manufacturing defects when they are first delivered to the purchaser.

products for two (2) years from the date on which the purchaser acquires the
product. If, within this guarantee period, defects appear which are not due to
factors outlined in section 2, OPTIMUS S.A. shall replace or repair the unit using
equivalent, new or reconstructed replacement parts, as it deems fit. If
replacement parts are applied which improve the unit, OPTIMUS S.A. reserves
the right to charge the client for the additional cost of these components.
3. No guarantee benefits shall be provided other than those cited here.
4. In order to claim the guarantee rights, it shall be an essential requirement to
present the original purchase invoice or the guarantee certificate.
2. GUARANTEE PROVISIONS
1. In the event that the product had to be modified or adapted to comply with local
requirements concerning technical specifications or safety, and if the country in
question is not the country for which the product was originally designed and
manufactured, defects are not considered to be material or manufacturing
defects. Furthermore, the guarantee does not cover the execution of these
modifications or adaptations, regardless of whether or not they have been carried
out correctly.
Nor shall OPTIMUS S.A. be responsible for any costs under this guarantee for
these types of modifications.
2. The guarantee shall not entitle the purchaser to inspection or free maintenance
or repair of the unit, particularly if the defects are due to inappropriate use. Nor do
the guarantee rights cover defects in wearing parts that become worn as a result
of normal wear and tear. Wearing parts are, in particular, potentiometers,
switches/keys, and similar parts.
3. The guarantee does not cover defects in the equipment unit caused by:
Abuse or incorrect use of the unit for purposes other than those for which it
is intended, in non-compliance with the service and maintenance
instructions specified in the Manual and/or Technical Instructions for the
unit.
Connection or use of the product in a manner that does not correspond to

adjustments, or as a result of any alteration or modification of any kind not

this guarantee.

8. The rights of this guarantee are invalidated if the product has been
repaired or opened by staff unauthorised by OPTIMUS S.A. or by the client
himself.
9. If OPTIMUS S.A. were to establish before the purchaser that the damage
affecting the unit does not entitle a claim to be made under the guarantee,
the costs of checking the equipment incurred by OPTIMUS S.A. shall be
borne by the client.
10. Products not covered by the guarantee shall only be repaired once
payment has been effected by the client. In the event that the guarantee
rights do not apply, OPTIMUS S.A. shall duly inform the client. If, within a
period of 6 weeks from this communication, no written repair order is
received from the client confirming acceptance of the costs, OPTIMUS S.A.
shall return the unit in question to the client. In this case, the transport and
packaging costs shall be invoiced separately and payment shall be made on
delivery. In the event that a repair order is sent by the client, confirming that
he assumes the costs of repair, the transport and packaging costs shall be
invoiced additionally, and also separately.
11. If the equipment needs to be transferred to the Authorised Service
Centre, transportation shall be effected by the responsible party according
to the guarantee, who will also bear the freight and insurance costs.
12. In the event of a defect, OPTIMUS S.A. guarantees that the repair
and/or replacement of parts so that the unit operates correctly will be made
within a period of no more than 30 days. Nevertheless, OPTIMUS S.A.
would like to clarify that the normal period does not exceed 30 days.
13. All parts or products replaced as part of the guarantee services shall
become the property of OPTIMUS S.A.
