WARRANTY AND LIABILITY
ACE Handels- und Entwicklungs GmbH (ACE Instruments) provides a warranty
of two years after purchase for material and processing errors of 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 and sensor without sampling components. Components that inevitably
degrade over time (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 labelled
accordingly. Should the product not fulfil the warranty, the claim of the buyer and the
obligations of ACE Instruments are limited exclusively to the discretion of ACE Instru-
ments for exchange, repair of the affected goods or reimbursement of the purchasing
price for the faulty merchandise.
2. APPLICATION RESTRICTION
ACE Instruments is by no means liable for additional, incidental or consequential da-
mage such as, among others, lost profit and downtime that result from selling, produ-
cing 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 bin-
ding 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.
15
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 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 regar-
ding 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.
