(I) Warranty
We provide a guarantee for two years from delivery of the goods to the
purchaser. Complaints concerning incomplete or incorrect deliveries or claims
concerning discernible deficiencies shall be notified in writing immediately upon
receipt of the goods and other deficiencies notified in writing immediately upon
discovery. The purchaser shall preserve right of recourse against third parties
(e.g. statement of facts in the case of transport damage). Processing or resale
and/or combination or mixing constitutes unreserved approval. In the event of
prompt notice of defects, we will accept liability within the scope of the following
conditions. Our liability for deficiencies (guarantee) covers freedom from
deficiency of the goods according to the state of the art. Changes to the design or
construction which we undertake prior to delivery against an order give no
entitlement to a claim. To the extent that we have claims under guarantee
against our suppliers, our guarantee is provided by assigning these claims to the
purchaser, who herein already accepts this assignment in such a case in advance.
If guarantee by the supplier is out of the question or if the supplier refuses to
provide a guarantee in respect of the purchaser, our guarantee is limited to
subsequent compliance, i.e. provision of spare parts or repairs at our discretion.
The purchaser shall return the deficient goods or exchanged parts to us. If
subsequent compliance is unsuccessful or if we are unable to provide
compliance, the purchaser is entitled to withdraw from the contract or to reduce
the purchase price. All above restrictions in liability do not apply to the purchase
of consumable goods. Claims by the purchaser to reimbursement of costs
incurred within the scope of pursuing claims under guarantee against suppliers is
in any case excluded if any cost‐incurring actions, in particular the institution of
legal proceedings, are not agreed with us in advance.
Independently of the above guarantee, we as the manufacturer also offer the
purchaser a warranty in accordance with the regulations below:
The warranty covers all deficiencies which can be traced back to material or
manufacturing defects; it lasts for a period of 24 months from delivery of the
goods and entitles us to perform repairs or deliver a new item at our discretion.
