Subject matter and scope of the warranty
The warranty applies to all aponorm
®
blood pres-
sure monitors which customers in their capacity as
consumers purchased in Germany. WEPA Apothe-
kenbedarf GmbH & Co. KG warrants the customer
that the product is free from defects in material
and workmanship. Should, despite proper handling
of the product, a defect occur within the 5-year
warranty period, WEPA Apothekenbedarf GmbH
& Co. KG will repair the product free of charge
(except for the transport costs for returning the mo-
nitor to WEPA) or fully replace it at its discretion.
Exclusion of warranty
No claims can be derived from this warranty in case
of damage caused by the customer’s or third par-
ties’ negligence such as drop, accident or improper
handling. The same applies to damage caused by
leaking batteries or failure to observe the operating
instructions.
Warranty by WEPA Apothekenbedarf GmbH & Co.
KG is also excluded if a defect/damage was caused
by improper repair or other third party interventions.
The warranty does not cover wear parts, accessories
(e.g. pouches, cables, etc.), batteries and the cuff
forming part of the product. We grant a functional
guarantee of 2 years on the cuff (tightness of the
inner chamber).
Warranty term
The warranty covers a period of 5 years from the
date of purchase (warranty period). The relevant
proof is the date of the proof of purchase or of the
warranty card with purchase date filled in by the
distributor.
The warranty period is not extended by the fact
that benefits under this warranty were granted, in
particular not in the event of a repair or exchange
of the product. In such cases, the warranty does
not recommence.
Assertion of warranty claims
Within the warranty period, the customer can
claim his/her rights under this warranty by present-
ing the faulty product and the proof of purchase or
the warranty card filled in by the distributor directly
to WEPA Apothekenbedarf GmbH & Co. KG or the
distributor where the customer had purchased the
product.
If the fault/damage is covered by the warranty,
WEPA Apothekenbedarf GmbH & Co. KG will repair
the product free of charge (except for the transport
costs for returning the monitor to WEPA) or fully
replace it at its discretion.
If it is found that the fault/damage is not covered by
the warranty, the product can be repaired by WEPA
Appthekenbedarf GmbH & Co. KG at the customer’s
expenses. In this case, WEPA Apothekenbedarf
