8.1 The warranty period begins with the delivery of the goods to the purchaser, unless the contract or letter of warranty provides for a later start of the warranty period. If Äike has an obligation to send the goods to the purchaser, the warranty period does not start before the goods are handed over to the purchaser. The warranty period is suspended at a time when the purchaser cannot use the goods due to reasons for which Äike is responsible.

8.2 In case of consumer sales, Äike is liable for the non-compliance of the goods with the terms of the contract if such non-compliance occurs within two years from the delivery of the goods to the purchaser. In case of consumer sales it is presumed that the non-compliance with the contract terms having occurred within six months from the date of giving the goods over to the purchaser existed at the time of delivery of the goods, if such presumption is not in contradiction with the nature of the goods or defect.

8.3 The warranty does not cover the maintenance, cleaning, restoration of the commercial appearance of the goods or the elimination of the defects caused by the use that does not comply with the instructions for use and maintenance. Under the warranty, a claim can only be submitted for the goods that have been used for their intended purpose and in accordance with the instructions for use of the goods. The consumer can only make a warranty claim upon presentation of the original sales document for the goods used for personal consumption.

8.4 The goods used by the purchaser for non-intended purposes or more intensively than set by the manufacturer (incl. the goods acquired in the course of economic or professional activities) are not covered by the warranty.

8.5 A claim cannot be submitted for a defect and deficiency (incl. breakages) that has appeared in the goods or their part which have occurred for the following reasons:

In case of a defect the purchaser has the right to demand the replacement or withdraw from the contract instead of repairing the goods and to demand the return of the goods and refund of the purchase price only if there is a large defect in which the repair would not give the desired result. Äike has the right to refuse to replace and return the goods if the replacement or return causes unreasonable costs or inconveniences to the seller compared to the repair of the goods.
