Art. 9 – Legal Warranty
Without prejudice to the additional terms provided by Legislative Decree n. 206/2005 and its subsequent amendments, the Products sold through the Website are covered by the legal warranty of conformity offered by Officine Gullo S.r.l. in accordance with the applicable law, specifically for 24 (twenty-four) months following the delivery of the Products.
Any lack of conformity must be reported by the User, under penalty of forfeiture of the warranty, within 2 (two) months from the date it was discovered.
The aforementioned warranty does not cover malfunctions caused by accidental events and/or misuse of the Products as indicated in the Product’s technical documentation. To benefit from the legal warranty, the User must provide proof of purchase and delivery of the Product.
In the case of a properly reported lack of conformity, the User has the right to request the repair or replacement of the Product free of charge, unless the requested remedy is objectively impossible or excessively burdensome compared to the alternative. The request may be sent to MM Operations through the website shop.officinegullo.com.
A remedy is considered “excessively burdensome” if it imposes unreasonable costs on MM Operations compared to alternative remedies, taking into account (a) the value the Product would have if there were no lack of conformity; (b) the significance of the lack of conformity; (c) the possibility that the alternative remedy could be completed without significant inconvenience to the User.
