How long do I have a guarantee on a product?

When buying a product, it always has a legal guarantee. The legal guarantee means that you are always entitled to a good product.

If a product is defective, you are entitled to a free repair, a new product or a refund.

A manufacturer’s warranty is in addition to the legal warranty issued by the product supplier. The period varies depending on the product, but is generally 12-24 months.
