Does the Right in Respect of a Defect Fall When the Warranty Period Ends?

In short

When the period on the warranty certificate ends, the right in respect of a defect does not fall of itself. The certificate is the calendar the seller or the producer wrote on the paper. The statutory record of a defect is another source. Neither period is fixed in this article as a month or a year. Each is read from its own document. The date of the invoice is not learned by heart as the last day of the certificate.

The calendar of the certificate is not the clock of the statute

The last day of the certificate is on the certificate. That day is the calendar of the sentence of repair or replacement on the certificate. The statutory period for a defect is not accepted as if it had been written in the margin of the certificate. The seller's sentence that the certificate has ended closes only the certificate. That sentence does not erase the statutory record. The months of the certificate, and the period for a defect, are not turned into a figure without the paper in hand.

If no certificate was drawn up at all, the statutory frame of a defect is not tied from memory to the absence of the certificate. If there is a certificate, it is read from its own date. The statute is read from its own text. Sticking the two onto a single calendar mixes which right has closed. A short sentence on the back of the contract is not put in place of the statute.

Notice, and the menu of choices

The consumer looks first at the end date on the certificate, then at the date the defect was seen. If neither date is on the paper, a date is not invented. The form of the notice stands in the notice of a defect record. The number of days for the notice, and the number of years of the certificate, are not written here either. The menu of the optional rights stands in the defective goods record.

The menu does not of itself close because the certificate has ended. Whether the menu is open is read from the statutory record. This text does not turn that record into a figure. The separate reading of a repair done at an authorised service stands under authorised service. A service slip is not treated as having extended the period of the certificate of itself. The step on the slip is not written in place of the day the defect was seen either.

A vehicle and household goods are not the same slip

The debate particular to a defective vehicle stands in the defective vehicle record. The certificate for household goods is not stuck onto the vehicle's service form. The invoices of the two goods are separate. The invoice shows which goods were taken from whom. If the kind of the goods is mixed, the period is mixed as well. The kind is read from the line on the invoice, and it is not reduced here to a single number of months.

The application petition cannot add an end day that is not written on the certificate. The petition is not treated as having copied the statutory period onto the certificate either. Which source is open is not said before those two papers are placed side by side. The consumer arbitration panel, or the court, is not chosen from the address of the office. The authority is read from the dispute's own record.

The seller's sentence that it has ended

The seller saying aloud that it has ended does not close the certificate, or the statute. If the oral sentence is not in the minutes, it is of no effect. If there are minutes, they should write which document has ended. A statutory record that was not written is not treated as ended in the minutes. If a promise of replacement was given, the promise is in the certificate's own sentence. While there is no promise, replacement is not announced as having arisen of itself.

A campaign poster does not stand in for the warranty certificate. If the day on the poster and the day on the certificate conflict, the certificate is taken as the basis. The conflict does not stick the period for a defect onto a single figure. The figure is read only if it is written in the source. If it is not in the source, it is not invented.

The concealment of the defect, and the end of the certificate, are not the same sentence. If the consumer says they noticed the defect later, the moment they noticed it is read from their own document. If there is no date of noticing, a date is not invented. A claim that the seller knew earlier is also shown by correspondence or by a service slip. While there is no slip, it is not said that they knew. A claim of knowledge does not stick the statutory record onto a single month.

The certificate of second-hand goods and the certificate of new goods are not mixed. On second-hand goods, a certificate may never have been drawn up. A certificate that was not drawn up does not of itself close the statutory frame of a defect. The frame is read from whether the goods were sold to a consumer, and from the contract in hand. If the contract says a commercial sale, the consumer record is not opened from memory. The character is shown by the invoice and the contract together. The silence of one does not erase the sentence of the other.

How the certificate and the statutory record are separated

The office in Çankaya does not choose the authority in the warranty record. The calendar of the certificate and the statutory record are not reduced to a single figure. A month or a year is not written before the invoice, the certificate, and the notice stand side by side.

Conclusion

When the certificate ends, the right in respect of a defect does not fall of itself. The certificate period and the statutory period are separate sources. Neither is fixed as a figure here. The frame sits on the consumer law page. The official basis is Law No. 6502 on the Protection of Consumers.

Frequently asked questions

Does the right in respect of a defect also end when the warranty certificate ends?

It does not end of itself. The certificate closes its own date. The statutory period for a defect is read apart. Neither period is fixed as a figure here.

Is the period on the certificate the same as the statutory period?

No. The certificate period is on the certificate. The statutory period is in the statute. Treating the two as a single calendar mixes which right is open.

Is a number of months or years written here?

It is not. The period is read from the certificate and from the statute, each from its own source. A number of months or years is not fixed here.
