Garantie DE

Obvious defects must be reported within 8 days after receipt of the goods, otherwise the purchaser loses all claims due to such defects. We guarantee our machines, if handled correctly, for the duration of the statutory warranty period from handover in such a way that we will replace free of charge any machine part that demonstrably becomes unusable within this period as a result of material or manufacturing defects. For parts that we do not manufacture ourselves, we only provide a warranty to the extent that we are entitled to warranty claims against the upstream suppliers. The purchaser shall bear the costs of fitting the new parts. Claims for conversion and reduction and other claims for damages are excluded.
