korjauspuutteet

Korjauspuutteet refers to defects or shortcomings that are discovered after a repair has been carried out. These are issues that were not adequately addressed by the initial repair work or that have emerged as a consequence of it. In the context of consumer rights and product warranties, korjauspuutteet are particularly significant.

When a product is repaired under warranty, there is an expectation that the repair will resolve the original issue and not introduce new problems. If a korjauspuute arises, it means the repair was not performed satisfactorily. This can manifest in several ways, such as the original fault reappearing, a new fault developing that is directly related to the repair process, or the repair failing to meet the agreed-upon standards.

Consumers have rights when faced with korjauspuutteet. Depending on the jurisdiction and the terms of the warranty, these rights may include a demand for a further repair, a price reduction, or even cancellation of the sale and a refund. The seller or service provider is typically given an opportunity to rectify the korjauspuute. If they are unable to do so, or if the repeated failures persist, the consumer's rights may be further strengthened. Establishing whether a defect constitutes a korjauspuute often involves assessing the nature of the defect and its relation to the prior repair.
