Question about Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max

Hoi - according to information: You can send us the defective product or bring it to one of our shops.
For example, if you receive it today and it is defective (does not come out of the box - so it is already defective, which can happen) - i.e. Dead on Arrival -DOA - you have until 18.2.22 to send it in or bring it to a branch...
