    At the beginning of February this year. I took the satellite tuner to repair under warranty. A month has passed and service says they are still waiting for parts to be repaired.

    Is there any act in Polish law that specifies the date of repair so that it can be invoked?

    Of course there is an act http://www.mg.gov.pl/NR/rdonlyres/02CDFF11-42...7A-240588C1EDBF/16575/Ust_o_szczegol_warunek_ sponsor_konsumenc_tekst_je.pdf

    There are 2 types of claims:
    1. Due to the "non-compliance of the goods with the contract" in relation to the seller. Here, the seller must respond to your claim within 14 business days if the service is located in the same city as the store and 21 business days if the service is located in a different city.
    2. On the basis of the "warranty" in relation to the guarantor, ie the one who grants the warranty (usually it is the manufacturer or distributor). The guarantee is a service provided by the guarantor entirely voluntarily, and its implementation methods are described in the guarantee card. If the guarantor has not specified the date of the warranty repair, he may even carry it out for a year. If, however, he has set a time limit, this time limit obliges the guarantor to fulfill this guarantee.

    As you can see, it is usually better to pursue claims for "non-compliance of the goods with the contract" against the seller, because here you have a maximum of 21 working days.

    Read the warranty card carefully, there are conditions, if there are no general regulations in Poland.

    There are different provisions in other warranty cards - usually 14 days, sometimes 30 days. But there is no deadline in this card and the service says that the deadline is not specified by the manufacturer and theoretically can be any long.

    And you have to pay attention to "days" and "working days". 14 working days is almost three weeks.

    Yes, I know that it is about working days in the warranty regulations. But there is no record of the number of days in which the service will repair / replace the equipment. It may be somewhere on top in some statute.
    The equipment is in the service from February 3. So today is the 25th working day.

    Hi.
    It would be best to ask the manufacturer / representative in Poland, not the service itself.
    Good luck

    Call the headquarters, not this service, and ask, without giving your data, how long their service lasts. And you will have it first hand.

    And of course you have a receipt or invoice for the purchase?
    Is something wrong here?
    If it is to be correct, you must have at least a receipt (confirmation document), if so, always with the receipt and "purchase" you have the right to exchange or return the "cash" (STORE).
    If you have the above-mentioned documents, you have a warranty card for a given product, you can apply directly to the manufacturer (authorized service) for replacement or return of the "cash".
    No one does the grace, but do you have at least a receipt from this transaction?

    I have a receipt and a warranty card. The service center has the original warranty card and a copy of the receipt.
    So what's wrong here?

    The equipment is handed over to an authorized service center, because only there they repair under warranty.

    Which service will accept equipment for warranty repair without a valid proof of purchase? I have used warranty repairs several times and the proof of purchase was always the basis. If there is no repair, there is no warranty.

    I have looked at the internet and it turns out that there is no law in which there is a record of how much time the service has to repair.

    You will do it this way - you will go to the Chorzów City Hall and ask about the CUSTOMER OF CONSUMER RIGHTS. There is one in every city. And you will ask him.

    Read carefully the law I sent you. Everything is explained there.

    The main thing is where did you file your complaint?
    In the shop?
    Is it on the manufacturer's website?

    If you have submitted to the store, the store has 21 business days to respond to your claim. But for this to be the case, you should go to the store and clearly indicate or even hand them a letter that you are filing a complaint for "non-compliance with the contract" and not for "warranty".
    In this case, you do not even show the warranty card, because it applies only to the guarantor. When submitting a claim for "non-compliance of the goods with the contract" with the seller, you only show the proof of purchase. When the seller wants you to show the warranty card, you should ask for confirmation in writing that the seller has acknowledged that the claim is due to "non-compliance ..." and is directed to the seller, not to the guarantor. Very often, sellers try to sell the consumer, pushing claims onto the guarantor.
    If you make a claim for "non-compliance ...", the seller must settle the claim within a maximum of 21 working days. Otherwise, he considers your claim justified and must do as you wish.
    For example:
    You come to the seller and say that this equipment does not fulfill the functions that were promised during its purchase, ie it freezes or does not answer at all, etc. Please withdraw from the contract and refund your money.
    The seller has the choice of either agreeing to your claim and refunding your money or removing the defect. He replies that he will give you a reply within these 21 business days. Receives the equipment and sends it to the service. If he notifies you within these 21 business days that the equipment has been repaired and you can pick it up, i.e. it has been restored to the condition specified in the contract, you are obliged to accept the equipment after repair and consider your claim for refund as unfounded.
    However, if it turns out that the seller has not repaired this equipment within these 21 working days and has not notified you about this fact, it is tantamount to accepting your claim and then the seller must return the money to you along with additional costs that you had to bear directly related to complaint.
    Such a claim is better because it is protected by law.
    As a consumer, you define the type of claim.
    This only applies to consumers, i.e. purchases by individuals and not by the company. In the case of companies, there are slightly different rules and there is a warranty.

    In case of warranty, you can only claim what is written on the warranty card. If there is a repair record, and there is no replacement or refund, you can only request repair.
    Unless the warranty card specifies the warranty repair period and it has been exceeded. Then you can demand the termination of the contract.

    If you have filed a complaint with the manufacturer's website, they can repair this equipment for even 5 years if the warranty card does not include a specified date for settling a complaint under the "warranty".

    If it was in the store that they sent you back to the factory service, they simply "squeezed you". You just got tricked.

    There is an act that I gave you a link to earlier.
    If you return the equipment for repair under the "warranty", this service is obliged to perform the repair within the period specified in the warranty card. If such a date is not specified in the warranty card, the service can repair this equipment for any period of time (one month, one year, two, ten years) - because this is what the Act says.
    Of course, the repair cannot be done indefinitely and you can refer to the nuisance because of this, requesting a refund, but then it is only with the Consumer Ombudsman.

    Not 21, but only 14 and not only working calendars and only to respond to the complaint, the date of any repair is not specified.

    Unfortunately, I used the manufacturer's warranty, because the store I bought from (December 2010) no longer exists.
    ? I do not have a warranty card at home, but I only read that the service will repair it as soon as possible. Without stating how much this time limit is. So from the posts above, I should understand that it may be, for example, a year and will still be legal.
    On Thursday, when I was on the site, they said that they would get parts from China in the next few days and they would be able to fix it.
    We'll see how long this goes on.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the duration of warranty repairs for a satellite tuner in Poland. The user submitted the device for repair at the beginning of February and has been informed that parts are still pending, raising concerns about the legal timeframe for repairs. Responses highlight that Polish law mandates sellers to respond to claims within 14 to 21 business days, depending on the location of the service. However, warranty repairs are less regulated, and if no specific timeframe is mentioned in the warranty card, the repair could theoretically take an extended period. Users suggest contacting the manufacturer or consumer rights organizations for further clarification and assistance.
