Guarantee and Compensation 

Barco provides a guarantee relating to perfect manufacturing as part of the legally stipulated terms of guarantee. 
On receipt, the purchaser must immediately inspect all delivered goods for damage incurred during transport, as 
well as for material and manufacturing faults. Barco must be informed immediately in writing of any complaints. 

The period of guarantee begins on the date of transfer of risks, in the case of special systems and software on 
the date of commissioning, at the latest 30 days after the transfer of risks. In the event of justified notice of 
complaint, Barco can repair the fault or provide a replacement at its own discretion within an appropriate period. 
If this measure proves to be impossible or unsuccessful, the purchaser can demand a reduction in the purchase 
price or cancellation of the contract (redhibition). All other claims, in particular those relating to compensation for 
direct or indirect damage, and also damage attributed to the operation of software as well as to other services 
provided by Barco, being a component of the system or independent services, will be deemed invalid provided 
the damage is not proven to be attributed to the absence of properties guaranteed in writing or due to the intent 
or gross negligence on the part of Barco. 

If the purchaser or a third party carries out modifications or repairs on good delivered by Barco, or if the goods 
are handled incorrectly, in particular if the systems are commissioned or operated incorrectly or if, after the 
transfer of risks, the goods are subject to influences not agreed upon in the contract, all guarantee claims of the 
purchaser will be rendered invalid. Not included in the guarantee coverage are system failures which are attrib-
uted to programs or special electronic circuitry provided by the purchaser, e. g. interfaces. Normal wear as well 
as normal maintenance are not subject to the guarantee provided by Barco either. 

The environmental conditions as well as the servicing and maintenance regulations specified in this manual must 
be complied with by the customer.
