17. Repairs, Service and Calibrations


If you return an item to us with a request for service, repair, or calibration and, after receiving a quote or diagnosis, decide not to proceed with the recommended repair or calibration, an administrative fee of €50, excluding VAT, will be charged. This fee covers costs associated with the diagnosis, administrative processing, and other related services. Additional return shipping costs, if applicable, will be billed separately.

Should you choose to purchase a new replacement product, the aforementioned calculated administrative fee of €50, as well as the return shipping costs, will be deducted from the purchase price of the replacement item.
Both items will then be returned together.
