Szavatolása

Szavatolása is a Hungarian legal term referring to warranty or guarantee. It is a legal obligation undertaken by a seller or service provider to ensure that a product or service is free from defects and performs as expected for a specified period. This obligation is established by law and cannot be waived by the seller unless explicitly agreed upon in specific circumstances, such as the sale of used goods where the warranty may be limited or excluded.

The purpose of szavatolása is to protect consumers from faulty goods or substandard services. If a defect appears within the warranty period, the consumer has certain rights, which may include repair, replacement, a price reduction, or in some cases, the right to withdraw from the contract and receive a refund. The specific rights and obligations related to szavatolása are detailed in Hungarian civil law.

The duration of the warranty period can vary depending on the type of product or service and whether it is new or used. For new consumer goods, a minimum warranty period is generally stipulated by law. Sellers are responsible for proving that a defect was not present at the time of sale or that it arose due to improper use by the consumer, depending on the circumstances. Consumers are typically required to notify the seller of any defects within a reasonable time after discovering them.
