GEME Product Warranty Information

• The GEME BIO-WASTE COMPOSTER warranty period starts from the date of purchase by the consumer. The warranty period is 12 months, when and only when the warranty is used free of charge as described herein during home use.
  
  The 1-year warranty period is suspended during repair or replacement. At the end of this period, the consumer is not entitled to a new 1-year warranty, but the warranty period that has begun is reinstated from the time of replacement or completion of the repair.
• For commercial equipment, the warranty period is governed by the terms of the sales contract.

ROKH SRL undertakes to repair or replace defective parts free of charge if the initial defect occurs during the warranty period or if the failure occurs during proper use.

The replaced parts remain the property of ROKH SRL. If the same defect occurs several times during the warranty period, or if the cost of repair is deemed disproportionate to the value of the equipment, a replacement of the equivalent equipment will be offered to the consumer after consultation with him. In such cases, ROKH SRL reserves the right to charge the consumer an amount based on the period of use.

Any defects must be reported immediately to avoid more serious damage.

For appliances that are difficult to transport and built-in devices, repairs will be carried out at the consumer's home. Appliances that are easily transportable will be delivered or sent to ROKH SRL's after-sales service, either directly or through a retailer.

The guarantee does not apply in the following cases.

• Minor discrepancies related to the expected quality, which do not affect the value or proper functioning of the equipment.
• Construction or execution modifications made prior to the execution of the order that do not affect the value and good functioning of the equipment.
• Defects due to improper assembly or installation.
