   • If faults in the device can be attributed to transport damage beyond our control, or to improper installation and assembly.
   • Incorrect use, sub-standard maintenance and failure to comply with instructions concerning operation and assembly.
   • Non-household use, like in hair salons, hospitality settings, etc.
   • Claims against the warranty will become void if repairs or procedures on the device are carried out by persons other than our service team, and if the device is fitted with components or accessories that are classed as non-original components and can thus cause defects.
4. Under the warranty, faulty components will, as the service team sees fit, be repaired free of charge or replaced by appropriate components. It will be up to the service team to determine whether a repair must be carried out by a technician or whether the fault must be resolved by sending the concerned component to the consumer. Devices that can be transported normally (e.g. in a car) must be returned to the point of purchase for further service. Devices that cannot be transported normally will be repaired on-site. Repairs under the warranty always require a valid purchase receipt to be presented. Replaced components will become our property.
5. If a complaint is unfounded, all accompanying costs must be paid by the consumer.
6. If you believe that a planned service visit does not need to take place, this must be reported by the previous working day otherwise costs will be charged.
7. The faulty device must be clean, empty and easily accessible during service visits. If this is not the case, the technician can refuse to perform repairs and the cost of the visit will be charged.
8. Repair or replacement during the warranty period will not result in the warranty period being extended.
9. Damage that has been caused by a faulty device must be personally reported by the consumer to his or her insurance.
10. Additional or alternative claims, particularly to compensate for damage caused outside the device, are excluded unless such liability has been prescribed by law.
11. In addition, in accordance with legal provisions, we bear unrestricted liability for damage that falls under the Product liability Act and all damage that can be attributed to deliberate contractual breaches, gross negligence or deliberate intent on our part, or on the part of our legal representatives or persons appointed by us.
12. The warranty conditions of Everglades are subject to Dutch law.
