The client must notify FLORA Ltd about the defect found in the form of a written application within 30 calendar days from the date the defect occurred, including as many details as possible about the defect or deficiency found and information on the exact location of the product. Contracting party to the Agreement on Execution of the Order and Installation of the Structure or its authorized person alone shall be entitled to request warranty repair.

The application shall indicate:

Warranty shall not apply to:
- Visual defects which cannot be seen at a distance of 1.5 m from the structure and which do not affect the functionality of the window.
- Defects caused by high humidity (above 65%) after installation of structures (e.g., from plaster or laying of concrete floors).
- If no canopy has been provided/installed above the exterior door, which protects it from direct external factors.
- Defects caused to the wooden structure, fittings, aluminium profiles, parts due to aggressive environment (the presence of chemicals).
- Structures if they have not been installed according to installation instructions of FLORA Ltd.
- Cases where the client does not know the Order Agreement number, or name, surname (for individuals), company name (for legal entities), who signed the Order Agreement.
- Damage caused by force majeure (e.g., storms, floods, riots, etc.).

- Functional defects caused to the structure as a result of unauthorized repair or modification.
- Damage caused by construction/repair workers.
- Damage caused by people deliberately or unknowingly due to negligence, neglect, ignorance or in bad faith (e.g., damaged fittings, because the structure was closed with the use of extra force).
