Information on the warranty of Faber Products
Due to the type of its products, FABER SpA, despite not qualifying as a seller pursuant to Articles 44 et seq., as well as 128 et seq. of the Consumer Code, has organized a network of external Technical Assistance Centres, located throughout the territory national, which offer assistance with home visits to end buyers and which, based on specific agreements with retailers of FABER brand products, carry out the replacement/repair of products also within the scope of the Legal Guarantee of conformity. Consumers will be able to contact the FABER authorized Technical Assistance Centers directly also for lack of conformity as an alternative to the sellers, who, however, are the only subjects bound by the Legal Guarantee of conformity towards consumers pursuant to Art. . 130 of the Consumer Code.
The guarantee attached to FABER products is a Conventional Guarantee of the Manufacturer towards the Consumer pursuant to Article 133 of the Consumer Code, which does not replace, but is in addition to, the Legal Guarantee of conformity of the products for which the sellers are responsible.
Warranty Conditions on Faber Products
The following conditions, relating to the Manufacturer's Conventional Warranty, are automatically activated starting from the date of purchase of the product.

The replacement of the product may only take place in the event that this remedy is not objectively impossible or excessively onerous compared to the repair. For the purposes of the operation of this Conventional Guarantee, the replacement of the product must be considered excessively onerous if it imposes unreasonable expenses compared to the repair, taking into account the value that the good would have if there was no lack of conformity, the extent of the lack of conformity and the the possibility that the alternative remedy can be used without significant inconvenience for the Consumer.

- In any case, in relation to defects appearing in the first 6 (six) months from the date of purchase of the product, no cost will be charged for the verification, even if the non-existence of a lack of conformity at the time of delivery is ascertained.
- If the intervention is carried out at a Faber Technical Assistance Center and the defective product was brought there by the Customer, the risks relating to transport will be borne by the Customer, while they are borne by the Faber Technical Assistance Center if the transport is carried out at the center is managed by the Assistance Center itself.
