Manufacturer's Warranty
(European Union)
1. Scope of Manufacturer's Warranty
As the Manufacturer of the unit, Truma undertakes a warranty
towards the Consumer that covers any material and/or manu-
facturing defects of the unit.
This Warranty is applicable in EU member states as well as
in Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and Turkey. A Consumer is
the natural person who was the first one to purchase the
unit from the Manufacturer, OEM or dealer and who neither
resold the unit in a commercial or self-employed professional
capacity nor did he or she install it for a third party in such a
capacity.
The Manufacturer's Warranty covers any of the aforemen-
tioned defects that occur within 24 months upon concluding
the purchase agreement between the seller and the Consumer.
The Manufacturer or an authorised service partner undertakes
to remedy such defects through subsequent fulfilment, i.e.
at its discretion either by repairing or replacing the defective
item. Any defective parts shall become the property of the
Manufacturer or the authorised service partner. If the unit is
no longer manufactured at the time of defect notification and
if replacement delivery has been opted for, then the Manufac-
turer may deliver a similar product.
If the Manufacturer remedies a defect under its warranty
commitment, the term of the Warranty shall not recommence
anew with regard to the repaired or replaced parts; rather, the
original warranty period shall continue to be applicable to the
unit. Only the Manufacturer itself and an authorised service
partner shall be entitled to conduct a warranty job. Any costs
that occur in the event of a warranty claim shall be settled di-
rectly between the authorised service partner and the Manu-
facturer. The Warranty does not cover additional costs arising
from complicated removal or installation jobs on the unit (e.g.
dismantling of furnishings or parts of the vehicle body), and
neither does it cover travel expenses incurred by the author-
ised service partner or the Manufacturer.
No further-reaching claims shall be permitted, especially dam-
age claims presented by the Consumer or third parties. This
provision shall not affect the validity of the German Product
Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz).
Neither does the voluntary Manufacturer's Warranty affect the
Consumer's legally applicable claims for defects towards the
seller in the relevant country of purchase. In individual coun-
tries there may be warranties that can be issued by the rel-
evant dealer (official distributor, Truma Partner). In such cases
the warranty can be implemented directly through the dealer
from whom the Consumer bought the unit. The warranty
regulations of the country in which the unit was purchased by
the Consumer for the first time shall also be applicable.
2. Warranty exclusions
No warranty claim shall be applicable under the following
circumstances:
– Improper, unsuitable, faulty or negligent use and any use
that is not compliant with the intended purpose
– Improper installation, assembly or commissioning, contrary
to operating or installation instructions
– Improper operation or operation contrary to operating or
installation instructions, particularly any disregard for main-
tenance, care or warning notes,
– Instances where installations, repairs or any other proce-
dures have been conducted by non-authorised parties
– Consumable materials and parts which are subject to natu-
ral wear and tear
– Installation of replacement, supplementary or accessory
parts that are not original manufacturer's parts or which
have not been approved by the manufacturer. If the device
is subject to networked control, this applies, in particular,
if the control units or the software have not been approved
by Truma or if the Truma control unit (e.g. Truma CP plus or
Truma iNet Box) has not been exclusively used for control-
ling Truma devices or devices approved by Truma.
– Damage arising from foreign substances (e.g. oil or, plas-
ticisers in the gas), chemical or electrochemical influences
in the water, or cases when the unit has come into con-
tact with unsuitable substances (e.g. chemical products,
flammable substances or unsuitable cleaning agents)
– Damage caused by abnormal environmental or unsuitable
operating conditions
– Damage caused by force majeure or natural disasters or
any other influences not within Truma's responsibility
– Damage resulting from improper transport
– End customer's or third-party modifications of the device,
including any replacement, supplementary or accessory
parts, or installation of the same, especially concerning the
exhaust gas system or the cowl.
3. Making a warranty claim
The warranty must be claimed with an authorised service part-
ner or at the Truma Service Centre. All the relevant addresses
and phone numbers can be found at www.truma.com, in the
"Service" section.
The Manufacturer's address is:
Truma Gerätetechnik GmbH & Co. KG
Truma Servicezentrum
Wernher-von- Braun-Straße 12
85640 Putzbrunn, Germany
To ensure a smooth procedure, we would be grateful if you
could have the following details ready before contacting us:
– Detailed description of the defect
– Serial number of the unit
– Date of purchase
The authorised service partner or the Truma Service Centre
will then specify the further procedure. To avoid transport
damage, the affected unit must only be shipped by prior ar-
rangement with the authorised service partner or the Truma
Service Centre.
If the warranty claim is recognised by the Manufacturer, then
the transport expenses shall be borne by the same. If no
warranty claim is applicable, the Consumer will be notified
accordingly and any repair and transport expenses shall then
be the Consumer's liability. We ask you not to send in a unit
without prior arrangement.
