VIII WARRANTY, NOTICE OF DEFECTS, AND LIABILITY FOR DEFECTS

  1. MARGO grants the Buyer the manufacturer’s warranty for the proper functioning of the purchased goods or devices.
  2. The manufacturer’s warranty on purchased goods and devices will generally be valid for a period of 12 months from the date of issue of the sales document to the Buyer. However, in cases where the manufacturer limits the warranty, warranty documents with different terms will be issued.
  3. The warranty applies to MARGO only with respect to the first Buyer.
  4. At the moment of receiving the goods, the Buyer is obliged to check the delivery in terms of quantity and quality. In the case of deliveries carried out via freight companies, the quantity, condition of the goods, and the packaging must be checked in the presence of the courier each time. If, as a result of the inspection, it turns out that goods are missing or their condition raises concerns, the courier must immediately prepare a damage report, which should be sent without delay to MARGO. This document then serves as the basis for initiating the complaint procedure.
  5. If no objections are raised at the time of receipt, it is assumed that the goods were delivered in accordance with the order, and complaints regarding quantity and damage during transport will not be considered.
  6. Complaints resulting from the detection of hidden quality defects must be reported to MARGO immediately, under penalty of nullity, in writing, but no later than 24 hours after their detection.
  7. After the above deadline, the Buyer is only entitled to a quality warranty, exclusively under the terms and conditions specified in the manufacturer’s warranty document.
  8. The Buyer is obliged to deliver the defective goods at their own cost and risk to the repair location specified in the warranty document or indicated by MARGO, unless the manufacturer commits to removing the defect at the place of use by the Buyer. MARGO is not obliged to dismantle or reinstall the goods, nor will it bear any costs related to these activities.
  9. The Buyer loses warranty rights if the goods are used contrary to their intended purpose and technical parameters, as well as in cases of unauthorized repairs or modifications.
    If the complaint is recognized as justified, MARGO may, at its discretion, either replace the goods with new, defect-free items or agree on an appropriate price reduction. Resolving the complaint in this manner excludes the possibility of claiming further compensation.
  10. In case of an unjustified defect report, especially due to the absence of a defect, or if the defect was caused by reasons attributable to the Buyer or another entity, all costs incurred by MARGO related to such intervention will be charged to the Buyer.
  11. In connection with granting the warranty, the Parties exclude the Buyer’s rights under statutory liability for defects

MARGO may also claim additional compensation if the goods have been used, damaged, or if their value is lower than the price the Buyer should have paid for the received goods.
  7. Submitting a complaint does not entitle the Buyer to withhold payment for the goods/services or any part thereof.
