Guarantees
Except for those which, by their nature, are excluded from the consumer goods warranty regulations, and provided that the purchaser makes a particular use of them, all our products are guaranteed at national level, against manufacturing defects during two years from the date of purchase (or date of delivery, if later), or one year if the item is not new.
We shall be liable for any lack of conformity, which the purchaser must inform us of within two months of becoming aware of it.
If the defect or lack of conformity arises within the first 6 months of delivery of the item, whether it is a new or second-hand product, it is presumed that the defect or lack of conformity already existed when the product was invoiced (or delivered, if at a later time), i.e. that there is an original or factory defect in the product, unless we can prove that the defect or lack of conformity is not original but is due, for example, to misuse or maintenance by the purchaser.
On the other hand, if the defect or lack of conformity arises after the first 6 months and up to 2 years, the presumption that the defect is ex-factory does not exist.
In the event of a defective product, we may proceed, as appropriate, to repair, replace, reduce the price or terminate the contract, which will be completely free of charge for the purchaser (including transport costs, if any).
Defects and deterioration caused by external events, accidents, use not in accordance with our instructions or those of the manufacturer (incorrect use) or normal wear and tear are therefore excluded from the guarantee. Also, products that have been modified or repaired by the customer or any other person not authorised by Advanced Seeds, as well as products that are the subject of a specific contract.
