Warranty
Instead of the usual 2-year guarantee, we guarantee this device for 5 years
from the date of delivery from our factory (this excludes consumables such as
bulbs, tips and batteries).
We guarantee the proper function of the unit provided it is used as intended
by the manufacturer and according to the instructions for use. Any faults or
defects which occur during the guarantee period will be repaired free of
charge provided they are caused by faults in material, design or workmanship.
In the case of a complaint of a defect in the product during the guarantee
period, the buyer must prove that any such defect was present at the time the
product was delivered. The usual legal guarantee and warranty do not apply to
incorrect use, the use of non-original HEINE
parts or accessories.
(Especially bulbs, as these are designed with emphasis on the following
criteria:
Color temperature, life expectancy, safety, optical quality and performance.)
Also excluded are repairs or modifications made by persons not authorized by
HEINE or cases where the customer does not follow the instructions supplied
with the product. Any modification of a HEINE product with parts or additional
parts which do not conform to the original HEINE specification will invalidate
the warranty for the correct function of the product and further invalidate
any warranty claims which result from such a change or modification. Further
claims, in particular claims for damage not directly related to the HEINE
product, are excluded.
For repairs, please contact your supplier, who will return the goods to us or
our authorized agent.
