The Warranty covers, pursuant to the following terms and conditions, only the Product and cannot in any way be extended to any other product branded (or not) Febal Casa.

In accordance with the terms and conditions illustrated below, Eurocasa guarantees the Products for defects in workmanship arising from the manufacturing process which appear within 5 years (60 months) from the day in which the Product is delivered to the Customer, provided however that the Customer has registered the Product on the Febal Casa website
www.febalcasa.com within 30 days of the installation of the Product to the Customer. (duration set forth in previous sub-paragraphs a. and b. severally defined herein after, as the case may be, as Warranty Period)
After the aforementioned Warranty Period has elapsed, this Warranty loses all effect and validity and any action of Febal Casa and Eurocasa (e.g. the replacement of the Product and/or the accessories, repair, service calls of installation team and transportation expenditures) will be charged according to the Febal Casa and Eurocasa price list in force at that time.
The Warranty Period is not in any case extended as the result of services carried out under the terms of this Warranty, nor does the Warranty Period start again from the beginning.
CONTENT OF THE WARRANTY AND WARRANTY PROCEDURE
Pursuant to this Warranty, Eurocasa shall perform replacement or repair of the Product – as the case may be and at Febal Casa’s discretion – and carry out any logistic services related to such replacement or repair activities.
In case of an event that could be potentially covered by the Warranty, the following procedure will apply:
- The Customer has to give a written notice to the Eurocasa about the defect potentially covered by this Warranty within 30 days of the moment in which the Customer becomes aware of such defect (Claim).
- The Customer shall specify in the Claim the following information: order number, number of the invoice, copy of transportation document or, in absence of transportation document, any other document demonstrating the date of delivery, explanation and pictures of the defect noticed by the Customer. The Claim cannot be received by Eurocasa and/or Febal Casa in the event any of the above requested information are not specified in the Claim.
- Eurocasa will analyze the Claim and, if needed, perform any other inspections (in loco or not) necessary for understanding if the Claim can be accepted pursuant to this Warranty or not. Eurocasa will then send to Febal Casa the results of such analysis.
- Febal Casa is entitled at any time and at its sole discretion to further analyse the Claim. Febal Casa and Eurocasa does its reasonable effort to give to the Customer a technical response within thirty (30) days of the receipt of the communication by Eurocasa. The choice of whether to replace or repair is made at the complete and unconditional discretion of Febal Casa.
- In the event Eurocasa confirms to the Customer that the Claim is covered by the Warranty (i.e. the Warranty will apply):
- if the Product can be repaired on site, Eurocasa will carry out (directly or through the Authorized Specialists – as they are defined herein below) such repair activities;
- if the Product and/or one of its components have to be replaced, Febal Casa shall produce and deliver the Product/spare part necessary for the replacement and Eurocasa will carry out (directly or through the Authorized Specialists) such replacement activities; or
- if the Product and/or one of its components have to be replaced, but the replacement activities cannot be carried out because the Product/spare parts necessary for the activity are not available for any reason whatsoever (e.g. the material for the intervention not be available due to the product purchased by the Customer being discontinued or to warehouse stock having run out), Febal Casa and Eurocasa will, at Febal Casa’s sole discretion, alternatively (i) replace the defective part/Product with a new alternative spare parts compatible for such replacing activities (e.g. material for other product chosen by Febal Casa will be used/supplied, and consequently materials others than those of the Product in the possession of the Customer, but similar in value to the defective materials) or (ii) grant a money compensation which shall not exceed in any case the amount of EUR 150, with the express exclusion of any other obligation to compensate any further damages suffered by the Customer.
At the completion of the replacement activity, the defective part and/or defective Product effectively replaced shall become property of Febal Casa. - In the event Febal Shop confirms to the Customer that the Claim is not covered by the Warranty or falls into the exclusions of the Warranty as provided in section “EXCLUSIONS” or if the conditions provided for in the section “CONDITIONS” are not met (i.e. the Warranty will not apply) any costs and expenses borne by Febal Shop and Febal Casa related to the Claim may be charged to the Customer.
Any reparation, maintenance or installation over the Product shall be carried out directly by Eurocasa and/or any service provider appointed by Eurocasa (Eurocasa and its appointed service provider, if any, are jointly defined as Authorised Specialists). If any activity of reparation, maintenance or installation is not carried out directly by the Authorised Specialists then this Warranty will immediately cease its own validity and effectiveness, it being understood that this Warranty will not cover damages due to (i) technical services provided by third parties different from the Authorised Specialists or (ii) other inefficiencies that could not be qualified as original manufacturing defects. For the sake of clarity, Febal Casa and Eurocasa are not responsible for any direct or indirect damage or injuries to Product which occurred due to the repair or replacement of the Product by anyone other than Authorised Specialists.
Febal Casa and Eurocasa are not responsible for any direct or indirect damage or injuries to human, animal or property that occurred during the usage of the Product, due to uncaring familiarisation with user manuals, brochures, catalogues or other materials which contained the information about the risks, related to the installation, maintenance and usage of the Product and or its components.
Should this Warranty apply, Febal Casa undertakes exclusively to make available to Eurocasa the spare parts or Products necessary for the replacement and/ or repair activities. Any other activities under this Warranty are undertaken by Eurocasa and can be granted exclusively in the event Eurocasa is active and continues, during the Warranty Period, to conduct its ordinary business as official dealer of Febal Casa. Should Eurocasa cease for any reason whatsoever its commercial and after sales activities as official dealer of Febal Casa, Febal Casa will do its reasonable efforts for finding another Eurocasa that could perform such activities, it being understood that Febal Casa shall not in any case be considered liable in the event a solution cannot be found and the repairing or replacing activities cannot be carried out for any reason whatsoever.
Should the Warranty apply, Febal Casa and Eurocasa shall bear the costs and expenses concerning the manufacture of the material necessary for the repairing and replacing activities.
The Customer remains responsible for all other expenses, such as any fixed call-out charge and labour costs, to be paid directly to Eurocasa who will carry out the intervention.
