    In any case, it has to be pointed out that the materials, even if adequately lightfast to sunlight and artificial light, may be subject to alterations over time due to prolonged exposure to light, washing and ordinary mechanical wear.

    The guarantee refers to original product manufacturing defects and consists of replacement or repair, free of charge, of the unusable or defective parts, ascertained and acknowledged as such by B&B Italia or its representative.

    The guarantee does not cover anomalies and spoilage due to:

    This provision also applies to those products that are designed to be installed directly by the consumer, in the presence of correct and exhaustive instructions.

    The guarantee shall be forfeited if the products are unassembled, modified or repaired by anyone who is not authorised by B&B Italia.

    Any intervention made in guarantee does not interrupt the course thereof.

    To exercise the rights deriving from this guarantee, the relevant "Product data sheet - Guarantee" shall be forwarded to B&B Italia (to the address stated below) bearing the date of manufacture; said "Product data sheet - Guarantee" shall therefore be retained for the entire period during which the guarantee is valid.
