The warranty period is not extended nor does a new warranty period begin following repair or replacement under the warranty.

Warranty Conditions
For the warranty to be valid, the following steps must be taken:
Please contact our customer service by email or phone. If the product under warranty has to be sent in for repair, the seller bears costs. After expiry of the warranty, the buyer  bears the costs of transport and insurance. If the fault is covered by our warranty, you will receive a new or repaired equipment in return.

So that we can clearly identify the model of your equipment, and for the purposes of our quality control, you will need to give the serial number of your equipment, when contacting the service team. Where possible please have your serial number and your customer number ready when you call our service hotline. It will help us to deal with your request swiftly.
