If there has been a defect in a product you have purchased, we will endeavour in the first instance to repair or rectify the defect within a reasonable period of time in accordance with the instructions of the CCI. For example, a broken button on a pair of trousers can be repaired by a shoemaker.
Some manufacturers, importers or suppliers prefer to repair the products themselves. In these cases, the defective products covered by the guarantee are sent for repair. In the case of a guarantee, the consumer will of course not incur any costs for the repair or will be reimbursed as agreed.
Occasionally, repair times may be delayed for reasons beyond our control, for example in cases where a faulty or broken product is sent abroad for evaluation or repair.
If it is not possible to repair the purchased product or if it would involve unreasonable costs, the product may be replaced. If the warranty period is valid, the replacement does not extend the warranty period, but the original warranty remains valid. In the case of replacement, the replacement product must be of the same price and quality as the defective product and should meet the criteria under which it was originally purchased.
Replacement will not be made in cases where the cost of replacement is unreasonable, for example where the goods are made to measure or where production of the product has ceased.
