Хорошее руководство по эксплуатации

Законодательство обязывает продавца передать покупателю, вместе с товаром, руководство по эксплуатации Acer Aspire E1 E1-572G-54204G1TDnrr. Отсутствие инструкции либо неправильная информация, переданная потребителю, составляют основание для рекламации в связи с несоответствием устройства с договором.

Условием остается четкая и понятная форма.

Что такое руководство?
