Nintendo offers a repair subscription for the Switch in Japan – Gaming – News

If you mean the two years in the Netherlands, this is not correct. As a consumer you have a legal right to a sound product. Two years is not specified in that way at all. This means that the product must have the properties that you can reasonably expect on the basis of the purchase agreement. The product you buy must be good. If not, the seller must repair the product, issue a new product, or refund the money. That is the legal guarantee POINT. Unless the seller can prove that the product broke through your fault or that you cannot prove after the legal warranty of 1 year that it was not your fault that the product broke.

A game console like the Switch is a product where you can expect an expected lifespan of more than two years (Although you might argue about the thumbsticks on the controller). ICTwaarborg.nl gives a problem-free lifespan of 2-5 years for a laptop, for example. After an x ​​period, however, you must be able to prove that you are not the culprit, as I also indicated above. However, the warranty is still there and they should simply repair the defective product.

It is a pity that due to the difficult nature of the selling party, so many consumers no longer dare to claim their rights. Unfortunately, obtaining your right through legal procedures costs money, time and energy that many do not have and therefore buy it off from the selling party, as is now the case with this repair contract and AppleCare is also such an example of surrender rights that you should often already have.

The expected life of a product
An important aspect of what you can reasonably expect from a product is how long the product should function without requiring repair. This is also known as the problem-free life or the technical life of a product.

Determining the trouble-free life of a product is a tricky business, because it depends on the type of product, the brand and the price, among other things. For example, on the ICTwaarborg.nl website, the problem-free lifespan of a desktop PC, a laptop and a hard drive is set at 2 to 5 years. Whether the laptop should function without any problems for two years or five years will therefore depend on the brand and the price.

When does a product not meet the conformity requirement?

The product does not meet the requirement of conformity if it does not perform what you can reasonably expect from the product. This is the case if the product:
– is a wrong product (for example a different type and number)
– is incomplete,
– is damaged,
– is broken whether it intermittently works or not,
– breaks down within the expected life, or
– you cannot do with it what has been communicated to you by the seller (or in the advertising and brochure of the manufacturer).
