Warranty and liability
The ACE Handels- und Entwicklungs GmbH (ACE Instruments)
provides a warranty of two years after purchase for material
and processing errors for the product (see attached warranty
and liability 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 or sensor without sampling
components. Components that are inevitably destroyed upon
effectiveness (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 other-
wise in the accompanying ACE Instruments 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 labeled accordingly. Should the product not fulfill 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 reim-
bursement of the purchasing price for the faulty merchandise.
2. Application restriction
ACE Instruments is by any 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 binding manner to determine one’s capability
to operate vehicles or execute action that could lead to per-
sonal 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
service 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
products, 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
checked 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.
