This manual is for a Marks & Spencer branded film scanner:
http://www.unisupport.net/download/30000/manual_uk.pdfThe guarantee at the end of the document states:
Quote:Your Marks & Spencer Product is covered by a guarantee for 2 years from the date of purchase. Please retain your till receipt as this will validate your date of purchase. If a fault develops during this period, call our customer service centre on 0845 671 0665, who will advise you on the best course of action.

If it’s within 35 days of purchase we will offer an exchange for a new product or a full refund. After 35 days and for the remainder of the guarantee period, we will arrange for the product to be repaired.
