5.4. A warranty applies to every product we supply to you. How long this warranty lasts depends entirely on the product. Most products come with a one-year warranty. If this is different, you can read this in the written confirmation that you receive from us with the product you have purchased, and on the invoice that you will receive by e-mail. We can only offer a limited warranty on consumables and consumables such as giveaway gifts. If you discover a defect or defect in one of our items, we request that you notify us within 48 hours of delivery.

5.5. If the product breaks within the warranty period, we will refund the full purchase price. However, this does not apply in the event of intent or deliberate damage.

In both situations, no refund can be made without a purchase receipt. After the warranty period has expired, the replacement value also lapses in the event of a possible payment of damage. Payment is then made on the basis of current value.
