Frequently asked questions

Is the manufacturer’s warranty different from the statutory warranty?

Yes. The 90-day statutory warranty for durable goods exists regardless of any contract, and the manufacturer’s contractual warranty is complementary (arts. 24 to 26 and 50 of the CDC).

Do I lose the warranty if I have the service done at an independent workshop?

It depends on the conditions set out in the warranty terms and on the circumstances of the case. Before deciding, read the manual and, if possible, seek guidance to avoid risks.

Can the denial be verbal?

The consumer may demand the justification in writing. This makes it easier to analyze the case and serves as evidence in any complaint.
