Why BX8 KNX?

Smart Shading with KNX

Energy efficiency is a must – not an option: Since the German GEG amendment 2023, significantly stricter limits for primary energy consumption have applied to new buildings. Without smart building automation, it is almost impossible to combine comfort, efficiency and legal compliance. Smart systems such as KNX control heating, cooling and sun protection as required – fully automatically and reliably.

Garantía legal

Aviso armonizado de la UE sobre la garantía legal

Garantía legal mínima de dos años para los bienes vendidos en la Unión Europea.

Los consumidores pueden hacer valer los derechos que les otorga la garantía legal de conformidad, por ejemplo, si los bienes:

  • no coinciden con la descripción;
  • no funcionan según lo previsto.

Los vendedores son responsables de cualquier falta de conformidad que existiera en el momento de la entrega de los bienes y que se ponga de manifiesto dentro del período de garantía legal. Los vendedores que se encuentren en tal situación están obligados a ofrecer:

  • la reparación o sustitución gratuitas;
  • en algunos casos, una reducción del precio o un reembolso total.

Algunos países tienen un período de garantía legal más largo. En el caso de los bienes de segunda mano, dicho período puede ser más corto, pero nunca inferior a un año.

Qué hacer si recibe bienes no conformes:

  1. Póngase en contacto con el vendedor lo antes posible para notificar el problema;
  2. Aporte pruebas de la compra, como un recibo, una factura o un extracto bancario.

Los vendedores y los productores también pueden ofrecer garantías comerciales, que se aplican independientemente de la garantía legal. Por ejemplo, la etiqueta GARAN representa una garantía comercial de durabilidad ofrecida por el productor sin coste adicional y que cubre la totalidad del bien.

Para obtener más información sobre sus derechos en un país específico, consulte la página que figura a continuación o pregunte al vendedor. https://europa.eu/youreurope/garantías
