WMF combiNation F 8700 Betriebsanleitung Seite 137

We are not liable:
for any components that are subject to a normal wear and tear. This includes but is not
-
limited to gaskets and washers, ribbons, and proportioning devices;
for defects caused by atmospheric influences, deposit of boiler scale, chemical, physical,
-
electro-chemical or electrical influences, unless these defects are attributed to a fault of WMF;
if a water filter is dispensed with, although the on-site water regime requires the use of a
-
water filter, and this results in defects. It is pointed out to the customer in the respective
acknowledgement of order, whether the use of a water filter is required;
for defects resulting from the failure to comply with the instructions relating to the handling,
-
maintenance and attendance of the device (e.g. operating and maintenance instructions of
WMF laid down in the operating manual of the respective percolator type);
for defects resulting from the inappropriate or improper use, from the failure to use WMF
-
genuine spare parts or from the faulty installation by the buyer or a third party, or from a
faulty or negligent handling; and for consequences from modifications or repair works that
were made improperly and without our consent by the buyer or a third party.
Claims for damages by the buyer, irrespective of their legal grounds, particularly on account of
violations of the contractual obligation and on account of tortious acts, shall be excluded.
The above exclusion shall not apply in so far as there is a mandatory liability, e.g. in case of
giving warranties as to quality or durability, pursuant to the German Product Liability Act, in
cases of willful acts, of gross negligence, of fatal injuries, of bodily injuries or injuries to health,
or in case of any violation of substantive obligations from this contract. A reversal of the burden
of proof to the disadvantage of the buyer is not implied by the above regulations.
