Standard Warranty Terms
1. General
This document describes the limited warranty terms
(„warranty‟) of NEXO LUCE Srl (NL or we or derivatives).
These are NEXO LUCE‟s standard limited warranty terms covering our brands NEXO LUCE, OXEN LUCE and INLUX ITALIA. These terms shall apply to all products sold by us, a proof of which shall be requested upon any claim(s) regarding defects and issues related to our products‟ operations covered by such warranty.
Our supplied goods and products are warranted under these standard limited conditions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the standard limited warranty will not apply in the case of misuse, act of vandalism, and/or operation in an inappropriate environment. Any repair or attempt of repair by individuals other than our engineers will void the warranty unless approved by us.
Also, we shall not be liable for special or consequential damages, such as, but not limited to, damage or loss of other property or equipment; loss of profits or revenue; loss of use of power system; cost of purchased or replacement power; or claims of your customers for service interruptions.
Warranty shall not be applicable unless payment of products related invoices are fully settled.
2. Warranty period
Our products are covered by a TWO year limited warranty
that may be extended against specific terms and/or
additional cost. Warranty period starts running from the
moment goods leave the factory.
3. Claim procedure
Warranty claims shall be made initially by email to
support@nexoluce.com by the “client” (consumer if sold
directly to the consumer or by the approved
distributor/reseller if sold by the latter) within ONE week from
discovering the issue. Our claim form shall be filled and sent
along with our invoice with a detailed description of the
issue.
Upon initial assessment, if the product appears to fall under our warranty terms, the product shall be requested to be shipped to our factory with the related documents. A technical assessment shall be conducted to ensure that no misuse or wrong operations have affected the product workability and lifetime.
Transportation and shipment is not covered by our warranty and will be handled by the client. Product falling under the warranty terms shall be repaired or replaced. Replacement is at the discretion of NEXO LUCE.
4. Warranty limits
Warranty is against manufacturing defects. Cases of misuse,
installation defects, power fluctuation and surge, operation in
overheated environments, extreme weather conditions,
improper wiring, repair or attempt to repair by unapproved
engineers shall nullify this warranty.
Warranty does not cover bulbs, normal wear and tear, and the installation in an environment subject to extreme salty water and the use of any chemicals/fertilisers. The reduction of LED luminosity over time is part of a normal wear and is not covered by this warranty. Any cost of dismantling and/or installation is not covered by the warranty.
5. Product care and miscellaneous
Our outdoor products receive the appropriate treatments for
open-air use. However, this cannot resist against extreme
conditions, misuse or improper installation and operation
environment. All our products indoor/outdoor are tested and
controlled thoroughly. Care and precautions are essential to
be considered to avoid issues that may affect the warranty,
such as:

These general terms only create rights enforceable by parties falling within the definitions set out in this section and section 8 and do not create any rights enforceable by any other party ("third parties").

Where they have not been otherwise set or agreed, our fees and prices will be calculated by reference to the value of the goods/products proposed and the time spent on, the importance, complexity and urgency of, and the value of the knowledge and skills applied in the context of the particular project. Any fees/prices quoted or estimated are exclusive of value added tax (where applicable), government sales or similar taxes and disbursements. Long term agreements may be affected by a price change depending on production cost fluctuations and markets inflations.
Our normal practice is to submit invoices on an agreed schedule of payment with a minimum upfront payment of 50% for all goods and services rendered and disbursements incurred unless specified differently in the contract or specific terms of business.

10. Delay
We shall not be responsible for any failure or delay in the performance of the services and/or the delivery of any projects (goods and/or services), where such failure or delay is caused by matters beyond our control (including but not limited to your failure to comply with the obligations set out in section 4 above) such as delays in the delivery of pre- requisites from your part, and/or due to delays caused by cases of force majeure and/or delays caused by transportation and/or the availability of raw material and semi-finished components.
