electrical tools
This occurs in a requirements document for a machine tool, and concerns the guarantee period after installation and acceptance.
"La période de garantie sera de 2 ans. Elle ne pourra commencer que lorsque le moyen aura produit durant trois mois consécutifs avec moins de 20 heures de pannes par mois comme explicitées ci-dessus, lorsque tous les dysfonctionnements éventuels seront soldés et lorsque la documentation sera totalement à jour."
Does it mean specifically that the supplier has paid for the consequences of the dysfonctionnements, or only that the problems have been overcome, without necessarily any payment?

paid off
I think it's referring to the warranty starting at three months after the machine has started functioning and has had less than 20 hours of malfunctioning, and in the event that all problems overcome have been paid off and all documentation is up-to-date.
Hope it helps!
