# Warranty 🔨

## 1. General Warranty Provisions

This section establishes the procedure for providing warranty services on products purchased on the Marketplace marketplace.

- Warranty obligations are fulfilled by the Seller of the product, in strict accordance with Russian legislation.
- The Marketplace platform acts only as an information intermediary and does not participate in the fulfillment of warranty conditions.
- The warranty applies exclusively to manufacturing defects and deficiencies that are not caused by the buyer.

## 2. Warranty Period 🏷

The warranty period is set by the Seller or the product manufacturer and is published:
