FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
 

I have a warranty claim. What is the procedure?

In principle, your Severne dealer, where you bought the product from, is always your central point of contact in case of a warranty claim. They record the claim and get in contact with the Severne Design Center in order to discuss the further steps.

Your dealer is also responsible for the coordination of replacing or repairing the products if applicable.

What do I need to make a warranty claim?

Proof of purchase is required for all claims made under warranty, accidental damage and misuse are not covered. Contact or visit your Severne dealer where you bought the product.

What if I ask another dealer for help with a service claim?

When you bought your equipment, you made a legal contract with your dealer. If warranty and liability claims or any other service questions arise, that dealer is your main point of contact.

Making a claim for your equipment with a dealer other than the original seller is at the discretion of the secondary dealer.

I purchased my equipment online and have an issue. What can I do? 

The seller is the central point of contact who will handle the assessment and processing of the damage. Get in contact with them as soon as possible.

How long is the liability and/or warranty period?

The statutory liability for material defects applies to the original customer of new equipment for one year. Excluded from this are damage and wear and tear parts (see Exclusions). There is also a 1-year manufacturer’s warranty on new equipment starting on the purchase day.
 

What is the difference between liability and warranty?

Liability is a statutory responsibility of the seller for material defects within a period of 1 year. Warranty is a customized service offered voluntarily by the manufacturer or seller.

   

If accepted, Severne will, at Severne´s sole option, repair or replace the defective part.

The limited warranty is exclusive and in lieu of all other warranties of quality and performance, written, oral or implied and all other warranties, including any implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, are hereby disclaimed. In no event shall Severne be liable for special, indirect, incidental, consequential, statutory or exemplary damages, whether in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability or otherwise including, without limitation, loss to property other than this product, loss of use of said products, or other property or other economic losses. Severne shall not be liable for contribution or indemnification, whatever the cause. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts and/or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation and exclusion may not apply to particular customers. Severne’s obligations under any warranty shall be limited, to the greatest extent allowed by law, as provided in this Limited Warranty. This Limited Warranty gives you specific legal rights; you may also have other rights, which vary from one jurisdiction to another.
