• by courier shipment – after submitting a service request and completing the request form. Registration of the device at the service centre requires a correctly completed request form.
2.3. The Client is obliged to appropriately secure and pack the device for transport. INTERLAB shall not be liable for damage arising in transport as a result of improper packaging.
2.4. The Client bears full responsibility for the correct completion of the request form, in particular with regard to identification data and invoicing data.

2.6. After the device is delivered to INTERLAB, within 14 days of its receipt, the Client receives a quotation of the Service costs. In the event of non-acceptance of the quotation, a diagnosis fee of PLN 300 net is charged.
2.7. If, after receiving the device, INTERLAB determines that, due to its condition or characteristics, it is not possible to perform the service work properly, it shall promptly inform the Client thereof. In the event that the inability to carry out the repair results from circumstances for which the Client is responsible, a diagnosis fee of PLN 300 net is charged.
2.8. In the event that, after the diagnosis is carried out, it turns out that the device is working properly and does not require repair, the Client is charged a diagnosis fee of PLN 300 net.

2.12. In the event of unavailability of replacement equipment or a device of a generically similar type, the Client shall have no claims whatsoever against INTERLAB on this account, including in a situation where the performance of the service work were to take longer than initially anticipated.

a) carry out a more detailed diagnosis, in particular at a foreign service centre of the manufacturer,
b) perform a calibration by a specialised institute, a state authority or another entity accredited by the manufacturer of the device,
INTERLAB shall inform the Client thereof. In the event of acceptance, before ordering the performance of these activities, the Client shall receive a pro forma invoice covering the anticipated cost. Payment of the amount due is a condition for performing the additional activities.
2.14. If, in the course of the Service:
a) it becomes necessary to perform additional repairs resulting in an increase in the price of the service by more than 10%,
b) the value of the service increases by more than 10% in relation to the original quotation,
INTERLAB shall inform the Client thereof. In the event of non-acceptance of the additional costs, the service shall be performed within the originally agreed scope, provided that this is possible with regard to the reliability and correctness of its performance. Otherwise, INTERLAB is entitled to terminate the agreement, and the Client is obliged to cover the costs incurred by INTERLAB up to the time of termination of the agreement.
2.15. The quotation of Service costs sent to the Client is valid for 14 days from the date of its receipt. Failure to accept it within this period results in the charging of a diagnosis fee of PLN 300 net, and the device shall be returned to the Client at the Client’s cost and risk.

2.20. The completion time of the Service depends on the availability of spare parts. The dates provided by INTERLAB are indicative in nature and failure to meet them does not constitute grounds for any Client claims.
2.21. INTERLAB does not grant any warranty on the technical inspections performed. Any comments regarding the quality of the service should be reported at the moment of collection of the device and noted in the protocol. The absence of a protocol means that the service was performed properly, and INTERLAB has the right to refuse the subsequent remedy of reported faults.

2.25. A complaint is submitted by sending a description of the fault to the e-mail address: serwis@interlab.pl and by completing the request form available on the INTERLAB website, indicating that the request concerns a complaint. The device should then be delivered to the Service centre.
2.26. INTERLAB provides a response to a complaint within 14 business days of its receipt.

INTERLAB shall not be liable for changes in the condition of the device that occurred during the performance of the service.
2.28. INTERLAB shall not be liable for data stored in the memory of devices delivered to the Service centre, nor for their loss, damage or alteration during the performance of the services.

The unavailability of replacement equipment does not entitle the Client to any claims whatsoever against INTERLAB.
3.6. The release of replacement equipment is subject to the Client signing a rental protocol. Failure to accept the protocol entitles INTERLAB to refuse the release of the replacement equipment. The replacement equipment must be returned no later than at the time of completion of the warranty repair and collection of the Device.
3.7. If INTERLAB determines that:
• the fault does not occur, or
• the fault is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, in particular where it results from improper use, mechanical damage, flooding, the action of external factors, self-performed repairs or interference by third parties,
