{Disarmed} This is the three-year warranty in Spain on all Xiaomi products you buy from now on

Announced by the Government of Spain on April 27, from now on — more specifically from January 1, 2022 — all Xiaomi phones , routers , speakers , scooters , projectors , watches and even toothbrushes that you buy in Spain they have a new guarantee, an extra year than usual.

Xiaomi is quite forceful in this section: "since January 1, 2022, Xiaomi offers a 3-year warranty on all its products ". And what does it consist of? We tell you the details, the legal protection and the benefits for the consumer that they propose.

Three years of legal guarantee, ten years of spare parts

This law brings together two important battles that all users have won. The first, the right to repair , that is, the responsibility of companies to offer replacement options in the interest of an evolution in terms of sustainability, public health and food safety .

The second, the warranty extension, a regulation that can be read in the BOE, in Royal Decree-Law 7/2021 . As you can see within the legal text, it is not a voluntary regulation: "the employer will be responsible for the lack of conformity that exists at the time of delivery or supply and manifests itself within a period of three years from delivery " .

🔸 The #CMin has today approved a modification of the current consumer regulations with which it takes another step in the circular economy strategy.

On the other hand, the non-conformity terms go from 3 to 5 years and from 6 months to 1 (or 2 years, depending on the type of product) to accredit and report the non-conformity . In other words, when a product does not conform to the conditions of use by the consumer, the contract that we "sign" every time we buy something can be "split".

The consumer defense law — specifically articles 114, 115 and 116 — dictates that "The seller is obliged to deliver to the consumer and user products that are in accordance with the contract, responding to him for any lack of conformity that exists in the time of delivery of the product.

Regarding the right to repair products, this regulation establishes that every manufacturer must have components and spare parts for 10 years. An ambitious supply that, some experts already point out, will lead many brands to opt for massive recycling, a decrease in innovation in favor of longer useful lives and an increase in the general cost of technological devices.

But it should be borne in mind that many large companies – and Xiaomi is recognized among them – obtain the bulk of their profits from services, in addition to having developed strategies for recycling stacks . Digital services, applications, video or music files and others will only have a two-year warranty, as before.

Finally, free services can't evade their share of legal responsibility either : As we've already pointed out in our articles on phone spam and blocking it , huge strides have been made in managing unwanted advertising in order to free the consumer user of those eternal lists of information, private but shared.
