Extension of the Limited Warranty 

Gonotec warrants the end user that Gonotec products shall be 

free from manufacturing and material defects for the above 

periods of validity from the purchase date. The end user must 

provide proof of the purchase date. 

For software products, Gonotec’s limited warranty applies only 

to the non-execution of programming instructions. Gonotec 

does not guarantee that the operation of a product will proceed 

without errors or interruptions. 

Gonotec’s limited warranty applies only to defects that arise 

during normal operation of the product. It does not apply under 

the following conditions: 

Inadequate servicing or improper modification; 

Use of software, interfaces, print media or accessories not 

supported or supplied by Gonotec; or

specifications. 

If Gonotec is notified within the warranty period of a defect in a 

software product, in media or in the pressure transducer and if 

the Gonotec warranty applies to the defect, Gonotec shall 

replace the defective product. If Gonotec is notified within the 

warranty period of a defect in a hardware product and if the 

Gonotec warranty applies to the defect, Gonotec shall repair or 

replace the defective product at its discretion. 

If Gonotec is unable to repair or replace a defective product to 

which the Gonotec warranty applies, Gonotec shall refund the 

purchase price of the product within a reasonable period 

following notification of the respective defect. 

Gonotec is not obligated to repair or replace a product or 

refund its purchase price until the customer returns the defec-

tive product 

to Gonotec. 

Replacement products may be new or almost new, as long as 

their functionality is at least that of the replaced product. 

The Gonotec limited warranty is applicable in all countries in 

which Gonotec sells the applicable product. The following 

countries and regions are exceptions: All countries outside the

in which the product was purchased. Contracts for additional 

warranty services, such as on-site service, may be available 

from an authorized Gonotec sales partner.
