Repair and Service

Free warranty and chargeable repair, return and service.

 

Dear Heizteufel customer.


Please note that repairs may take more time during the winter season! Ideally, you should send in your items to be repaired before the winter season in order to be prepared against the cold in time.


In order to process your repair or return, please follow these return procedures to help us process your service case quickly. 

  • Download the file REPAIR AND RETURNS REQUEST and complete the form with the missing information.
  • Send the repair and return order by email or fax to our service address. Within 2 business days, we will send you an RMA number (return authorization number). Or call us to get an RMA No. Immediately.
  • Enter the RMA number in the form field or write the RMA number clearly visible on the shipping package. The issued RMA number is used to identify the repair and must be included with all requests. You will find the RMA number on all associated delivery bills and invoices.


It is absolutely necessary to send in one completely filled out repair and return order per device or order, otherwise your items cannot be processed. (Bundling several returns on one form is not possible).

  • In case of justified warranty claims, the equipment will be repaired immediately and free of charge or you will receive a replacement free of charge. To carry out a repair, please be sure to enclose a copy of the invoice or delivery note as proof. Without proof, we can only carry out a chargeable repair. In case of warranty we will pay the shipping costs preferably with a parcel return bill free of charge for you. In all other cases, the customer pays the shipping costs.
  • Please check the device thoroughly to see if there is actually a defect. If an intact device is sent in for repair, a flat-rate inspection fee will be charged, even in the case of existing warranty claims. For this we charge you a test and handling lump sum of 50,00 €.
  • In the case of defective articles, please send all articles of the order concerned or clarify by telephone which articles are to be sent in!
  • In the case of a chargeable repair, a cost estimate can be made before the repair is carried out. The cost of a cost estimate includes a functional test and amounts to a flat rate of 50.00 €, 50% of which will be charged when a repair order is placed. In the event that the repair is not ordered, which must be within 2 weeks after our cost notification, we must charge this service according to the cost lump sum, the product will then be returned at cost.


If the manufacturer of the defective product offers an exchange procedure, you will not receive your own device back, but an exchange device of the same type. Send us your device only with accessories from the original scope of delivery. Accessories not included in the scope of delivery cannot be tested.

 

No liability can be accepted for accessories supplied that exceed the standard scope of delivery.

 

If possible, always use the original packaging, only it offers optimal protection during transport or shipping.


Our general terms and conditions as well as repair and service conditions apply.


 

Notes

  • Complaints will only be accepted on presentation of a completed service bill and a description of the fault!
  • Custom-made products are generally excluded from exchange and revocation!
  • Orders of articles which partly contain custom-made products (see selection in the article attributes menu in the Heizteufel webshop) can be revoked or exchanged.
  • The cost of custom-made items will not be refunded in case of revocation and will be recalculated in case of exchange!


 
Remark: 

Please clean used, worn clothing/underwear before sending it in for repair. Otherwise, we will charge you for the cost of cleaning.


 
Defects not covered by warranty:

  • Cable breaks and consequential damage caused by improper handling of RCA cables. (e.g. cable bent too much, pulled too hard on the cable, held the cable when putting on clothes, etc.).
  • Pushbuttons that have been damaged by improper handling (e.g. pushbutton pressed so hard that the pushbutton head is defective, pushbutton pressed so hard that it was pressed out of its silicone coating)
  • Articles that have been opened by the customer
  • Heating articles which were operated with wrong voltage
  • Technique which was operated with wrong voltage / polarity / short circuit
  • Burns to the skin or articles due to open RCA plug connections where an electrical voltage is present (underwear with integrated wiring is operated, but without gloves / socks connected → an electrical voltage is present at the RCA plug, which leads to a short circuit due to liquids).

§ 8 Warranty

(1) The statutory rights of liability for defects shall apply.

(2) In the case of used goods, the warranty period shall be one year as of the delivery of the goods, in deviation from the statutory regulation.

The shortening of the period shall not apply:

- for culpably caused damages attributable to us from injury to life, body or health and in the case of other damages caused intentionally or by gross negligence;
- if we have fraudulently concealed the defect or assumed a guarantee for the quality of the item.

(3) As a consumer, you are requested to check the item immediately upon delivery for completeness, obvious defects and transport damage and to notify us and the carrier of any complaints as soon as possible. If you do not comply with this, this will affect your statutory warranty claims.

(4) If you are an entrepreneur, the above warranty provisions shall apply in deviation from the above:

a) Only our own information and the manufacturer's product description shall be deemed agreed as the quality of the item, but not other advertising, public promotions and statements by the manufacturer.

b) In the event of defects, we shall, at our discretion, provide warranty either by repair or by subsequent delivery. If the rectification of defects fails, you may at your discretion demand a reduction in price or withdraw from the contract. The remedy of the defect is considered to have failed after a second unsuccessful attempt, unless something else results from the type of item or defect or other circumstances. In the event of rectification of defects, we do not have to bear the increased costs incurred by the transfer of the goods to a place other than the place of performance if the transfer does not correspond to the intended use of the goods.

c) The warranty period is one year as of the delivery of the goods.

The shortening of the period shall not apply:  

- for culpably caused damages attributable to us from injury to life, body or health and in the case of other damages caused intentionally or by gross negligence;
- in such case that we have fraudulently concealed the defect or have assumed a guarantee for the quality of the item.
- in the case of items that have been used for a building in accordance with their usual purpose and have caused its defectiveness;
- in the case of statutory rights of recourse which you have against us in connection with rights in respect of defects.
