What is the difference between guarantee and warranty?

• Statutory consumer warranty:
  The warranty is regulated by law and protects you if the item has defects when it is handed over. In the first 12 months, it is assumed that the defect already existed at the time of purchase, after which the burden of proof lies with the buyer. The warranty period is usually 24 months.
• Guarantee:
  The guarantee is a voluntary service provided by the manufacturer or seller. It can be freely structured in terms of content and offers additional protection, e.g. in the event of a longer term or damage outside the statutory cover.

Both types of cover are independent of each other.
