Important information: You must show an actual fault for every complaint. Therefore, keep the defective product, do not throw it away or use it. Do not throw away the box because it has codes that must be given to the manufacturer. If you do not have the box, the claim will not be accepted.

What is considered to be within a reasonable time will be determined on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the nature of the goods, but a complaint made within two (2) months of the discovery of the defect will always be considered to be within a reasonable time. If you wish to make a claim, please contact our support as soon as possible.

It is of course a requirement that the complaint is justified and that the defect has not arisen from misuse by you as a customer.
