before opening, repairing, modifying, or returning the equipment.
- Provide your order information and a clear description of the problem.
- When requested, provide photos or a short video demonstrating the fault.
- Follow the diagnostic, packaging, and return instructions provided by Global OPT.
- Allow our technicians to inspect the equipment and determine the cause of the fault.

Warranty Costs
When a fault is confirmed as a valid warranty case and the customer has followed the provided instructions, Global OPT covers the approved warranty diagnosis, repair, and agreed warranty-related shipping costs.
International customs duties, taxes, import or export charges are determined exclusively by the relevant customs authorities. Global OPT will prepare supporting documents intended to help correctly process and, where legally possible, minimize these charges, but we cannot control or guarantee decisions made by customs authorities.
What Is Not Covered
The Global OPT Warranty does not cover faults or damage caused by:
- Unauthorized opening, repair, modification, or internal adjustment;
- Incorrect voltage, frequency, power supply, transformer, or electrical connection;
- Improper use, neglect, impact, dropping, or accidental damage;
- Exposure to water, moisture, excessive heat, or unsuitable storage conditions;
- Failure to follow the operating, packaging, or return instructions provided by Global OPT.
Cosmetic condition is shown and described before purchase. Cosmetic imperfections, signs of age, or appearance-related concerns that were visible in the photographs or disclosed in the listing are not functional warranty claims.
Optional 6-Month and 12-Month Extended Warranty
For customers who want longer protection, optional 6-month and 12-month Global OPT extended warranty plans may be purchased at the time of buying the equipment.
Availability and price are calculated individually according to the type, condition, value, technical complexity, and selected warranty period of the unit.
Please contact Global OPT before completing checkout if you would like to request an extended warranty quote.
Service and Repair After the Warranty
Our relationship with the customer does not end when the warranty expires.
Global OPT provides post-warranty diagnostics, maintenance, and repair services for vintage audio equipment. You may request service even if the equipment was not originally purchased from Global OPT.

Why Global OPT Warranty Matters
Vintage audio equipment requires specialist knowledge, responsible testing, careful transportation, and access to ongoing technical support. Our goal is not simply to sell an older audio component. Our goal is to help every customer own, enjoy, maintain, and preserve vintage audio equipment with confidence.
