1: SUBJECT

1.1          We guarantee, under the conditions specified here in detail, for a period of five-years starting from the delivery date shown on the invoice, that the products designated with the “Exenia” brand, purchased by authorised distributors are exempt from manufacturing or design defects if used in accordance with the intended use.

1.2          Products with delivery dates prior to January 1, 2019 are excluded from this manufacturer’s warranty.

1.3          If the purchase date of the end user from our distributor is not the same as the date of sale shown on the Exenia document, an additional 3 months warranty can be granted to protect the end customer only and exclusively in the presence of documentation proving this delay in the delivery. Only in this case the total guarantee will be valid for 63 months.

1.4      This warranty does not refer to all products bearing brands other than Exenia, although equally marketed by it, to products relating to power supply and control lighting systems and to products with mains voltage LED technology (LED board supplied at 230V, in the event that overvoltage protection devices are not installed on the dedicated power supply line).

The warranty will only apply provided that:

2-1          The products are used in accordance with the specifications of use and product indicated (intended as compliance with technical labels, user manuals and installation and product technical data sheets).

2.2          The products have been installed and put into operation perfectly (according to the assembly instructions enclosed with the product) by qualified technical personnel.

2.3          Maintenance and repair operations on the products are performed (if necessary) exclusively according to the manufacturer’s instructions and only by qualified personnel.

2.4          Services such as (but not limited to) software updates or feature extensions are carried out exclusively by the manufacturer or a third party designated by the manufacturer.

3: LIMITATIONS

3.1          The warranty only covers product defects proven to be caused by material defects, construction defects or manufacturing defects as well as failures that exceed the average nominal failure rate. For electronic components such as power supplies or LED modules, the average nominal failure rate is equal to 0.2% / 1000 hours of operation, unless the average useful life and the average nominal failure rate are not otherwise defined in the product specification (in particular in the technical data sheet, product brochure and similar materials). Multi chip LED products are not eligible for warranty replacement if less than 5% of individual LEDs are failing to perform according to the standards.

3.2          The right to the manufacturer’s warranty lapses if the customer does not report the defect in writing within 30 days (related to the date of receipt) as soon as the defect is notified to Exenia or to the Exenia distribution company of the country where the product was purchased and put into operation the first time, attaching a copy of the purchase contract in question or the invoice and a proof of the defect found.

3.3          If the examination of the product proves that the case is covered by the warranty, the warranter has the right to proceed, at its own discretion, to repair the faulty product (with new or regenerated materials but fully complying with the product spec sheet), to replace the faulty product with a product of equal value, to the reimbursement of the purchase cost (excluding VAT and transport), or to send replacement components for the lighting fixture, such as (but not limited to), power devices.

3.5          In the event of additional supplies of LED light sources there may be deviations from the original products, regarding the characteristics of the light due to technical progress as well as the alteration of the luminous flux of the products due to use. Replacing a product that is no longer in the catalogue with an equivalent product or with a product with superior technical features does not involve replacing the existing lighting installation on site.
