Extended Warranty

The following information is for Customers habitually residing in the Netherlands only: The statutory warranty period equals the period during which it may reasonably be expected that the product remains in conformity with the contract and the statutory conformity requirements. For products to which a statutory warranty period applies of less than 5 years from the date of purchase, SEA TO SUMMIT offers the extended warranty set out below.

The following information is for Customers habitually residing in France only: The consumer has a period of two years from the date of delivery of the goods in which to obtain performance of the legal guarantee of conformity in the event of a lack of conformity. During this period, the consumer only has to prove the existence of the lack of conformity and not the date on which it occurred.

If the contract for the sale of goods provides for the supply of digital content or a digital service on a continuous basis for a period of more than two years, the legal guarantee shall apply to this digital content or digital service throughout the period of supply provided for. During this period, the consumer shall be required to prove only the existence of the lack of conformity affecting the digital content or digital service and not the date of its appearance.

The legal guarantee of conformity requires the trader to provide, where appropriate, any updates necessary to maintain the conformity of the goods.

The legal guarantee of conformity gives the consumer the right to have the goods repaired or replaced free of charge and without major inconvenience within thirty days of the consumer's request.

If the goods are repaired under the legal guarantee of conformity, the consumer benefits from a six-month extension of the original guarantee.

If the consumer asks for the goods to be repaired but the trader requires them to be replaced, the legal guarantee of conformity is extended for a period of two years from the date on which the goods are replaced.

The consumer may obtain a reduction in the purchase price by keeping the goods or rescind the contract by obtaining a full refund in exchange for the return of the goods if

1. The trader refuses to repair or replace the goods;
2. the goods are repaired or replaced after a period of thirty days;
3. the repair or replacement of the goods would cause significant inconvenience to the consumer, in particular where the consumer has to bear the cost of taking back or removing the non-conforming goods or the cost of installing the repaired or replacement goods;
4. the non-conformity of the goods persists despite the seller's unsuccessful attempt to bring the goods into conformity.

The consumer shall also be entitled to a reduction in the price of the goods or to rescind the contract if the lack of conformity is so serious that it justifies an immediate reduction in the price or rescission of the contract. In such cases, the consumer is not obliged to request repair or replacement of the goods first.

The consumer shall not be entitled to rescind the contract if the lack of conformity is minor.

Any period of immobilization of the goods pending their repair or replacement shall suspend the guarantee which remained in force until the delivery of the repaired goods.

The aforementioned rights result from the application of articles L. 217-1 to L. 217-32 of the Consumer Code.

Any seller who obstructs the application of the legal guarantee of conformity in bad faith is liable to a civil fine of up to €300,000, which may be increased to 10% of the average annual turnover (Article L. 241-5 of the Consumer Code).

Consumers also benefit from the legal guarantee against hidden defects under Articles 1641 to 1649 of the French Civil Code, for a period of two years from the discovery of the defect. This guarantee entitles the consumer to a price reduction if the goods are kept or to a full refund if the goods are returned.

The following is for Customers habitually residing in the Czech Republic only:

The consumer has the right to notify the defect which appeared during two years since delivery of the product and is entitled to its statutory rights stemming from defective performance of SEA TO SUMMIT, i.e. to have the product repaired or replaced free of charge and without major inconvenience within thirty days of the consumer's request. The consumer may request a discount in the purchase price (and keep the product) or withdraw from the contract by obtaining a full refund in exchange for the return of the products if:

a) SEA TO SUMMIT refuses to repair or replace the goods;
b) the defect occurs repeatedly;
c) the defect significantly breaches the contract; or
d) it is apparent from the SEA TO SUMMIT’s statement or from the circumstances that the defect will not be repaired within a reasonable time or without considerable difficulty for the consumer.
