Some products have a longer warranty period than stipulated by law. In these cases, after the deadline stipulated by law, the warranty process must be handled directly between the Customer and the Manufacturer.

If it is proven that the anomaly is not the result of a lack of conformity of the product, the Customer will be contacted, as the warranty cannot be claimed.
