The GARAN guarantee is a voluntary commercial guarantee of durability provided by the manufacturer at no additional cost. It covers the product in its entirety and is valid for more than two years. The exact duration of the guarantee is stated on the product's GARAN label.
The GARAN label indicates that the manufacturer undertakes to ensure that the product maintains its required functions and performance under normal use for the period stated on the label. If the product breaks or develops a fault during the guarantee period, the manufacturer will repair or replace the product at no additional cost in accordance with the guarantee terms.
The GARAN guarantee does not limit statutory liability for defects. Verkkokauppa.com's three-year warranty is not a GARAN guarantee.
