6. Warranty and Repairs

​

6.1 Right of return and exchange (See 10.0 Special features of modified controllers)

The customer has no general right of return or exchange. There is a right of return for individual items in compliance with the return conditions. Exchange is excluded. The delivery note serves as a guarantee note. This must be kept carefully. In any case, the return must be requested in writing via e-mail. A return is only possible up to 2 weeks (14 calendar days) after receipt of the goods. The date of delivery is decisive. The goods must be returned in their original packaging, complete with all accessories and with the delivery note/guarantee certificate enclosed. It takes place at the expense and risk of the customer - rocket-games.ch recommends sending by registered mail with the additional service "Assurance".

6.2 Procedure for defective devices

The customer can claim a defect in the device provided there are no grounds for exclusion. Reasons for exclusion can be, in particular, elemental damage, moisture damage, impact or fall damage, natural wear and tear, lack of descaling of household appliances, software problems, incorrect manipulation, damage caused by external influences and interventions in the product or its modification. Wear parts, batteries, rechargeable batteries, projection lamps and housing parts are excluded from the guarantee. If there is a defect that does not fall under the grounds for exclusion, the customer should contact the repair form specified by the manufacturer or at www.rocket-games.ch or use the support contact. In any case, the return to rocket-games.ch must be agreed in advance with rocket-games.ch (support@rocket-games.ch). Otherwise, rocket-games.ch can claim compensation.

Defective devices will not be picked up. The customer must send the defective device to the designated service point at his own expense and risk or hand it in at the designated location. The devices are to be sent in with all accessories in the original packaging and the sales receipt, stating an identification number for the return of goods (RMA number) assigned by the supplier. If the original packaging is missing, the device must be packed in a transportable manner. Returned devices that do not fall under the warranty period, are sent to the wrong address, whose return has not been agreed and/or whose packaging was defective or where the accessories are missing can be returned by rocket-games.ch. Compensation for expenses can be claimed.

If it is determined that a device sent in is not covered by the guarantee, an estimate of the repair costs to be expected will be created automatically. This will be charged to the customer with a flat fee of CHF 45. If the customer decides in favor of a repair, the flat fee for the cost estimate will not be charged to him. If the customer does not respond to the cost estimate, the device will be disposed of after 4 weeks.

6.3 Warranty Period and Manufacturer's Warranty

The guarantee period can be seen on the delivery note for each item. This is at least 2 years for new devices. Warranty replacement or warranty repair does not extend the original warranty period. The warranty does not restrict the statutory warranty obligation. The guarantee period begins at the time of delivery. If there is a waiting period until delivery, the guarantee period does not yet run. In this respect, the warranty period of several devices ordered at the same time can differ in the case of a partial delivery.

The warranty provisions, in particular the manufacturer's warranty period, are decisive for the items purchased from rocket-games.ch. The customer must assert this directly at the service point designated by the manufacturer. The customer acknowledges that the manufacturer's warranty provisions usually only provide for a right to rectification (repair) or exchange (replacement delivery), provided there are no grounds for exclusion. The customer is not entitled to claims for damages or compensation for administrative expenses.

The decision on how to remedy the defect usually lies with the manufacturer. There is no entitlement to a free replacement device for the duration of the repair or the time until delivery of a replacement device. If the defective device is replaced by the manufacturer, the replacement device will be adjusted to the current value of the defective device. The defective device or the replaced parts become the property of the manufacturer. If a device is repaired or replaced, this does not lead to an extension of the original warranty period. If the manufacturer decides to pay compensation instead of repairing or replacing the device, this will be adjusted to the current value of the defective device. Under no circumstances is the remuneration higher than the purchase price and takes into account that the customer was able to use the device until the defect occurred. If it is determined that the device has no faults or if these are not covered by the guarantee, the return shipment will be at the customer's expense and risk. In addition, an administrative fee may be charged.

​

7. Liability

Claims for damages due to impossibility of performance, breach of contract, culpa in contrahendo and tort are excluded, unless intentional or grossly negligent action is involved.

10.6 More information about sticks

Here is a report about PS5 sticks from hardwareluxx.de

''Since the stick has a total lifetime of 2 million cycles, the durability is around 400 hours - at least if extreme maneuvers and inputs are used for certain games. So while the stated lifespan is just an estimate from iFixit, it could be an indicator that PS5 owners may face more problems in the future. Especially in first-person shooters, the sticks are heavily used.''
