• The significance of the Defect,
• Whether the alternative remedy could be completed without significant inconvenience to the consumer.

NIKITA agrees that all repair or replacement of the Product will occur within a reasonable period and without any major inconvenience for the consumer, taking account of the good’s kind and its fitness for purpose.
