1.1. The warranty promise applies exclusively to goods for which a warranty was stated at the time of purchase („product“)

1.2. If a defect occurs during the warranty period („warranty case“), we will, at our option, either replace the defective product at our expense or repair it free of charge or refund the purchase price. Repairs and/or replacement of defective parts under warranty may be made with functionally equivalent replacement parts. Replaced devices become our property.

1.3. The warranty is not transferable.

1.4. In the event of a warranty claim, we shall collect the goods from the customer. We shall bear the full transport costs insofar as the customer has its registered office within Germany or specifies a shipping address within Germany. Customers with their registered office outside Germany shall bear the transport costs in full themselves.

2. Conditions for claiming and expiry of warranty services

2.1. The warranty applies to all products according to clause 1.1.

2.2. The warranty is directed at both consumers according to § 13 BGB (German Civil Code) and entreprenerus according to § 14 BGB as well as legal entitites under public law or special funds under public law. In this sense, a consumer is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly neither commercial nor self-employed. An entrepreneur is a person who orders and uses the products or services within the scope of his independent, professional or commercial activity.

For this purpose, we will send the customer an RMA form with an RMA number, which must be enclosed with the product. If a repair is not worthwhile, we will send a replacement product or refund the purchase price.

2.7. In case of collection of the product, the customer must prepare the return shipment. For this purpose, the RMA form must be enclosed with the shipment. The product must be packed safely for transport and we must be informed of the dimensions of the product as well as the pick-up address and a local contact person).

a) Improper use of the product or the assembly instructions.

6. Choice of law, place of fulfilment, jurisdiction

6.1. German law applies. In the case of consumers, this choice of law shall only apply to the extent that the protection granted by mandatory provisions of the law of the state of the consumer's habitual residence is not thereby withdrawn (favorability principle).

6.2. The place of fulfilment for all services arising from the business relationship with us and the place of jurisdiction shall be our registered office, insofar as you are not a consumer but a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law. The same shall apply if you do not have a general place of jurisdiction in Germany or the EU or if your place of residence or habitual abode is unknown at the time the action is brought. This shall not affect the right to bring an action before the court at another statutory place of jurisdiction.

6.3. The provisions of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods expressly do not apply.
