The process and use of repair service – exchange service 

If you find a unit on our website which is the equivalent of the defective product, by adding this item to cart, a window pops up. If you do not wish to order the repair service of more products, the order process can be started by clicking on the “Proceed to checkout” button. After that, the billing and delivery data must be fully and accurately completed. After having read and accepted the General Terms and Conditions and ticking the checkbox, you can finalize your order of our repair service by clicking on the “Send order” button. Ordering our repair service may only be used after accepting the General Terms and Conditions. This, however, does not automatically mean that COWARE accepts the offer of the Customer. Ordering our repair service does not depend on registration. The Customer accepts that by clicking on the “Send order” button results in payment obligation. COWARE confirms the receipt of request of repair service sent by the Customer by sending a confirmation email to the Customer. This confirmation email contains the request from the Customer for repair service, the Customer’s data provided upon registration (billing and delivery information), the purchase order number, the date of the order, the list and amount of the ordered services and net and gross prices of ordered services, delivery expenses and the total amount due. In addition, the postal address of the defective item which needs to be returned is included in the confirmation email. The official order confirmation of our repair service and the contract between COWARE and the Customer come into effect only when the official confirmation email is sent to the Customer. Simply placing an order does not mean that a contract between COWARE and the Customer has come into effect. COWARE confirms the receipt of the offer from the Customer (purchase order) in an automatically generated email without hesitation or within 48 hours the latest. This is only to inform the Customer about the receipt of the purchase order. The Customer is obliged to check the content of the confirmation email, and to thoroughly review the attachment and check the accuracy of the data given by the Customer.

The confirmation of receipt of the Customer’s request for exchange repair described in this section does not imply the acceptance of the Customer’s offer. The contract can only be regarded as signed when COWARE declares the acceptance of the request for exchange service which is sent to the Customer in a separate confirmation email.

 

In case there the part requested for exchange repair is not available at the time of the order, COWARE reserves the right to decline the order for exchange repair. In this case, the contract will not be signed. 

Any problems, extra delivery or other costs, impossibility or delay due to inaccurately or not incompletely given data is the sole responsibility of the Customer and the Customer must bear all the consequences. The offer ceases to be binding if the Customer does not receive a confirmation email of the requested repair service from COWARE within 48 hours and the Customer is exempt from the offer. Processing the orders is done on a ‘first come first served’ basis until 11.00 a.m. on working days. It is possible to place orders at other times than the previously given time-frame but if the order is placed after 11.00 a.m., the order will be processed on the following day. It is mandatory to ship the defective product to us and the part must be accompanied by the exact description of the error and the error codes. Defective items must be returned for us within 5 working days. If required, we can provide assistance in delivering the defective items to our site. The defective items that are shipped to us must have all parts and units that are necessary for the operation of the product (including cover items). 

The product is not eligible for exchange repair if it was purposefully assembled from defective parts and/or
signs of unprofessional repair or modification are visible.
All parts and units must be returned for us that are essential for the operation and serviceability of the product.
(Including covering units).
  
COWARE reserves the right to unilaterally cancel, modify, correct or replace business conditions with a new
version according to our own consideration.
Upon registration and placing an order and finishing the process of order, the Customer verifies that they were
acquainted with and fully understood the business conditions, and expressed consent to be bound by the
business conditions, and regards them as an inseparable part of the sales contract and considers them as the
regulator of the contractual relation.

 

Price of repair services

The prices of services shown on the website of COWARE include value-added tax and other revenues. All our repair services are at fixed prices, which are given in Hungarian Forint (HUF) and Euro (EUR) next to the name of the given product. The delivery cost is added to the price of the service at the end of the ordering process upon entering the ‘Proceed to checkout’ menu. 

 

Issuing the invoice

COWARE gives its Customer a paper-based invoice of the ordered exchange repair services in all cases. The due date of payment is always 14 calendar days after the date when the invoice was issued. 

 

Default interest

COWARE has the right to charge a default interest for invoices that have not been paid by the due date of payment. If the Customer fails to pay the amount stated on the invoice until the previously determined due date of payment, COWARE calls for immediate payment by sending a letter to the Customer. In case of overdue payment, the Customer also needs to pay a fee, a default interest and the cost of the warning notice in addition to paying the amount of the invoice. The amount of the default interest shall be calculated based on the effective legislative measures at the time when the interest incurred. Obligation to pay default interest starts on the following day after the previously determined due date of payment. Default interest must be paid even if the delayed payment is excused by the Customer. In case of overdue payment, first the additional charges must be credited from the payments of the Customer then the principal balance must be covered irrespective of instruction of the obliged party. In case the Customer fails to pay the amount of the invoice despite the warning notice, COWARE may take the necessary legal steps of debt collection.

 

Delivery

Delivery deadlines to addresses in other countries can be found in the ‘Delivery’ menu. COWARE is not responsible for delays or losses arising from our courier’s fault. If you notice any damages on the parcel when receiving the package, the Customer is not obliged to accept the parcel. In this case, the courier partner has to issue a record of the damaged parcel. Please inform us about the damage as soon as possible at coware@coware.hu. Please return the defective product to our address with the description of the defect and in the wooden box provided by COWARE. The wooden box is the property of COWARE. COWARE is not responsible for any delays in delivery and other problems arising from the fault of the Customer, for example inaccurate or incomplete data. Delivery time is longer in case of force majeure events such as war, terrorism, strike, mass lay-offs, changes in industry, fire, natural disaster and flood.

Wrong order

What happens if the malfunction is caused by other than the repaired and installed unit? Please notify us at coware@coware.hu as soon as possible but at least within 3 working days after the receipt of the product. Please return the item to us in a clean condition and packed carefully. In this case, the delivery cost(s) and 10% of the price of the exchange repair will be invoiced. In this case, the Customer has to cover the direct expenses of returning the product to our address. 

 

Defective item

In all cases, we send renewed and tested products in our exchange repair service. However, in some rare cases, the product might not function or might function incorrectly due to an unforeseen reason.

Maintained ownership

Wrong price, data, product name

Should a wrong price, data or product name appear on the website of COWARE despite all the care and caution COWARE takes, COWARE is not obliged to provide a repair service at a wrong price. COWARE may offer to provide service to the Customer at the correct, actual price. In this case, the Customer may cancel the order for service without any consequences. 

A wrong price is especially but not exclusively:

  • Obviously wrong, unrealistic price, which largely differs from the commonly known, universally accepted price of the given service.
  • “0” HUF (EUR) or “1” HUF (EUR) price due to a possible system error.
