DEFECTS AND CLAIMS FOR COMPENSATION, DISCLAIMER

1.2.1
Except in the case of a further claim, we are only liable for defects to the delivered goods until the risk
has been transferred to the purchaser. Minor deviations between the appearance and workmanship
of the product delivered and the specifications in the contract or minor limitations of usability will be
deemed insignificant.
The warranted condition, endurance and usability of the product are solely subject to the
specifications agreed in writing, in the product specification and/or in this guide. Further verbal
agreements, especially from preliminary talks, advertising and/or in related industrial standards, are
only valid as an integral part of a written contract. Only conditions and specifications specifically
laid down by us are valid. We do not accept conditions or specifications laid down by third parties.
The specifications laid down in this guide are valid. If the customer wishes to use the product for a
purpose other than the intended purpose, he or she is obliged to thoroughly explore the suitability of
the product for this other purpose. We give no warranty and accept no liability for any use other than
that explicitly approved by us in writing.
Any changes made to the product will result in the loss of warranty and all claims and rights will
lapse.
The user is held responsible for the proper use of the ballast. The user guide does not discharge you
from your liability for the proper and safe application, installation and operation of the ballast.
On using this guide, you agree that in no circumstances can or will the manufacturer be held liable for
any personal injuries or damage to property that might result from using the device.
1.2.2
Our warranty for defects is strictly limited to supplementary performance. We will eliminate any
defects or deliver substitute goods at our discretion. Where supplementary performance fails or is
disputed or impossible, the customer has the right to withdraw from the contract. Air-Aqua explicitly

to the carrier and/or the delivery service. If the customer fails to meet the requirement to inspect the
goods and report any defects or damage, this will result in the loss of warranty.
1.2.4
We accept no liability for the improper application, use, maintenance or handling of the product by the
customer or its subsidiaries, or for normal wear and tear. This applies specifically to the consequences

to claims based on the malicious concealment of damage, injury to life, body or health or any other
damage resulting from intent or wanton negligence.

If it becomes apparent during our examination of damage reported by the customer or in the course
of repairing defects that the reported damage or claims were made wantonly or were unwarranted,
we may charge for inspecting and repairing defects. The customer has the right to reject a necessary
repair and to demand the return of the ballast. In general, every inspection of damage is bound to
lump sum compensation if it appears that the customer is responsible for the damage.

supply. Make sure that the device is connected to an ELCB (earth leakage circuit breaker) with an
assigned leakage rating of max. 30 mA (DIN VDE 0100T739). Only operate the device on a correctly
installed power plug.
Keep the power plug and the wiring dry! Install the wiring protected in order to avoid damage.
THE WIRING OR THE POWER PLUG MUST NOT BE CUT. DOING SO WILL IMMEDIATELY
INVALIDATE ALL WARRANTY AND LIABILITY OF THE MANUFACTURER.
Only use wiring, installations, adapters, extension cables and connection cables with grounding-type
plugs with sufficient cable diameter. Do not pull on the wiring of the device or use the wiring to carry
the device! If the wiring is damaged or broken, the device may no longer be used! Take care that the
power plug never falls into water or gets wet. Protect the plug and the wiring from heat, oil, UV light
and sharp corners. The manufacturer is not liable in any way for any damage caused by improper
installation or by the carelessness of the user or installer.
