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 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 which 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 proved costs of the installation
as well as the costs of the removal of the defective product. The refund of
expenses will be limited to gross EUR 110,- ; we reserve the right to check
the described mistake in our works in Bad Segeberg. In case of a proved
reclamation the costs for dispatch for the check in our factory will be
transferred to you.
According to our experience each specific factory which 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 realised
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 works 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 favoured factory.
Costs which 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 been
arisen by additional supply (saved expenses). In this case, there would be no
right for 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.
With best regards
Your Kufatec GmbH & Co. KG Team

Important Information Sound Booster
Please use for the fixation of the Sound Booster suitable high tensile screws.
In order to avoid losening of the screws by vibration please make the screws
safe with appropriate factory material e.g Threadlock. Please additionally
check the stability of the Sound Booster regularly and if necessary retighten
the screws. In case of no consideration we do not assume liability for
possible damages. After successful installation we recommend to cover the
sound generator with a zinc spray. Make sure that you cover the opening of the
sound generator so that no zinc spray can’t get inside the sound generator.
As additional safety the delivered steel cable and the retaining clips have to
be tightened on the Sound Booster as well as at a suitable position in the
car. This safety cable is an additional security should the tightening screws
should be released by vibration.
