If the Customer is not in possession of the original packaging, he/she can request it from the Manufacturer or from the Seller, advancing all packaging and transport costs. If the Manufacturer ascertains the defect, it will repair the goods at its own expense, or replace them within a reasonable period of time and in any case within 45 days of receipt, returning the goods to the point of sale, reimbursing the Customer for the transport costs incurred for a limited overland distance (max. 1000 km) and any packaging costs incurred in advance.

If the Customer is not in possession of the original packaging, he/she can request it from the Manufacturer, anticipating all packaging and transport costs.
