- improper installation (unless the installation was carried out by the Service Provider or its agent, or the improper installation is due to a fault in the instruction manual)
- misuse, failure to observe the instructions for use, - incorrect storage, incorrect handling, damage.
In the event of a defect covered by the warranty, the Customer:
- in the first place, at its option, repair or replacement, unless the chosen warranty claim is impossible to fulfil or would result in disproportionate additional costs for the Service Provider compared to the fulfilment of the other warranty claim, taking into account the value of the product in its original condition, the seriousness of the breach of contract and the damage to the Customer's interests caused by the fulfilment of the warranty claim.
- if the Service Provider has not undertaken to repair or replace the defective product, cannot fulfil this obligation within a reasonable period of time, without prejudice to the interests of the Consumer, or if the Customer's interest in repair or replacement has ceased, the Customer may, at his/her option, request a proportionate reduction of the purchase price, repair the defect himself/herself or have it repaired by another party at the expense of the Service Provider, or withdraw from the contract.
