MyFestool Terms of Use
As of: 2022/11/28
I. General Terms and Conditions and Registration
1. MyFestool is an online service offer from Festool GmbH, which offers you various applications.
2. When you register with MyFestool, you will open a user account under which you will receive current product information and be able to use the applications provided by Festool GmbH. By registering with "MyFestool", you are agreeing to these Terms & Conditions of Participation, the Terms and Conditions of Use for the provision of information online free of charge (available www.festoolusa.com/legal-information/terms-and-conditions-of-use) and our data protection provisions (available at www.festoolusa.com/legal-information/data-protection). In the event that these provisions are breached, we are entitled to delete your MyFestool account immediately and without issuing any further warning. The same shall apply if any of your activities are likely to impair the functionality of the Festool websites or the Festool infrastructure.
3. For the registration, we need your forename and surname, your email address and address, and the branch of your company. When you use our additional services within “MyFestool”, additional personal data (e.g. device data for Warranty all-inclusive) are necessary.
4. Registration with MyFestool and opening a user account is free for you. Payment obligations can arise from the use of individual applications, e.g. conclusion of a repair order via our online ordering tool. You accept the associated payment obligation by clicking on the confirmation box provided for this.
5. You can cancel your user account at any time and without giving reasons. To do so, please log into your MyFestool account and in the “My profile” section click on the link delete “MyFestool account”.
6. Festool reserves the right to partially or wholly supplement, amend, or delete these Conditions of Participation and/or individual applications under MyFestool without giving reasons, or without prior information to the user.
II. Applications via MyFestool
1. The option to use the applications offered on MyFestool does not constitute an offer by Festool, but rather only an invitation to make an offer. By clicking on the respective confirmation box, you make an offer to use the particular service. It is only by express acceptance from Festool or the provision of corresponding services that Festool accepts the offer, and it is only through this acceptance that a contract between the user and Festool (or a company associated with Festool) comes into being.
2. Applications that Festool currently offers:
a) Tool Management
- Tool registration for the Warranty all-inclusive incl. invoice upload
- Add tools without warranty
- Delete tools
- Transfer tools without and including warranty
Tools can be transferred from one account to another specifying the part number, serial number and the warranty certificate. The MyFestool account holder, to which the tools were registered to this point, is informed by e-mail about the warranty transfer and has the option to object to this transfer within 30 days. If there are also products without a warranty claim in your MyFestool account, they are also transferred to the new MyFestool account. If you decide to transfer the entire inventory to another account, products without a warranty claim are also added to the other account. - Order placement for repairs and overview (not available in all countries)
- Theft processing (only available in Korea)
- Tool overview
- For invitation management, it is possible to invite other people from the same company to MyFestool, provided that they do not already have a MyFestool account. This means that multiple people can view the tools stored for the company and can use the corresponding services. You should therefore ensure that you add only company tools in the overview. If and to the extent that you also use Festool tools privately, we recommend that you create a private MyFestool account. Also note that you can be removed from the corporate context at any time by any person associated with your company. This also means that your MyFestool account is deleted. You can of course re-register at any time.
d) Participation in competitions
e) Participation in events
