12. Warranty and liability
Under the general terms and conditions of business, ecom instruments GmbH offers
a two-year warranty for function and materials on this product when used under the
specified operating and maintenance conditions. Batteries, LED/Lamps and working
parts are considered consumable parts and are not covered under the warranty.
In addition to the standard 2 years manufacturer’s warranty, ecom instruments GmbH
offers an optional lifetime warranty on the torch housing. This warranty includes dama-
ge which is incurred only when the device is properly used. Damage to the front disc
is not included, neither is damage in the form of cosmetic and superficial scratches to
the housing or to the ‘Ex-certification’ and other text contained on the housing.
After the 2 years standard warranty period, in the event that the housing has to be
changed, this optional lifetime warranty does not include any costs that may be
incurred for inspection, packing and carriage etc. This warranty is only limited by the
future availability of spare parts. This warranty is invalidated if the torch head unit
has been opened / tampered with in any way or if the sealing is damaged.
This warranty does not extend to products that have been used improperly, altered,
neglected, damaged by accident or subjected to abnormal operating conditions
or improper handling. In the event of a warranty claim, the faulty device should be
returned to ecom instruments GmbH. We reserve the right to readjust, repair or
replace the unit.
The above warranty terms represent the sole rights of the purchaser to compensation
and apply exclusively and in place of all other contractual or statutory warranty obli-
gations. ecom instruments GmbH does not accept liability for specific, direct, indirect,
incidental or consequential damages or losses, regardless of whether they are caused
by breach of warranty, lawful or unlawful actions, actions in good faith or other actions.
If in certain countries the restriction of statutory warranty and the exclusion or re-
striction of incidental or consequential damages is unlawful, then it may be possible
that the above restrictions and exclusions do not apply for all purchasers. If any
clause in these warranty terms should be found to be invalid or unenforceable by a
competent court, then such a judgement shall not affect the validity or enforceability
of any other clause contained in these warranty terms.
