All products that can be purchased on Vacuum Tubes Treasures are covered by a warranty, as regulated by Legislative Decree no. 206/2005 (Consumer Code) and by the Civil Code, in the part dedicated to the sales contract, in articles. 1490 et seq.

What is the guarantee.

The guarantee means the commitment undertaken by Vacuum Tubes Treasures towards the customer to repair or replace free of charge and within a reasonable period of time, the products or components of the appliances which present defects of conformity in the manufacturing or material. If the repair or replacement of the goods proves to be excessively expensive or problematic, the customer can obtain a price reduction or termination of the contract. To determine the amount of the price reduction or the sum to which the customer is entitled in these cases, the use that has been made of the product is taken into account.

Remember that minor defects, for which it is not possible or excessively expensive to repair or replace, do not give the right to terminate the contract.

If the product you purchased is defective, contact us immediately, so that we can find the most suitable solution to your needs.

Different customers, different ways of exercising the guarantee.

For consumers - i.e. for "natural persons acting for purposes unrelated to any entrepreneurial or professional activity carried out" (art. 3, paragraph 1, letter a) of Legislative Decree 206/2005) – the guarantee extends to two years following delivery of the goods.
