Warranty and liability
The ACE Handels- und Entwicklungs GmbH (ACE Instruments)
provides a warranty of two years after purchase for material
and processing errors for the product (see attached warranty
and liability declaration) in all versions and designations; and a
warranty of one year for the sensor. This warranty includes the
electronics as well as the casing or sensor without sampling
components. Components that are inevitably destroyed upon
effectiveness (such as fuses) are not part of this warranty. The
warranty is valid from the date of delivery or from the date
of first activation (always the shorter period), if not stated
otherwise in the accompanying ACE Instruments product
literature.
Limitation of warranty and liability
1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
ACE Instruments rejects any further expressly stated or
implied warranty, including the marketability and suitability
for a determined purpose. This warranty especially excludes
calibration. After changing the sensor, calibration is absolutely
necessary. If an exchange of the sensor or a calibration is
required for a product, the user may receive a cost estimate.
Should the user reject the estimate, ACE Instruments will
send the product back unrepaired/not calibrated and the
product will be labeled accordingly. Should the product not
fulfill the warranty, the claim of the buyer and the obligations
of ACE Instruments are limited exclusively to the discretion of
ACE Instruments for exchange, repair of the affected goods
or reimbursement of the purchasing price for the faulty
merchandise.
2. APPLICATION RESTRICTION
ACE Instruments is by any means liable for additional,
incidental or consequential damage such as, among others,
lost profit and downtime that result from selling, producing or
using products that are part of this application restriction. This
is independent of any claims emanating from, for instance,
contracts, negligence or other culpable actions. The product,
which is accompanied by this warranty and liability declaration
(no matter the version or designation), in particular cannot
be used in a legally binding manner to determine one's
capability to operate vehicles or execute action that could
lead to personal injury or injury to others under the influence
of alcohol. The thorough check for damage of all products
upon receipt, calibration suitable for the given use by the
buyer and the proper use, maintenance and service according
to the instructions of the accompanying ACE Instruments
product literature are mandatory prerequisites of this warranty.
Maintenance and service work performed by non-qualified
persons as well as the use of non-approved consumables
or spare parts results in the voiding of this warranty. As for
all technically challenging products, it is a fundamental
25
prerequisite and mandatory for ACE Instruments warranty that
all users of these product are familiar with the properties and
restrictions of the devices as stated in the respective literature.
3. ADVICE RESTRICTION
The buyer is solely responsible and confirms that they have
checked the intended use and suitability of purchased goods
for any purpose. Between the two parties it is expressly agreed
that all technical or other advice given by ACE Instruments
regarding the use of goods or services is free of charge
and made under risk to the buyer exclusively. Therefore no
obligation or liability can result to ACE Instruments from any
recommendation or their consequences.
