10.1 Disposing of waste electrical and electronic devices
The WEEE Directive 2002/96/EC and the recast WEEE Directive
2012/19/EU govern the handling of waste electrical and electronic
equipment. Not all products fall under these directives, however for
environmental reasons and for simplicity, we treat all electronic
waste in accordance with them. By adhering to the directives, we
ensure that all of our electronic waste is disposed of correctly and
in an environmentally friendly manner.
In order to protect the environment and to ensure that electronic
waste is disposed of correctly, Baumer hhs accepts voluntarily and
at its discretion
electronic and electrical waste devices
for dis-
posal under the following conditions:
n
The customer delivers the waste devices to Baumer hhs with
any shipping charges pre-paid. Baumer hhs does not accept
any costs for shipping and packaging.
n
The delivery note must show that the waste device is to remain
with Baumer hhs for scrapping.
n
The customer shall receive no compensation for the scrap.
n
The waste device is free from all liquids.
Otherwise, the Baumer hhs GmbH terms and conditions (GTC)
shall apply unrestricted (extract):
Disposal of electronic waste devices
n
The operator assumes the responsibility for disposing of the
goods provided once they are taken out of use, at their own
cost and in accordance with the legal regulations.
n
The operator releases the supplier from the obligations and the
associated requirements of a third party in accordance with §
10 Para. 2 of the German Electrical and Electronic Equipment
Act (ElektroG) (manufacturers' obligation to accept returned
devices).
n
Should the operator pass the goods to a commercial third
party, the operator must ensure by way of a contract that the
third party will dispose of the goods at their own cost and in
accordance with the legal regulations once they are taken out
of use, and that this obligation is passed on to the new owner
should the goods be passed on again.
n
Should the operator fail to contractually oblige the third party to
whom he has passed the goods to assume the responsibility
for disposal and to pass on this obligation, the operator is
obliged to take the goods back at his own cost once they are
taken out of use, and to dispose of them in accordance with the
legal regulations.
n
The supplier's entitlement to the assumption of/release from its
obligations by the operator does not lapse until at least two
years after the device is finally taken out of service. The two
year statute of limitations begins at the time the manufacturer
receives notification in writing from the operator that the device
has been taken out of service, at the earliest.
