Warranty
Valid in the Federal Republic of Germany.
We provide a warranty for the appliance subject to the following conditions:
1. The Customer's main place of residence is in Germany and the appliance was
bought from a dealer located in Germany.
2. We undertake to repair the appliance free of charge, including free shipping, if
it becomes defective due to a material or assembly error within 24 months (wit-
hin 12 months if used commercially or used for self-employed professional pur-
poses) and if notification of the defect is given within the warranty period.
A pre-condition of our warranty is that the appliance always treated properly.
The warranty terms start on the date of purchase.
3. Parts subject to natural wear (e.g. drive belts, chargeable batteries, brushes,
filters) do not fall under the terms of the warranty.
4. The warranty will lapse if the appliance is modified or repaired by persons we
have not authorised. Also, no third party spare parts or accessories may be
used.
5. The main focus of the warranty is on performing repairs or exchanging defecti-
ve parts. Repairs on site can only be demanded for large stationary appliances.
When making a warranty claim, the invoice or purchase receipt from the dealer
stating the date of purchase must be presented.
6. If the repair fails and the damage or defect cannot be rectified even after a se-
cond attempt, the appliance will be replaced with one of the same value. If neit-
her repair nor replacement is possible, the customer is entitled to return the ap-
pliance and demand reimbursement of the purchase price. In the event that the
appliance is exchanged or the purchase price reimbursed, a usage fee may be
raised for the period that the appliance was in use.
7. Warranty work does not extend the warranty period or mark the start of a new
warranty period. The warranty term for installed spare parts ends at the same
time as the warranty period for the whole appliance.
8. The contractual and/or statutory regulations relating to the correction of faults is
not affected by the provisions of the warranty.
