Sellers of products are obliged to guarantee to consumers that products are in conformity with the relevant contract of sale for a period of two years after the delivery of the product.
Therefore if you are a consumer (according to the EU Directive 99/44), and your product has a defect which existed at the time of delivery and that defect becomes apparent within two years from the delivery of the product, you are entitled to ask:
-
For the product to be repaired or replaced free of charge within a reasonable period and without major inconvenience to you.
or
-
For an appropriate reduction made to the price or for the contract to be rescinded,
You may exercise the rights above against the seller from whom you purchased your product.
Unless proved otherwise, any lack of conformity which becomes apparent within 12 months from delivery of the product shall be presumed to have existed at the time of delivery unless this presumption is incompatible with the nature of the product or the nature of the lack of conformity.
