Limitations of Siemens Original Warranty
Siemens warrants to all customers that service will be performed in a
professional manner consistent with the industry. If the instrument is
not performing according to its specifications, Siemens will, at its
option, repair or replace the instrument. This is the customer’s sole and
exclusive remedy for breach of warranty.
Other than as stated above, there are no other warranties, express or
implied, accompanying either the leasing of the equipment or its sale to
the customer at the expiration or termination of this agreement. In
addition, the warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular
purpose are disclaimed. In addition, Siemens shall not be liable for any
damages caused by delay in providing repair service from any cause.
Siemens liability for breach of this warranty shall be limited to the
repair or replacement of defective equipment and shall not include any
incidental, contingent, or consequential damages.
