Warranties

Product Warranties

NEW ALTERNATIVE TECHNOLOGIES, S.L.U., owner of www.nfortecstore.com, guarantees all computer equipment, components and other products it distributes according to the laws in force and the following conditions

The consumer can contact both the seller and the manufacturer of the product, who will be liable for any lack of conformity within two years from the date of purchase (one year for second-hand products), for products purchased before January 1, 2022. For purchases made after this date, the warranty is extended to 3 years, due to the new consumer regulations. For power supplies purchased after 2021, the warranty will be 5 years. When the non-conformity becomes apparent after 6 months and in doubtful cases, the manufacturer may require an independent expert report in order to process the warranty. In obvious cases of malfunction or irregular operation during the warranty period, there is no problem.

In any case, during the time the consumer is deprived of the product, the computation of the warranty period is suspended; for example, if the repair of an object takes 15 days, the warranty period will end 15 days later than originally foreseen.

Any manufacturer that has a warranty longer than the 3 years established by the Law in force in 2022, must deal directly with the manufacturer and NEW ALTERNATIVE TECHNOLOGIES, S.L.U. is not responsible for such cases.

The shipping costs generated by the processing of the product warranty will be borne by NEW ALTERNATIVE TECHNOLOGIES, S.L.U. in those cases where it is assumed that the lack of conformity exists in the purchased good. This should always be done following the instructions indicated by NEW ALTERNATIVE TECHNOLOGIES, S.L.U., upon request and acceptance.

Conditions for companies and distributors:When the customer is a distributor, or invoices as a company (non-individual), shipping costs to our facilities will always be borne by the customer, since the law on consumer goods does not regulate the sale between companies. In addition, the warranty in these cases will be the one stipulated by the manufacturer of the product.

The consumer may complain to the seller when the product is not in conformity with the contract:

• The purchased good does not conform to the description provided by the seller.
• The acquired good does not serve for the uses to which consumer goods of the same type are ordinarily put.
• It is not suitable for the special use that would have been required by the consumer and accepted by the seller.
• It does not present the expected quality and performance, especially considering the public statements (advertising, brochures, labeling...) about its specific characteristics made by the seller or the manufacturer.

The consumer and user has the right to:

• Repair or replace.The consumer and user may choose to the seller for repair or replacement, unless one of the two options is impossible or disproportionate. It will be considered disproportionate the one that has a higher cost. Non-fungible goods (when they are of a specific nature) and second-hand goods cannot be replaced. Both repair and replacement must be carried out within a reasonable period of time and completely free of charge for the consumer
  
  NOTE:The warranty can be managed directly with NEW ALTERNATIVE TECHNOLOGIES, S.L.U., however some manufacturers offer the direct management of the breakdowns/defects/incidents produced in their products to give a quality after-sales service and reduce the time. In these cases NEW ALTERNATIVE TECHNOLOGIES, S.L.U. will inform you so that you can decide whether to process it with us or with them.
• Reduction of the price or termination of the contract.They will proceed when the consumer and user cannot demand the repair or replacement and in cases where it has not been carried out within a reasonable time or without major inconvenience to the consumer and user. The resolution will not proceed when the lack of conformity is of minor importance.

* Warranty processing of promotional products, packs or gifts. If it is a gift, it will be replaced by another equal or, if it is not possible, of similar value, never for money. If it is a promotional product or pack, if the repair or replacement is not possible, the equivalent amount will be reimbursed, calculated taking into account the real price of the product and the discount obtained by the customer when acquiring it in promotion.
