Warranty conditions

EN
The following conditions comprise the requirements and scope of our warranty conditions and do not affect our legal and contractual warranty obligations.
We offer a warranty on our products in accordance with the following conditions: 1. We will remedy free of charge any product damage or defect that is proven to be based on a manufacturing fault, provided the end user reports this immediately upon noticing it and within a period of 24 months following the date of purchase. The warranty does not cover batteries and other parts, which are considered consumables, parts that break easily such as glass or plastic or defects based on normal wear and tear. There is no warranty obligation in the event of marginal differences compared to the target appearance and workmanship provided these have a negligible effect on the product's fitness for use, in the event of damage caused by chemical or electrochemical effects, by water or generally from abnormal conditions. 2. The warranty will be performed in such a way that we shall decide whether to repair the defective parts or to replace them with working parts free of charge. AXDIA reserves the right to exchange the product for a replacement product of equal value if the product that is sent in cannot be repaired within a reasonable time or at reasonable cost. The product can also be exchanged for a different model of the same value. Requests cannot be made for repairs to be carried out on site. Parts that have been replaced or exchanged become our property. 3. The warranty claim does not apply if repairs or other work is carried out by unauthorized persons or if our products are equipped with additional parts or accessories that are not approved for our products. 4. Warranties that have been activated do not cause the warranty period to be extended, nor do they trigger a new warranty period. The warranty period for any replacement parts installed ends with the warranty period for the entire product. 5. Any other or further claims are excluded, especially those for replacement due to damage caused outside of the product, provided there is no obligatory legal liability. We therefore accept no liability for accidental, indirect or other consequential damage of any kind, which leads to usage restrictions, data loss, loss of earnings or interruption to business.
