In the case of lithium batteries, it is mandatory that the system is fitted with a Victron BMS in order for the warranty to be honoured.
For the rest, except those which, by their nature, are excluded from the consumer goods warranty regulations, and provided that the purchaser makes a particular use, all our products are guaranteed at a national level, against manufacturing defects during 3 years from the date of purchase (or date of delivery, if later), or one year if the item is not new.
We shall be liable for any lack of conformity, which the purchaser must inform us of within two months of becoming aware of it.

On the other hand, if the defect or lack of conformity arises after 2 years, the presumption that the defect is ex-factory does not exist.
In the event of a defective product, we may proceed, as appropriate, to repair, replace, reduce the price or terminate the contract.

VAT). Adding up to a total of 35€ per item. On these items, customers will be charged a deposit for handling / processing costs of €35 which will be refunded once it is concluded that the equipment has a problem covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
Equipment cost 300€ > 1000€ (vat included) = There is a single transport charge for pick-up (from the customer's home) and return (to the customer's home) of 18€ (incl. VAT) per item of equipment to be serviced, plus a manufacturer's fee for servicing each item of equipment shipped in good working order or with a problem not covered by the manufacturer's warranty, of 35€ (incl. VAT). Adding up to a total of 53€ per item.

VAT). Adding up to a total of €100 per item.
