11. Manufacturer's Guarantee
"The manufacturer warrants to the original purchaser who is stated on the guarantee card, the freedom
from defects for the device for a period of two years, with the exception of batteries, as of the point in
time the device is handed over. The guarantee is limited to repairs and / or replacements at manufact-
urer's discretion. Defects which are caused through improper handling by the purchaser or third parties,
natural wear and optical flaws that do not affect the usability of the equipment, are not covered by this
guarantee. Claims under this guarantee can only be invoked if the device is submitted along with the
guarantee card, completely filled out by the dealer, dated and provided with the company stamp.
If the guarantee claim is justified, the manufacturer shall bear the transport costs. The duration of the
guarantee will not be extended through repair or spare parts work which is carried out within the scope
of the guarantee. Further claims are excluded, unless there are provided by the respective national
legislation. In particular the manufacturer shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental or conse-
quential damages, losses or expenses in connection with the use or because of the inability to use the
tool for any purpose whatsoever. Implied warranties for the usage or suitability for a particular purpose
are expressly excluded."
