Hello everyone,

I ordered our rain shower from an online store, and the plumbing company hired by our developer is kindly installing this rain shower on an hourly basis (63€/h net).

Can the plumbing company actually exclude warranty and guarantee on their work in their offer? I understand that the company cannot provide warranty or guarantee on the material, but shouldn’t the plumbing company provide warranty for the plumbing installation? After all, the hot water pipes for the rain shower are supplied by the company. The installation has already been completed.

The offer included the following passage:

"Work on account
Installation – only the concealed parts – of the rain shower supplied by the builder and 2x shower systems
will be billed directly to the client based on hours worked!
For this work, the company Hozlinger assumes no warranty or guarantee!"


Thank you in advance!

Good luck, Manuel

Well, but what does that actually mean in the event of damage, for example with water damage? Good luck Manuel

I guess it depends on where the water damage occurred.

It sounds like you have a contract with the building company and have agreed on hourly payment for the installation with a subcontractor of the building company (?)

The plumbing company is also handling the remaining installation work in my house. I obtained the other plumbing fixtures from the same company or contractor.

My question is whether the company is still liable if the product was installed incorrectly?
