Equipment warranty and warranty conditions

The warranty period begins on the day the item is handed over to a representative of the Customer.  If the Customer finds during the arrival inspection that there is a defect in the goods, the warranty period does not start until the day Metos has corrected the defect.

Metos gives the goods it sells a warranty against raw material and manufacturing defects. The warranty period is one (1) year. The warranty applies to products sold in Finland to their first buyer. If requested, the person requesting a warranty repair must prove the validity of the warranty. 

Warranty repair requests must be submitted without delay and during the warranty period to Metos Service, preferably by calling +358 20 300 300. Difficult-to-move equipment or equipment installed as a fixed part of the kithcen will be repaired at the Customer's premises if possible. The Customer must deliver easily movable products to a maintenance service provider (locations can be found at this link) for repair at their own expense and responsibility. Repaired equipment can be picked up by the Customer or delivered at the Customer's expense, using a transport method chosen by the Customer.
Warranty repairs are carried out as quickly as possible during normal working hours (Mon–Fri 8:00–16:00). If the work is performed outside of normal working hours at the Customer's request, the costs resulting from the work, including overtime compensation, will be charged.

The warranty covers repairing raw material or manufacturing defects and resulting damage that has been reported during the warranty period. The mentioned defects are corrected by repairing the product to working condition. Any defective parts replaced with new ones are the property of Metos. The warranty does not include defects caused by:
– transporting or moving the device
– the user's carelessness or negligence
– neglecting the instructions for use, maintenance or care
– circumstances beyond the control of the giver of the warranty
– repairs or maintenance performed by non-authorized technicians
– incorrect installation or incorrect positioning of the product at the place of use in relation to the user instructions or settings of the product
– using the product for other than its intended use
– the normal wear and tear of the product

The warranty also does not include the repair of defects that are irrelevant in terms of the product's functional condition or appearance. Parts that break due to natural wear and tear are not covered by the warranty. Maintenance measures explained in the operating and maintenance instructions, adjustments intended to be performed by the user and instructing the user in the use of the product are not covered by the warranty. Indirect damages are not covered by the warranty.

Liability for defective products
If there is a defect in a product or service, the Customer must inform Metos about it and give Metos the opportunity to verify the error and correct it. On a case-by-case basis, the product may either be exchanged for a new one or repaired, or a price reduction may be granted. Metos' liability for defects is limited to the purchase price paid by the Customer to Metos for the product. Metos is not responsible for direct or indirect expenses or loss of income caused by the defect or the use of products or services.

 

Returns 

Returning the goods is accepted if the shipment does not match the order or the goods are defective, and the seller has been informed within 8 days of the Customer receiving the goods. Returns must always be agreed in advance with our OnLine salesperson. A maximum of 80% will be refunded for the return of standard products if the return is not due to the seller's error. The Customer has no right to return custom order and special products.

When the Customer returns a product they ordered, the return must be agreed with an OnLine salesperson, who can be reached by calling 020 300 900 (Mon–Fri 8:00–16:00).
