Rights in case of defective products

(2) SIA TENNECS will replace the defective product with one that is free of defects or have the faulty one repaired professionally at the expense of SIA TENNECS. The customer is informed that there is no warranty case if the product had the agreed quality at the time of the transfer of risk. A warranty case in particular does not exist in the following cases:

  1. a) in the event of damage caused by misuse, abuse or improper use of the purchased product by the customer,
  1. b) for damage caused by the purchased products being exposed to harmful external influences (in particular extreme temperatures, humidity, unusual physical or electrical stress, voltage fluctuations, lightning, static electricity, fire).

(2) Furthermore, SIA TENNECS does not provide any guarantee for a fault that has arisen as a result of improper repairs by a service partner not authorized by the manufacturer.

(3) If the type of repair or replacement desired by the customer requires an effort which, in view of the product price, taking into account the content of the contract and the requirements of good faith, is grossly disproportionate to the customer's interest in fulfillment - considering in particular the value of the purchased product in a defect-free condition, the significance of the defect and the question of whether another way of fulfilment can be used without significant disadvantages for the customer - the customer's claim is limited to the other type of fulfilment. SIA TENNECS' right to refuse this other type of fulfilment under the aforementioned condition remains unaffected.

(4) Both in the case of repairs and in the case of replacement delivery, the customer is obliged to send the product to the return address specified by the customer at his own expense, stating the order number. Before sending in the customer has to remove objects inserted by him from the product. SIA TENNECS is under no obligation to inspect the product for the incorporation of such items. SIA TENNECS shall not be liable for the loss of such items unless SIA TENNECS was able to readily identify at the time of taking back the product that such an item had been inserted into the product (in which case SIA TENNECS will inform the customer and holds the item ready for the customer to collect; the customer bears the resulting costs). In addition, before sending in a product for repair or replacement, the customer must, if necessary, make separate backup copies of the system software (if applicable) on the product, the applications and all data on a separate data medium and deactivate all passwords.

Likewise, after the repaired product or replacement product has been returned to the customer, it is the customer's responsibility to install the software and data and to reactivate the passwords.

(5) If the customer sends the goods in to get a replacement product, the return of the defective product is based on the following stipulation: 

If the customer was able to use the goods between delivery and return in a defect-free condition, this has the value of the goods diminished to a used product value. The customer must pay compensation for loss or further deterioration of the goods that was not caused by the defect and for the impossibility of handing over the goods that did not occur due to the defect in the period between delivery of the goods and return of the goods. 

The customer does not have to pay any compensation for the deterioration of the goods caused by the intended use of the goods. The obligation to compensate for the value does not apply to the return of a defective product in the following warranty cases:

  1. a) if the defect that entitles to compensation for loss or deterioration only became apparent during the processing or transformation,
  1. b) if SIA TENNECS is responsible for the deterioration or the loss or if the damage would also have occurred at SIA TENNECS,

(6) The customer's obligation to pay damages in the event of a breach of the obligation to return the goods for which the customer is responsible is based on the statutory provisions.

(2) Regardless of whether SIA TENNECS is at fault, SIA TENNECS' liability in the event of fraudulent concealment of a defect or the assumption of a guarantee remains unaffected. The manufacturer's warranty is a guarantee given by the manufacturer and does not constitute an acceptance of any guarantee by SIA TENNECS.

(3) SIA TENNECS is also responsible for the accidental impossibility of delivery that occurs during a delay, unless the damage would have occurred even if delivery had been made on time.

(4) The personal liability of the legal representatives, agents and employees of SIA TENNECS for damage caused by them through slight negligence is excluded.
