Art. 19. Seller’s Warranties.

19.1 Warranty for defects

19.1.1 The Seller warrants the Products against factory defects for the period of 12 months from the date of delivery. This warranty consists of the Seller’s obligation to restore the efficiency, by replacement or repair free of charge, of parts that are unusable or inefficient due to factory defect. Warranty repairs shall be free of charge, shall be performed in the manner set forth in the Warranty and Service Booklet with which the Product is equipped, and shall include (1) repair or replacement of the defective part, (2) labor for the replacement or repair services, and (3) supply of consumables necessary to perform the warranty repairs.

19.1.2 The warranty does not cover defects or malfunctions caused or aggravated by:

  • modification or disassembly of the Product performed outside the Manufacturer’s official service network;
  • normal wear and tear or failure to perform the minimum maintenance prescribed by the Manufacturer in the Use and Maintenance and/or Warranty and Service Booklet, with which the Product is equipped;
  • modification of the Product without prior authorization from the Manufacturer;
  • carelessness, improper use, repair and/or maintenance of the Product carried out with non-original spare parts (i.e., with spare parts not sourced from the Manufacturer) or of a quality not equivalent to original spare parts, repairs and/or maintenance carried out not in a workmanlike manner, late reporting of the defect with respect to the terms provided by law.

19.1.3 The warranty is void if the anomaly is not reported within two months from the date the Consumer Customer discovered such anomaly.

19.2 Legal guarantee of conformity

19.2.1 In addition to the warranty provided for defects in the thing sold in accordance with the provisions in force, up to two (2) years from delivery of the Products, the Seller shall be liable to Consumer Customers, pursuant to Articles 129 et seq. of the Consumer Code, for any defects in conformity of the Products existing at the time of delivery.

19.2.2 A lack of conformity shall be deemed to exist if the Product:

  • Is not suitable for the use to which goods of the same type are ordinarily put;
  • does not conform to the description made by the Seller or does not possess the qualities referred to in the sample or model, if any, presented to the Consumer Customer;
  • does not exhibit the usual qualities and performance of goods of the same type, which the Consumer Customer may legitimately expect, taking into account the nature of the goods and, where applicable, public statements on the specific characteristics of the goods made in this regard by the Seller, the manufacturer or its agent or representative, particularly in advertising or on labeling;
  • is not suitable for the particular use intended by the Consumer Customer that has been brought to the knowledge of the Seller at the time of the conclusion of the contract and that the Seller has accepted even by conclusive facts.

19.2.3 The Consumer Customer forfeits the right to make use of the conformity warranty if he does not report the relevant defect to the Seller within the period of two (2) months from the date on which he discovered it.

19.2.4 Excluded from the scope of this legal warranty are failures or malfunctions or defects caused by accidental facts or by the User’s responsibility or by use of the Product not in accordance with its intended use or with what is provided in the technical documentation attached to the Product.

19.2.5 In the event of an ascertained lack of conformity, if promptly reported, the Consumer-Customer has the right to the restoration, without expense, of the conformity of the Product by repair or replacement, unless the remedy requested is objectively impossible or excessively onerous compared to the other. The remedy is deemed “excessively burdensome” when it requires the Seller to incur unreasonable expenses compared to the alternatives, taking into account the value that the Product would have if there were no ascertained conformity defect, the extent of such defect, the possibility that the alternative remedy could be performed without significant inconvenience to the Consumer Customer.

Specifically, the Seller will make every diligent effort to replace at its own care and expense, with other equivalent products available at its warehouses, those Products delivered that are damaged or defective, provided that the same have been returned by the Consumer Customer in the original packaging (complete with all parts that make it up). If replacement with the same Product is not possible, the Seller will refund to the Consumer Customer the amount paid for the Product found to be defective, expressly excluding any further liability for any reason whatsoever.

19.2.6 The Consumer Customer may request, at his or her option, an appropriate price reduction or termination of the contract where any of the following situations occur:

  1. (a) repair and replacement are impossible or excessively expensive;
  2. (b) the Seller has failed to repair or replace the goods within a reasonable period of time;
  3. (c) the replacement or repair previously carried out has caused him significant inconvenience.

19.2.7 A minor lack of conformity for which the remedies of repair or replacement could not or would be unduly burdensome, does not entitle the Contract to termination.

19.2.8 Cases of warranty exclusions and limitations are made explicit in Article 20 (“Warranty Exclusions and Limitations”) below.

19.3 Additional conventional warranty for the Consumer Customer
