Nespresso grants a limited purchase warranty depending on the Products purchased. This warranty covers faults arising from manufacturing and material defects.
Regardless of Products purchased, no warranty applies for normal wear and tear; misuse; pest infestation; failure to use/maintain machine in accordance with instructions; improper operation/handling of the machine; damage arising from soiling or undue scaling of the machine, usage of non-Nespresso capsules, accidents, tampering/modification of the machine, negligence, overloading.

4.4 After-Sales Services
You are responsible for the standard maintenance and cleaning of the machine. Given the technical characteristics of the machines and for safety reasons, repairs must only be performed by the manufacturer’s after sales service personnel, in accordance with the conditions specific to each machine. The manufacturer and Nespresso shall be released from any liability resulting from a modification, repair, addition and/or replacement of spare parts on the machine by any person other than the sales service department.
Where food and beverage are prepared or served by the Customer, the Customer shall ensure that it is HACCP certified, and that such preparation and service is in compliance with the Customer’s food safety standards and all applicable food safety laws and regulations. Nespresso shall not be liable for any losses, claims, damages incurred by any party howsoever arising in connection with the Customer's purchase of the products, unless caused directly by Nespresso’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Save for any warranties expressly provided on the products, any warranties expressed or implied are expressly excluded.
Where the purchased machine is visible to the end consumer and the end consumer is exposed to Nespresso branded material and accessories, the Customer shall only use Nespresso coffee in the machine and with Nespresso branded material and accessories. Risk of loss and damage of the Nespresso products passes to the Customer on delivery. Nespresso retains title and remains the legal owner of the products until the purchase price is paid in full.
If you encounter any problems or have any questions concerning the functioning, maintenance or after-sales service of your machine, please contact our Customer Relationship Centre on 800 186 5007 (24/7 toll-free) for advice and assistance.
If your requirements are more complex, Nespresso will collect your machine at a pre-arranged time, organise the loan of a machine and bring back your machine when repaired at the chosen address.
In the event that your machine (that is sent for service or repair) is found by Nespresso to be affected by any issue(s) that renders the machine unsuitable for use (including hygiene issues like pest infestation), Nespresso strongly recommends that you do not continue to use such machine, and Nespresso will dispose of your machine in an appropriate manner. However, if despite Nespresso's above-mentioned recommendations, you decide to retrieve the machine from Nespresso, you agree to the following on behalf of your Company and any person affected by and/or using the machine:
(a) You understand that the continued possession use of the machine involves inherent risks and dangers, including that of personal and bodily injury, death, property damage and possible personal and economic losses, and you and your Company voluntarily and freely choose to assume these risks, and
(b) Your Company fully and forever release and discharge Nespresso and its affiliates and their respective employees, agents and contractors (collectively, the "Released Parties") from any and all injuries (including death), losses, damages, claims, demands, lawsuits, expenses, and any other liability of any kind, of or to you or your property, or that of any other person, directly or indirectly arising out of or in connection with the continued use and possession of the said machine.
