- The above legal warranty is valid for a maximum period of 2 (two) years from the date of Delivery of the Product. Beyond this term, Intelsis Srl, therefore, will not be responsible for conformity defects found by the consumer.

- In any case, the warranty does not cover any use of the product that is not in accordance with the product's own use and the instructions and/or warnings provided by the Seller and/or the Manufacturer of the Product.

- In the event of replacement or repair of the Product, the terms of the warranty relating to the Product replaced or resulting from the repair shall be the same as those of the original product. Therefore, the overall two-year duration of the legal guarantee shall in any case start from the Delivery of the original product.
- The rights arising from the legal guarantee of conformity may be exercised on condition that the Products have been used correctly, with due diligence and in compliance with their intended use and with the provisions of the enclosed indications, as well as upon presentation by the Customer of the delivery note received.
