Warranty and Liability
ACE Handels- und Entwicklungs GmbH (ACE Instruments) provi-
des a warranty of two years after purchase for material and pro-
cessing errors of the product (see attached warranty and liabi-
lity declaration) in all versions and designations; and a warranty
of one year for the sensor. This warranty includes the electronics
as well as the casing and sensor without sampling components.
Components that inevitably degrade over time (such as fuses)
are not part of this warranty. The warranty is valid from the date
of delivery or from the date of first activation (always the shorter
period), if not stated otherwise in the accompanying ACE Instru-
ments product literature.
Limitation of Warranty and Liability
1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
ACE Instruments rejects any further expressly stated or implied
warranty, including the marketability and suitability for a deter-
mined purpose. This warranty especially excludes calibration.
After changing the sensor, calibration is absolutely necessary.
If an exchange of the sensor or a calibration is required for a
product, the user may receive a cost estimate. Should the user
reject the estimate, ACE Instruments will send the product
back unrepaired/not calibrated and the product will be labelled
accordingly. Should the product not fulfil the warranty, the claim
of the buyer and the obligations of ACE Instruments are limited
exclusively to the discretion of ACE Instruments for exchange,
repair of the affected goods or reimbursement of the purcha-
sing price for the faulty merchandise.
2. APPLICATION RESTRICTION
ACE Instruments is by no means liable for additional, incidental
or consequential damage such as, among others, lost profit and
downtime that result from selling, producing or using products
that are part of this application restriction. This is independent of
any claims emanating from, for instance, contracts, negligence
or other culpable actions. The product, which is accompanied
by this warranty and liability declaration (no matter the version
or designation), in particular cannot be used in a legally bin-
ding manner to determine one’s capability to operate vehicles
or execute action that could lead to personal injury or injury to
others under the influence of alcohol.
The thorough check for damage of all products upon receipt,
calibration suitable for the given use by the buyer and the pro-
per use, maintenance and service according to the instructions
of the accompanying ACE Instruments product literature are
mandatory prerequisites of this warranty. Maintenance and ser-
vice work performed by non-qualified persons as well as the
use of non-approved consumables or spare parts results in the
voiding of this warranty. As for all technically challenging pro-
ducts, it is a fundamental prerequisite and mandatory for ACE
Instruments warranty that all users of these product are familiar
with the properties and restrictions of the devices as stated in
the respective literature.
3. ADVICE RESTRICTION
The buyer is solely responsible and confirms that they have che-
cked the intended use and suitability of purchased goods for
any purpose. Between the two parties it is expressly agreed that
all technical or other advice given by ACE Instruments regarding
the use of goods or services is free of charge and made under
risk to the buyer exclusively. Therefore, no obligation or liability
can result to ACE Instruments from any recommendation or their
consequences.
