Warranty Terms and Conditions
- Kobiela, based in Bytów (BK Barbecues), provides a 24-month warranty, effective from the date of purchase, on concrete barbecues and fire pits, as well as on accessories manufactured by BK Barbecues.
- The warranty period is reduced to 12 months in the case of a barbecue or fire pit purchased for commercial purposes (purchase with a VAT invoice).
- The warranty covers material defects and defects arising from manufacturing faults.
- The warranty does not cover:
a) damage resulting from improper use, particularly the use of unauthorised fuels;
b) damage resulting from incorrect assembly, storage or maintenance of the product;
c) damage caused during transport and unloading;
d) damage caused whilst carrying out alterations or modifications to the barbecue/fireplace;
e) damage caused by external factors (e.g. fire, flood, vandalism, etc.);
f) wear and tear on the surface of the barbecue resulting from its use;
g) defects arising from the characteristics of concrete products which do not affect the proper functioning of the barbecue/fireplace (see Notes);
g) the stainless steel coating, which discolours as a result of excessive heat exposure;
- Warranty repairs (or replacements) will be carried out free of charge, provided that the warranty card and proof of purchase are presented.
- The method and scope of the repair shall be determined by the party providing the warranty.
- The time taken to carry out a warranty repair should not exceed 28 days from the date the complaint is received.
- The term ‘repair’ does not include any actions set out in the user manual which the user is required to carry out themselves.
- The warranty does not cover the right to claim compensation or reimbursement for lost profits arising from the malfunction of the barbecue/concrete fire pit.
- BK Barbecues is exempt from liability under the warranty if the purchaser was aware of a defect in the product at the time of purchase (e.g., in the case of purchasing a product classified as ‘second-grade’).
Notes
- The manufacturer reserves the right for variations in colour shades to occur in through-coloured concrete components; such variations shall not constitute grounds for a complaint.
- Calcium efflorescence may appear on the manufactured concrete components. The formation of efflorescence is a natural, random phenomenon entirely beyond the manufacturer’s control. However, it is a temporary phenomenon and, depending on its type and severity, will disappear after a certain period of time. The above circumstances do not constitute grounds for a complaint.
- In some cases, colour variations may occur in concrete products. These variations result from different curing conditions (temperature, air humidity, changes in weather). The age of the concrete is also a significant factor influencing changes in the colour of the products. Colour variations may become apparent when products from different production batches are used in a single construction project. The above circumstances do not constitute grounds for a complaint.
