Warranties

Except for those which, by their nature, are excluded from the warranty regulations for consumer goods, and provided that the purchaser makes a particular use, all our products are guaranteed at national level, against manufacturing defects during three 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 shall inform us of within two months of becoming aware of it.

If the defect or lack of conformity arises within the first 2 years from the delivery of the item, it is presumed that the defect or lack of conformity already existed when the product was invoiced (or delivered, if at a later time), i.e. that there is a defect of origin or factory defect of the product, unless we can prove that the defect or lack of conformity is not of origin, but is due, for example, to a misuse or maintenance given by the buyer.

On the other hand, if the defect or lack of conformity arises after 2 years, the presumption that the defect comes from the factory does not exist.

In case of defective product, we may proceed, as appropriate, to repair, replacement, price reduction or termination of the contract. These actions will be completely free of charge for the purchaser (including transport costs, if any). in the event that the article eventually presents a problem after overhaul by the official service of the brand. 

REVISION OF COMPONENTS IN GOOD CONDITION:

If after the review by the official service of the brand, it is determined that the equipment has no damage, fault or problem, the customer shall bear the cost of shipping / return of the item plus the costs of review and laboratory tests carried out by the manufacturer.

The established rate for shipping/return costs plus laboratory tests to be borne by the customer is as follows in case the equipment is finally in good condition will be as follows:

Equipment cost < 1000€ (tax incl.) = There is a single transportation fee for pick-up (from the customer's home) and return (to the customer's home) of 18€ (tax incl.) per equipment to be overhauled, plus a manufacturer's fee per overhaul for each equipment delivered in good working order, 35 (tax incl.).

Equipment cost > 1000€. (tax incl.) = There is a single transportation fee for pick-up (from the customer's home) and return (to the customer's home) of 35€ (tax incl.) per equipment to be overhauled, plus a manufacturer's fee per overhaul for each equipment delivered in good working order, from 65€ (tax incl.).

Defects and deterioration caused by external events, accidents, use not in accordance with our instructions or those of the manufacturer (incorrect use) or normal wear and tear are therefore excluded from the warranty. Also, products modified or repaired by the customer or any other person not authorized by "FV Componentes", as well as products that are the subject of a specific contract. In these cases, the consumer will be responsible for their repair.

By regulation, and in the absence of proof to the contrary, the products shall be deemed to be in conformity with the contract provided that they meet all the requirements expressed below:

  1. a) They conform to the description given and possess the qualities of the product that we have presented to the consumer and user in the form of a sample or model.
  2. b) Are suitable for the uses to which similar products are ordinarily destined.
