14 Guarantee and warranty
RAUCH equipment is manufactured using modern production methods and with
the greatest care, and is subjected to numerous inspections.
Therefore, RAUCH offers a 12-month warranty under the following conditions:

The warranty period begins on the date of purchase.

The warranty covers material and manufacturing defects. Our liability for
third-party products (hydraulic system, electronics) is limited to the warranty
given by the third-party manufacturers During the warranty period, manufac-
turing and material defects will be rectified free of charge by replacement or
repair of the affected parts. Other rights extending beyond the above, such as
claims for conversion, reduction or replacement for damage that did not occur
in the supplied product are explicitly excluded. Warranty services are provid-
ed by authorised workshops, by RAUCH factory representatives or the facto-
ry.

The following are excluded from coverage by the warranty: natural wear, dirt,
corrosion, and all defects due to improper handing and external causes. The
warranty is rendered void if the owner carries out repairs or modifications to
the original state of the supplied product. Warranty claims are rendered void
if RAUCH original spare parts were not used. Therefore, the directions in the
operating manual must be observed. In all cases of doubt contact our sales
representatives or the factory directly. Warranty claims must be submitted to
the factory within 30 days at the latest after the problem arises. The date of
purchase and the serial number must be indicated. If repairs under the war-
ranty are required, they must be carried out by the authorised workshop only
after consultation with RAUCH or the company's appointed representatives.
The warranty period is not extended by work carried out under warranty.
Transport damage is not a factory defect and is therefore not covered by the
manufacturer's warranty manufacturer.

No claims will be accepted for compensation of damage that does not involve
the single-disc spreader itself. This also means that no liability will be accept-
ed for damage resulting from spreading errors. Unauthorised modifications of
the single-disc spreader may result in consequential damage, for which the
manufacturer will not accept any liability. The manufacturer's liability exclu-
sion will not apply in case of wilful intent or gross negligence by the owner or
a senior employee, and in cases where – according to the product liability law
– there is liability for personal injury or material damage to privately used ob-
jects in the event of defects in the supplied product. It will also not apply in the
event that assured properties are absent, if the purpose of the assured prop-
erties was to protect the purchaser against damage that does not involve the
supplied product itself.
