Who provides the support?
Identify the retailer, manufacturer and local service contact. A product sold internationally may have different support arrangements between countries. Keep the written terms and purchase record where you can find them.
What is actually covered?
Check the stated periods for the frame, moving parts, electronics and labour. Wear items may have different coverage or exclusions. Find out whether shipping, collection or a technician visit is included rather than assuming repair means a free door-to-door service.
Does your intended use qualify?
Some equipment is intended for domestic use, while other models allow commercial settings. Ask whether use in a shared building gym is covered. Assembly requirements, maintenance and the environment may also affect the written warranty terms.
How will a claim work?
Ask what evidence is required, whether parts are available locally and how servicing is arranged. Return policies and warranties are different promises. Consumer rights also vary by jurisdiction; check an official local consumer source for your situation rather than relying on this general checklist.
