We shall not be obligated to repair or replace the robot, or any part thereof,
if we reasonably believe that these actions have been necessitated in whole
or in part by: normal wear and tear, accidental damage, fault or negligence
on the part of anyone interacting with the robot, misuse or abuse of any
kind, electrical fault external to the robot, interfacing with or modification to
any part of the robot where not performed by one of our own engineers
other than as expressly indicated in the documentation, Act of God.
Repaired or replaced parts, or robots, will remain warrantied until the expiry
date of the original warranty (i.e. until one year from the date of original
shipping).
Depending on where the robot is supplied, local regulations may confer on
you other consumer rights. We will meet the requirements of any such
regulation as required by local legislation.
Disposal
The robot will eventually reach the end of its working life, and will need to be
disposed of. Please help us to manage our impact on the environment by taking
the responsibility of correct disposal seriously.
The “crossed-out wheeled bin” icon, alongside, is attached to this
product to indicate that the robot is “Electrical and electronic
equipment” (EEE). Since 2002, it has been mandated by the WEEE
(Waste EEE) directive of the European Union that end users dispose
of WEEE separately.
EEE contains components and materials that can be recycled or reused and
therefore should not be disposed of in household waste. For starters, there’s a
perfectly good Raspberry Pi in there—don’t bin that, use it for another project! And
the NiMH battery pack may run out of strength after many uses, but the material it
is made of can be recycled very effectively. Your local waste management
facilities will be able and willing to receive any parts of the robot that you do not
reuse yourself—please follow their recommended procedures for EEE.
As an alternative to your local waste facilities, we will gladly receive the robot for
recycling at any of our sites and we will make no charge for this service.
Correct disposal of the robot will benefit your environment and your economy—
incorrect disposal may harm both. The raw materials from which the robot is built
are valuable to our society, and letting them go to waste is undesirable. It has
been estimated that correct disposal can lead to as much as 90% of the material
