WARRANTY
ACE Instruments (ACE) provides a warranty of two (2) years after purchase for
material and processing errors for the product (see attached warranty and liability
declaration) in all versions and designations; and a warranty of one (1) year for
the sensor. This warranty includes the electronics as well as the casing or sensor
without sampling components. Components that are inevitably destroyed upon
effectiveness (such as fuses) are not part of this warranty. The warranty is valid from
the date of delivery or from the date of first activation (always the shorter period), if
not stated otherwise in the accompanying ACE product literature.

Limitation of warranty and liability:
1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
ACE REJECTS ANY FURTHER EXPRESSLY STATED OR IMPLIED WARRANTY, INCLU-
DING THE MARKETABILITY AND SUITABILITY FOR A DETERMINED PURPOSE. THIS
WARRANTY ESPECIALLY EXCLUDES CALIBRATION. AFTER CHANGING THE SEN-
SOR, CALIBRATION IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. IF AN EXCHANGE OF THE SEN-
SOR OR A CALIBRATION IS REQUIRED FOR A PRODUCT, THE USER MAY RECEIVE A
COST ESTIMATE. SHOULD THE USER REJECT THE ESTIMATE, ACE WILL SEND THE
PRODUCT BACK UNREPAIRED/UNCALIBRATED AND THE PRODUCT WILL BE LABEL-
LED ACCORDINGLY. SHOULD THE PRODUCT NOT FULFIL THE WARRANTY, THE
CLAIM OF THE BUYER AND THE OBLIGATIONS OF ACE ARE LIMITED EXCLUSIVELY
AND AT THE DISCRETION OF ACE TO AN EXCHANGE OR REPAIR OF THE AFFEC-
TED GOODS OR TO A REIMBURSEMENT OF THE PURCHASING PRICE FOR THE
FAULTY GOODS.
2. APPLICATION RESTRICTION
ACE IS ON NO ACCOUNT LIABLE FOR ADDITIONAL DAMAGES, INCIDENTAL DAMA-
GES OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES SUCH AS, AMONG OTHERS BUT NOT LIMITED
TO, LOST PROFIT AND DOWNTIME THAT RESULT FROM SELLING, PRODUCING OR
USING PRODUCTS, WHICH ARE PART OF THIS APPLICATION RESTRICTION. THIS IS
INDEPENDENT OF ANY CLAIMS, SUCH AS FROM CONTRACTS, NEGLIGENCE OR
OTHER CULPABLE ACTIONS. THE PRODUCT, WHICH IS ACCOMPANIED BY THIS

DESIGNATION, CAN ESPECIALLY NOT BE USED LEGALLY BINDING TO DETERMINE
CAPABILITY TO OPERATE VEHICLES OR TO EXECUTE ACTION THAT COULD

HOL. THE THOROUGH CHECK FOR DAMAGE OF ALL PRODUCTS UPON RECEIPT,
A CALIBRATION SUITABLE FOR THE GIVEN USE BY THE BUYER AND THE PROPER
USE, MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS OF THE
ACCOMPANYING PRODUCT LITERATURE BY ACE ARE MANDATORY PREREQUISITES
FOR THIS WARRANTY. MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE WORK BY NON-QUALIFIED
PERSONS, AS WELL AS USING NON-APPROVED CONSUMABLES OR SPARE PARTS
ARE A MISUSE, AND ALL WARRANTY RIGHT SHALL SEIZE IMMEDIATELY. AS FOR
ALL TECHNICALLY CHALLENGING PRODUCTS, IT IS A FUNDAMENTAL PREREQUI-
SITE AND MANDATORY FOR THE WARRANTY BY ACE THAT ALL USERS OF THIS
PRODUCT ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE PROPERTIES AND RESTRICTIONS OF THE
PRODUCT AS STATED IN THE RESPECTIVE LITERATURE.
