1. General terms
1.1
The company Intra Lighting (hereinafter also: Manufacturer) offers a 7-year warranty to the buyers of its products under conditions set out hereafter. The 7-year warranty applies to the functional defects of the Intra Lighting products sold under the brand name “Intra Lighting” (hereinafter: Products) resulting from the defectiveness of the material being used or irregularities in the Intra Lighting production process, provided that the Product is mounted and used in accordance with the Manufacturer’s installation instructions and requirements set out hereafter. The Manufacturer’s 7-year warranty does not apply to luminaires, light management systems or other products of other manufacturers sold by Intra Lighting. In case the buyer is in doubt whether a product in question is »Intra Lighting« branded or a product of other manufacturers, it is invited to contact the Manufacturer by email (in line with Article 11 of the Manufacturer ’s General Terms & Conditions available at https://www.intra-lighting.com/terms-and-conditions) and clarify this with the Manufacturer directly.
1.2
In line with the previous paragraph, the Manufacturer guarantees that any Product sold under the brand name “Intra Lighting“ is free of malfunctions and production and/or material defects under normal conditions of use for a warranty period of 7 (seven) years, starting from the invoice or delivery note date – whichever is issued earlier. This 7-year warranty policy applies to the Intra Lighting Products, purchased from 02nd April 2018 on.
1.3
These 7-year warranty conditions do not constitute a guarantee in terms of the Slovene Consumer Protection Act and the Slovene Obligations Code. These 7-Year warranty conditions determine the contractual regime of Intra Lighting’s warranty for material defects of Products sold under the brand name “Intra Lighting” – as stipulated in Article 1.3 here-above. This 7-year warranty applies only to the first buyer of the Products – in case of eventual resale it is not transferred to any subsequent buyers (whereas, for the avoidance of doubt, in case of indirect sales through the Manufacturer`s subsidiaries, the first buyer is not the subsidiary itself, but the buyer purchasing the Product from it). If the Products are sold to the buyer by the Manufacturer`s subsidiary or its branch office, then any buyer`s claims under this 7-year warranty shall be made to the respective subsidiary or branch office, and not directly to the Manufacturer.

Additional information on LED Products:
In the case of controllers or components such as LED modules, the mean nominal failure rate is 0.2% / 1.000 hours of operation, unless expressly indicated otherwise. A decreasing of luminous flux in the case of the LED modules is up to 0,4 % every 1.000 hours and a colour point shift over the service life of LED modules shall be considered as the state of technology and thus not covered by the warranty. The luminous flux and performance of new LED modules are subject to a tolerance of ±10%. In the case that LED modules are replaced, lighting properties may vary from the original Product due to technical progress and usage-induced change in the luminous flux and light colour of Products.
