Sigma Extends Its Gear Warranty to Cover Damage from Hurricane Sandy
Camera companies are doing their part to help victims of Hurricane Sandy get back on their feet. Here’s something that might be great news to some photographers on the East Coast: Sigma is extending its warranty to cover damage caused by the hurricane.
Extended warranty coverage for Hurricane Sandy damage: Sigma hereby extends the warranty coverage of Sigma products still under warranty for damages incurred as a result of Hurricane Sandy. If your equipment is under warranty, Sigma will provide either (a) complimentary service to get your equipment running, or (b) a trade-in option. Just ship your damaged equipment to Sigma, and we will ship the equipment back to you without charge. All terms of your Sigma warranty coverage still apply, so when sending in your Sigma product, please be sure to include a copy of the original sales receipt as proof of purchase date. If you do not have appropriate documentation as a result of the Hurricane, please contact us. Eligibility for this offer is subject to Sigma’s sole discretion. This offer is open through December 31, 2012 (we must receive your damaged equipment by that date).
Hopefully other camera companies follow Sigma’s lead — it would bring a smile to many a photographer’s face.
In related news, other photo companies are donating pretty substantial amounts of money toward the relief effort: Nikon has pledged $50K, Canon has given $100K, and Samsung has donated a whopping $3 million.
