Liability Exclusion
Dear Customer
Our cable sets are developed according to the connection- and circuit diagrams
of the corresponding car manufacturer. Before the original production, the
cable sets will be tested on an original car. Therefore, the integration into
the car electronics will be executed according to the instructions of the
manufacturer. Regarding the necessary pre-understanding and the accuracy of
the presentation of texts and pictures, our mounting guidelines correspond to
the usual ones for in-car technology and car electronics. Practically, they
have been proved one’s worth a hundred times. However, should there be any
difficulties during the installation of our products we will be at your disposal
any time for support by phone or by mail. Moreover, we offer you to execute the
installation at our works in Bad Segeberg.
Costs that may arise because a third person will execute the installation of our products will not be supported by us in any case. Only if there is a mistake caused by our product we will pay the proven costs of the installation as well as the costs of the removal of the defective product. The refund of expenses will be limited to a gross EUR 110,- ; we reserve the right to check the described mistake in our works in Bad Segeberg. In case of a proven reclamation, the costs for dispatch for the check-in our factory will be transferred to you. According to our experience, each specific factory that has the necessary diagnostic device, diagnostic software and the circuit diagrams of the manufacturer can find possible mistakes at our products within a short time. So the installation and removal including diagnostic inspection can be realized in at most 60 minutes.
We also made the experience that many specific factories cannot work with the circuit diagrams of the manufacturer and that they cannot read usual wiring diagrams. Therefore, very easy installation work will take many hours. You will understand that we neither take the risk to find a reliable specific factory nor the financing of the training of the staff of your favored factory.
Costs that will arise because you buy missing parts or spare parts at other
suppliers will be refunded by us up to the amount of the costs which had
arisen by additional supply (saved expenses). In this case, there would be no
right for a refund according to the legal guarantee right as long as we have
no deadline for supplementary performance or a deadline for supplementary
performance has not expired. So if you have any problems with the installation
or operation of one of our products please call us, send us an email, send us
the product or take your car to our factory in Bad Segeberg. We are sure to
find an appropriate solution for each concern.
