6. WARRANTIES AND COMPLAINTS
6.1.1 Under Articles 1490 et seq. of the Italian Civil Code, Irinox guarantees that the Products are free from defects that render them unsuitable for their intended use or significantly reduce their value.
6.1.2 No warranty is due if at the time of the contract the Purchaser knew of the defects in the goods; likewise, no warranty is due if the defects were easily recognisable, unless, in this case, the Seller has declared that the goods were free of defects.For used goods, the Seller provides to the Purchaser a test report post-revision of the machine, including photographs highlighting any defects (e.g., scratches, dents). By accepting the offer, the Purchaser acknowledges and accepts the reported defects.
6.1.3 The warranty runs from the date of delivery, or the transfer to the Purchaser, or to a third party designated by the Purchaser, of the material availability or otherwise of control of the Products. This warranty period is 12 months for all Products and applies to all components of the Equipment except as stated in Article 6.1.4.
6.1.4 The warranty does not cover defects resulting from normal wear and tear. Excluded from the warranty are the replacement and/or restoration of parts, components and materials subject to degradation, progressive consumption or deterioration in the course of their natural function, as well as defects resulting from failure to maintain, clean, replace or restore such elements. Items such as aesthetic components, door seals, hinges, condenser filters, handles, closing mechanisms, relays, contactors, capacitors, and fuses are excluded, unless defects are detected during installation and testing.
6.1.5 The warranty excludes transport-related damage when the Purchaser is responsible for transport. In such cases, the Purchaser must inspect the delivered Products, as outlined in Articles 3.1.3 and 3.2.2.
6.1.6 The warranty does not cover defects caused by improper use of the Product, including use not in accordance with the intended purpose or with the manufacturer's instructions, or defects resulting from installation not in accordance with the technical specifications or with the instructions contained in the use and maintenance manuals and installation manuals, if any. Likewise, the warranty does not apply if spare parts are used that are not original or not authorised by the Seller. The warranty does not apply to defects or malfunctions attributable to failure to update the Equipment to the latest software version available on the Irinox Aftersalestools technical portal, as provided for in Art.5.7.
6.1.7 Any complaints relating to so-called apparent defects, such as, by way of example, those referring to the external characteristics of the Products themselves must be communicated to Irinox, under penalty of forfeiture, within 8 days of receipt of the Products (days being understood to be working days).In any case, the Purchaser is required to produce to Irinox appropriate photographic documentation of the damaged Products. The Purchaser also has the right to return Products with so-called apparent defects to Irinox with transport at its own expense and duly provided with suitable packaging to preserve their contents.
6.1.8 Any complaints relating to all other defects that cannot be detected by diligent inspection on receipt (so-called hidden defects) must be communicated to Irinox, under penalty of forfeiture, within 8 days from the date of discovery of the defect by the Purchaser (days are understood to be working days) and, in any case, no later than the warranty term referred to in Article 6.1.3 above.
6.1.9 The communication must be made in writing, clearly specifying the defective Product, its serial number, the delivery date of the Product (Article 6.1.3), the installation and testing report, and the nature of the defect, supported by appropriate photographic documentation.
6.1.10 If a Product is defective and the Purchaser has notified Irinox in accordance with the provisions of this Article 6.1, Irinox, if it ascertains the actual presence of a defect covered by the warranty, will notify the Purchaser and remedy the defect as soon as possible. In the event of defects, the Purchaser may, at its option, demand the termination of the contract or a reduction of the price, unless, for certain defects, standard practice excludes termination. The choice is irrevocable when it is made with the court application. If the delivered thing has perished as a consequence of defects, the Purchaser is entitled to rescission of the contract; if, on the other hand, it has perished by accident or fault of the Purchaser, or if the Purchaser has alienated or transformed it, the Purchaser may only demand a reduction of the price.
Additionally, the Seller may address the defect by providing replacement parts under warranty without any transport cost or, at their discretion, replacing the defective Product with one free from defects. Labour costs for installing the replacement, as well as any customs duties, shall always remain the responsibility of the Purchaser.
6.1.11 Pursuant to Article 1462 of the Italian Civil Code, no claim concerning the quality of the Products may be asserted, not even by way of exception, unless the full amount payable by the Purchaser has been paid in accordance with the agreed terms and conditions.
6.1.12 The Purchaser must provide Irinox with the information specified in Article 6.1.9, particularly details of the identified defect, the serial number, the Product delivery date, and the installation and testing report. If such information is not provided, Irinox will be unable to process the Purchaser's warranty request. In any case, the Purchaser cannot claim the warranty from Irinox if the reported defect arises from failure to comply with the use and maintenance manuals, if any, and/or instructions provided by Irinox, and/or due to improper use, and/or incorrect installation of the Equipment as specified in the installation manual, and/or if non-original spare parts were used.
6.1.13 Except in cases of wilful misconduct or gross negligence by the Seller, any further liability of the Seller, whether contractual or non-contractual, arising in any way from or in relation to the supply of defective Products, including but not limited to liability for direct, indirect, or consequential damages, lost profits, or recall campaigns, etc., is expressly excluded.

In the case of authorised returns or replacements, the Purchaser is required to ensure proper packaging of the Product or component to preserve its integrity and allow Irinox to verify any damage or defects. Failure to comply will result in Irinox applying a surcharge equal to 30% of the price of the Product – Equipment and/or Spare Parts, Accessories, and Consumables, as listed in the price list.
6.1.19 Purchasers purchasing in a professional capacity are not entitled to exercise the right of withdrawal under Articles 52 et seq. of the Consumer Code, as this right is exclusively reserved for consumers, i.e., individuals acting for purposes unrelated to their entrepreneurial, commercial, artisanal, or professional activity.

6.2.1. Exclusively for new Equipment (excluding used Equipment), Irinox provides a contractual warranty extension beyond the legal warranty period in Article 6.1, for a total duration of 24 months from the date the installation report of the Product is submitted, provided all of the following conditions are met:
- The installation report must be correctly uploaded to Irinox’s Freshcloud® platform within 5 working days of the installation.
- Irinox will not accept the report through any other submission method. Failure to upload the report within this timeframe will make it impossible to activate the contractual warranty.

If the signatory is not the Customer’s legal representative, they must be an employee or representative able to act on the Customer's behalf at the time of signing.

If this timeframe is not met, the right to the contractual warranty will automatically lapse.
6.2.2. If the Purchaser is the End User, they are responsible for completing, signing, and uploading the installation report to the Freshcloud® platform with the assistance of Irinox’s official technical partners. If the Purchaser is a reseller, to benefit from the 24-month contractual warranty, they must ensure that the Product is installed at the End User's site within the legal warranty period (Article 6.1.3). Additionally, they must ensure the report is completed, signed, and uploaded according to the requirements and deadlines outlined in Art. 6.2.1.
6.2.3. For matters not expressly covered by this contractual warranty, the provisions of the legal warranty in Article 6.1 shall apply, including the defect reporting procedures and warranty enforcement processes.
