This guarantee, however, does not include damage incurred during improper usage. Acorkscrew should only be used foropening bottle, while aknife should only be used for cutting; therefore, using it as a chisel or a screwdriver, for example, is considered abnormal and improper usage. The guarantee is in place as soon as the article leaves the workshop: subsequent carriage costs and risks are therefore the responsibility of the customer. All our products on sale are covered by the legal conformity guarantee.
