Due to the nature of its business, Galileo does not offer equipment reservations. However, a customer can acquire a "right of purchase" on the items of interest under the following conditions: make a deposit of 15% of the price of the equipment, which confers a right of preferential acquisition during a period of 90 days F/F. In case of exercising the right to purchase during the period of validity, the amount deposited will be deducted from the final invoice. In case of abandoning the purchase, Galileo will refund 50% of the amount deposited.

Right of Storage: Once the amount of the invoice has been paid, our customers will be entitled to a free storage period of 15 days, during which period our products must be sent. After this time, the storage of shipments may lead to a charge of € 5 per box per month or € 10 per pallet per month.

Instrument reception. Galileo will send the client photographs of the state of the product and its packaging prior to its collection by the transport company. If upon receipt it is observed that the package/s are deteriorated, have some type of blow, breakage or damage that can be detected with the naked eye, please take exterior and interior photos and state this on the carrier's bill of lading. The client must communicate the incident within a maximum period of 24 hours after receipt, providing photographs and a copy of the delivery note. After said period, no claim proceeds.

Product warranty

  • • The warranty period will start to run from the invoice date. 
  • • The repair is free for the client. During the first six months, said gratuity will include the necessary expenses made to correct the lack of conformity of the goods with the contract, especially the shipping costs as well as the costs related to labor and materials. During the second six months, that guarantee will only cover the labor costs. In case of a problem that cannot be repaired or its cost exceeds the sale price, the purchase price will be refunded.

The warranty does not cover problems or damages caused by an error or misuse by the user. Nor is it applicable to equipment sold through auctions. Technical changes and/or manipulation of equipment not previously authorized by Galileo void the warranty.
