Hello Everyone!

I have question about following sentence if it does make perfect sense.

Even after the expiration of guarantee period, it is impossible to apply for charged repair.

This sentence came from some product's warranty I am not sure whether I can get repair service after expiration of guarantee period with money or without money.

Thank you in advance for your helpful answer.
 
    • I am able to find a few instances of "apply for charged repair" on Google Web. However, none of them are preceded by 'impossible', but instead by 'possible': Even after the expiration of guarantee period, it is possible to apply for charged repair. (This is how all the instances are worded.)

    The guarantee is probably a translation. They used charged repair, but what they most likely meant was a repair for which you will be charged.
     
    I agree that there should be a mistake (maybe more than one), since I read the original sentence:

    as:
    "during the period of validity of the guarantee, you cannot ask us to repair this item if you pay; you have to have it repaired for free. But when the guarantee has expired, you still cannot ask us to repair it even if you pay; and, since we don't do it for free anymore, you have to throw it away".
     
    Hello Beautifully

    My reaction was the same as EStjarn's and st r's: I'm sure that "impossible" in your sentence is a mistake, and that the writer meant to say "it is possible to apply for ...."

    "Charged repair" sounds slightly odd to me, but it's intelligible, as Liliana says, as "a repair for which you will be charged".
