Application of the warranty
Should a defect surface during the term of the warranty, ECD will decide, at our own discretion, if the product shall be repaired or replaced with a product of equal value, with respect to the following provisions:

• ECD cannot warrant that the finish of the replacement parts will be identical to their originals. Different production lots can show variances in colour. Also, each part can be unique and change throughout the years.
• The replacement will be carried out according to the product availability at the time of the claim. Should the product be discontinued or unavailable at that moment, ECD will fulfil the warranty in accordance with one of the following options:
  • ECD will substitute the defective part by a new similar or equivalent part or a new model that could provide the right fit.
  • Should substitution be impossible, ECD will assist you in the selection of another solution. If this other solution exceeds the value of the original part, ECD will credit the value of the original part, and will not assume the exceeding cost of the replacement part.
