Chapter 7 Warranty and liability
- 59 -
The manufacturer warrants that the product supplied is free of material and
manufacturing defects and undertakes the obligation to repair or replace any
defective parts at zero cost.
The warranty period is
12 months
from delivery resp. invoice date.
Consumables and damage caused by improper handling, poor installation or
incorrect use are excluded from this clause
With the exclusion of the further claims, the supplier is liable for defects
including the lack of assured properties as follows: all those parts that, within
the warranty period calculated from the day of the transfer of risk, can be
demonstrated to have become unusable or that can only be used with
significant limitations due to a situation present prior to the transfer of risk, in
particular due to incorrect design, poor materials or inadequate finish will be
improved or replaced, at the supplier's discretion. The identification of such
defects must be notified to the supplier in writing without delay, however at the
latest 7 days after the identification of the fault. If the customer fails to notify
the supplier, the product is considered approved despite the defect. Further
liability for any direct or indirect damages is not accepted.
If instrument-specific maintenance and servicing work defined by the supplier
is to be performed within the warranty period by the customer (maintenance)
or by the supplier (servicing) and these requirements are not met, claims for
damages due to the failure to comply with the requirements are rendered void.
Any further claims, in particular claims for consequential damages cannot be
made.
Consumables and damage caused by improper handling, poor installation or
incorrect use are excluded from this clause..
