gwarancyjny

Gwarancyjny is an adjective in Polish that relates to warranty or guarantee. It is used to describe terms, coverage, documents or obligations connected with a warranty, such as okres gwarancyjny (warranty period) or karta gwarancyjna (warranty card). The term appears in product labeling, service policies and contract language to indicate that a product or service is protected by a warranty.

In Poland, there are two main concepts: gwarancja, a voluntary warranty offered by the manufacturer or seller, and rękojmia, the statutory liability of the seller for defects in the goods. Gwarancjny terms are contractual and can vary by provider, while rękojmia is governed by the Civil Code. For consumer goods, the statutory period for rękojmia is typically two years from delivery, and the consumer may be entitled to repair, replacement, price reduction or withdrawal from the contract, depending on the circumstances.

Types of gwarancja include gwarancja producenta (manufacturer’s warranty), gwarancja sprzedawcy (seller’s warranty), and extended or guaranty packages offered as add-ons. Coverage usually addresses defects in materials or workmanship and is limited by exclusions such as wear and tear, improper use, accidental damage, or unauthorised modifications. Some guarantees require proper maintenance, registration, or adherence to usage guidelines.

To claim a gwarancja, retain proof of purchase and the warranty documentation, contact the seller or manufacturer, and follow the specified procedures. Remedies commonly include repair, replacement, or, if appropriate, a price reduction. Gwarancjny signals added protection beyond statutory rights, but it does not replace the legal framework of rękojmia. Always review the terms and exclusions of any warranty.
