Warranty conditions

EWM GmbH warrantys that its products will not contain any faults in terms of material or production. Should the product prove to be defective in this respect within the warranty period, you have the right to free repair or for your product to be replaced with an appropriate alternative, subject to our discretion. This warranty takes effect from the date of invoice. EWM reserves the right to alter the warranty conditions at any time with effect for the future.

Basis of the warranty
The prerequisite for receiving the full warranty is simply to operate the products in accordance with EWM operating instructions, observing the relevant legal recommendations and guidelines and carrying out annual maintenance work and testing conducted by an EWM partner (see separate "Maintenance and testing" documentation).
Any warranty repairs may only be carried out by an authorised EWM partner – otherwise the warranty will be invalidated.
The costs of packaging and transport to the place where the warranty is to be fulfilled have to be taken over by the customer and are not covered by the warranty.

To make a guarantee claim, the original invoice must be submitted, on which the serial number of the machine can be found.
If we request it, the product must be immediately sent to us at the risk and expense of the purchaser. Replaced products become our property. The warranty period is not extended as a result of replacement or repair. The customer has no claim to loan or replacement products whilst repairs are being performed or replacements are being provided.
