limitations described below.
The consumer is not entitled to exploit this manufacturer's declaration if the failure in the usability
of the product is due to natural wear, use under competition conditions, incompetent or improper
use (including incorrect installation) or external influences.
This manufacturer's declaration does not affect the consumer's legal or contractual rights regar-
ding defects arising from the purchase contract between the consumer and the vendor (dealer).
Extent of the guarantee
If a claim is made under guarantee, we undertake at our discretion to repair or replace the de-
fective goods. We will not consider supplementary claims, especially for reimbursement of costs
relating to the defect (e.g. installation / removal costs) and compensation for consequent damages
unless they are allowed by statute. This does not affect claims based on legal regulations, espe-
cially according to product liability law.
Guarantee requirements
The purchaser is required to make the guarantee claim in writing, and must enclose original proof
of purchase (e.g. invoice, receipt, delivery note) and this guarantee card. He must send the defec-
tive goods to us at his own cost, using the following address:
The purchaser should state the material defect or manufacturing fault, or the symptoms of the
fault, in as accurate a manner as possible, so that we can check if our guarantee obligation is
applicable.The goods are transported from the consumer to us and from us to the consumer at the
risk of the consumer.
Duration of validity
This declaration only applies to claims made to us during the claim period as stated in this declara-
tion. The claim period is 24 months from the date of purchase of the product by the consumer from
a dealer in the Federal Republic of Germany (date of purchase). If a defect arises after the end of
the claim period, or if the evidence or documents required according to this declaration in order to
make the claim valid are not presented until after this period, then the consumer forfeits any rights
or claims from this declaration.
Limitation by lapse of time
If we do not acknowledge the validity of a claim based on this declaration within the claim period,
all claims based on this declaration are barred by the statute of limitations after six months from
the time of implementation; however, this cannot occur before the end of the claim period.
