What the legal guarantee is

The legal guarantee of conformity is a protection granted by law to every consumer for any consumer good sold in the European Union. It lasts a minimum of two years from delivery of the product and is always free of charge: it should not be confused with commercial guarantees offered by the manufacturer.

The seller is liable for any lack of conformity that already existed at the time the goods were delivered and that becomes apparent within the guarantee period.

When you can rely on it

You can exercise your legal guarantee rights when the product you received, for example:

Does not match the description

The item differs in material, colour, size, capacity or features from what is stated on the product page.

Does not work as expected

The item is not fit for its intended purpose, or does not deliver the performance and quality that can reasonably be expected.

Is faulty or incomplete

The product has manufacturing defects, or pieces, accessories or instructions included in the supply are missing.

The remedies available to you

Where there is a lack of conformity, the seller is required to offer:

  • Free repair or replacement of the goods, at no cost to you.
  • In some cases, a price reduction proportionate to the defect found.
  • Alternatively, a full refund of the amount paid, with termination of the contract.

Good to know: some countries provide for a legal guarantee period longer than two years. For second-hand goods a shorter period may apply, but it can never be less than one year.

Commercial guarantees and the GARAN label

Sellers and manufacturers may also offer commercial guarantees, which apply in addition to and independently of the legal guarantee: they do not replace it and do not limit your rights in any way.

The GARAN label identifies a commercial guarantee of durability offered by the manufacturer at no extra cost, covering the good as a whole and lasting longer than the two years of the legal guarantee.

Frequently asked questions

Does the legal guarantee cost anything?

No. The legal guarantee of conformity is always free of charge and is granted by law to every consumer: it does not have to be purchased or activated.

When do the two years start?

The guarantee period starts from the date the goods are delivered, not from the order or payment date.

What is the difference between the legal guarantee and the right of withdrawal?

They are two separate protections. The right of withdrawal lets you return a product bought online within 14 days without giving any reason. The legal guarantee applies instead when the product has a lack of conformity, and it lasts two years from delivery.

Does the guarantee cover breakage and damage caused by improper use?

No. The legal guarantee covers defects already present at the time of delivery. It does not cover accidental breakage, nor damage resulting from improper use, impacts, thermal shock, lack of care or normal wear and tear.

What is the difference between the legal guarantee and the Bormioli Luigi 25-Year Warranty?

They are two protections that coexist. The legal guarantee lasts two years and is provided by the seller. The 25-Year Limited Warranty is a commercial guarantee offered free of charge by Bormioli Luigi S.p.A. on the collections listed below, covering chipping and cloudiness from washing: it adds to your statutory rights without limiting them.

Guaranteed products and SON.hyx® glass

Congratulations! You own a product whose quality is the finest available on the market. Made in Italy, your new product is an outstanding combination of elegance and technology. Beyond the shape of the bowl, the fine rim and the superb stem design that are hallmarks of Bormioli Luigi S.p.A., this item is made of high-tech superior sonorous SON.hyx® glass, an exclusive formula developed in-house by Bormioli Luigi S.p.A., in which Pb (lead), Hg (mercury) and Cr (chromium) (VI) contents are not detectable and are therefore below the 100 ppm limit value.

The result is an extremely brilliant, colourless, highly sonorous glass that keeps its shine even after thousands of industrial washes, with a level of strength and durability that will let you enjoy it for many years. Cheers!

Glass features

  • Ultra clear superior sonorous glass, perfectly transparent, with Pb (lead), Hg (mercury) and Cr (chromium) (VI) contents not detectable and therefore below the 100 ppm limit value.
  • High breakage resistance.
  • No alteration: transparency and brilliance unchanged after more than 4,000 industrial washes.
Washing and care

Feel free to wash these items either by hand or in the dishwasher after every use. Make sure to rinse them carefully, so that tasting wine or other drinks is even more enjoyable.
