Last updated: 24.12.2025 This page explains how we handle defective items and your applicable consumer rights.
1. Statutory warranty vs. manufacturer guarantee
New goods are covered by a 24-month statutory warranty (legal liability for defects) from the date you receive the item.
Statutory warranty is not the same as a guarantee: a guarantee is voluntary (often provided by the manufacturer) and does not limit your statutory rights.
In case of a defect, the usual first step is repair or replacement.
2. What is covered
manufacturing/material defects
malfunctions under normal intended use
items not matching the agreed description/quality
3. What is not covered
damage caused by misuse, drops/impact, liquids (if not intended), tampering, unauthorized repairs, modifications
normal wear and tear (e.g., scratches, coating wear, battery ageing)
hygiene/consumable items after opening/using (this does not affect your rights if the item is defective)
