Guarantee terms and conditions
The guarantee certifies solely that DFX will replace any product with an equivalent or repair the product at its own cost if it ceases functioning within the guarantee period after purchase (‘the guarantee’).
The guarantee is void if (i) the defect appears to be due to gross negligence or to the product not being used for its intended purpose, (ii) no proof of purchase can be provided by request of DFX or (iii) it appears that the Guarantee & Safety, Installation and Operating Instructions have not been followed.
The guarantee is limited exclusively to the aforementioned. Specifically, the guarantee should not be interpreted as acceptance of any liability of DFX which does not exist under the current laws and regulations.

- If the product is reinstalled after being previously used, the instructions should always be consulted again.
- You are urgently advised to have the product installed by experienced technicians.
- If the product is intended for mounting another product, for example a monitor, computer or tablet, the installation instructions provided with that product must also be followed closely.
- In case of any doubt as to the correct installation method, or if there is a contradiction between the installation instructions in this document and those provided with another product as mentioned under 4, the product should not be installed and/or used. In that case, contact the supplier.
- Keep the product and packaging materials out of reach of children! The product is equipped with small parts, which could be swallowed and may cause death by suffocation.
- It is very important that any of the product’s rotating/moveable parts can move unimpeded.
