5. Right to return products

5.1 We offer a 14 day refund or exchange period. This time is counted from when the package is delivered to the customer, including weekends and holidays, not including the delivery date.

5.2 Returns are only accepted for products that are unused and re-saleable. During the 14 day period consumers have the right to acquaint themselves with the product and try it in the same way they would be able to try it in a retail store environment. Consumers may also open the packaging in order to inspect and try the product without affecting their right to return the item or cancel the purchase. However, they may not take the product into use.

5.3 Returning the item is free of charge for consumers. The return address is Nira Pumps Oy, Putajantie 42 (P.O. Box 54), 38201 Sastamala, Finland. We will refund the costs of returning the item upon receiving proof of payment, such as a receipt or invoice from the delivery company.

5.4 The date on which the delivery company has delivered the package will be regarded as the date of purchase/collection.

5.5 If, at our discretion, we accept a product that is non-saleable, incomplete or past its 14 day return period, we will charge a minimum of 25% of the product price to cover our costs.

5.6 Returned products must always be:
a) In their original packaging, properly packed, without unnecessary markings;
b) Accompanied by a copy of the receipt/delivery note;
c) Accompanied by a written description of any fault or defect in the product;
d) Returned within 14 days of the date of purchase.

5.7 When sending us anything, remember to pack the product well. By using the original packaging and inner packaging, you ensure that the product will arrive intact and undamaged. If an item returned by a consumer is damaged by the transport company, the seller (Nira.fi) will accept liability.

6. Limited International Warranty

The warranty period is determined in the agreement documents. Unless otherwise agreed, the warranty period for manufacturing and material defects is 1 year, hand pump models NIRA 1, NIRA 67 and NIRA 3B which carry a warranty of 3 years.

6.1 Warranty Conditions

The warranty is only valid if the warranty demand is presented together with the original invoice or sales slip or (order) confirmation, and the serial number on the product has not been defaced.

NIRA’s obligations are limited to the repair or, at its discretion, replacement of the product or the defective part. Defective parts shall be replaced with new or equivalent “as new” parts. If necessary, the entire product shall be exchanged with an identical or functionally identical product. The value of the warranty service is always limited to the value of the defective product. The defective parts removed from a product as part of a warranty case shall become the property of NIRA and shall be retained for by the End Customer for NIRA, if necessary. If these parts cannot be returned to NIRA upon request, NIRA is entitled to charge for a corresponding amount. When genuine NIRA parts are installed in a NIRA product under warranty, only the remaining warranty period of the repaired device applies.

Warranty repairs must be carried out by NIRA or authorised NIRA Dealers. No re-imbursement will be made for repairs carried out by a non-NIRA representative, and any such repair work or damage to the products caused by such repair work will not be covered by this warranty.

This product is not considered to be defective in materials nor workmanship if it requires adaptation in order to conform to other local or national technical or safety standards.

This warranty covers none of the following:

a) Periodic checks, maintenance and repair or replacement of parts due to normal wear and tear

b) Costs relating to transport, removal or installation of the product;

c) Misuse, including the failure to use this product for its normal purposes or incorrect installation;

d) Damage caused by lightning, water, fire, acts of God, natural catastrophes, war, public disturbances or any other cause beyond the control of NIRA;

e) Spillage of chemicals or liquids, or use of any other hazardous or non-instructed substances, which may affect the product;

f) Minor defects or deviations from the product specifications which are immaterial, negligible or trivial as regards to the value or the functioning of the product

6.2 Proceeding in a Warranty Case

The following information is an explanation of what you must do in the case of a warranty claim. First, please contact your NIRA dealer and describe the problem (possibly with photographs or videos) and inform NIRA of the product type and serial number. NIRA’s technicians will help to diagnose defects and malfunctions, and are often capable of eliminating the malfunction over the phone.

In the event that warranty service is required, you should return the product to the dealer from whom it was purchased, or directly to NIRA’s factory in Finland. In this case, the customer is responsible for the dispatch and insurance of the product, and the transport and insurance costs shall be borne by the customer. NIRA shall assume the costs for the materials / spare parts and the labour costs as required, as well as the standard return transportation to the sender. In case of difficulty, details of local dealers are available online at www.nira.fi. You may also contact the service centre in Finland (e-mail: nira.info@nira.fi).

The guarantee will become void if:

1. A NIRA product has been used in unspecified conditions or if the product is allowed to come into direct contact with chemicals or agents other than those specified in the manual;

2. A NIRA product is equipped or used with parts that have not been approved by NIRA for the product in question;

3. Someone other than a person authorised by NIRA has serviced/repaired or otherwise modified the device and these measures have caused a fault in the product;

4. Regular maintenance has not been performed.
