For some products, express reference is made to a 12 month manufacturer's warranty. The warranty period begins on the date of delivery. If the operating or maintenance instructions are not followed, if changes are made, if parts are replaced or if consumables not in accordance with the original specifications are used, any warranty is void to the extent that the defect is the result of this. The same applies if the defect is caused by improper use, storage and handling of the devices, or by the intervention of third parties, as well as by opening the devices. Minor deviations from the promised characteristics of the goods do not give rise to warranty claims. Any liability for normal wear and tear (HSC, HB etc.), as well as for consumables (nozzles, thermal break tubes, heating blocks, PTFE protection, key tubes, HB handles, clamping spring) / accessories that have been set aside is excluded. The guarantee rights against Swiss3Dc.com are only for the direct buyer and cannot be transferred. Swiss3Dc.com has the right to repair. Any reduction or modification is excluded.

The products must be sent back in their original packaging, with a detailed description of the defects and a return number. Products supplied by us at the customer's request cannot be returned.
