Warranty and liability
The ACE Handels- und Entwicklungs GmbH (ACE) provides a warranty of two 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 year for the sensor.
This warranty includes the electronics as well as the casing or sensor without sampling

Limitation of warranty and liability
1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
ACE rejects any further expressly stated or implied warranty, including the marketability
and suitability for a determined purpose. This warranty especially excludes calibration. After
changing the sensor, calibration is absolutely necessary. If an exchange of the sensor or a ca-
libration 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/not calibrated and the product will
be labeled accordingly. Should the product not fulfill the warranty, the claim of the buyer and
the obligations of ACE are limited exclusively to the discretion of ACE for exchange, repair of
the affected goods or reimbursement of the purchasing price for the faulty merchandise.
2. APPLICATION RESTRICTION
ACE is by any means liable for additional, incidental or consequential damage such as,
among others, lost profit and downtime that result from selling, producing or using products
that are part of this application restriction. This is independent of any claims emanating
from, for instance, contracts, negligence or other culpable actions. The product, which is
accompanied by this warranty and liability declaration (no matter the version or designation),
in particular cannot be used in a legally binding manner to determine one's capability to
operate vehicles or execute action that could lead to personal injury or injury to others under
the influence of alcohol. The thorough check for damage of all products upon receipt, cali-
bration suitable for the given use by the buyer and the proper use, maintenance and service
according to the instructions of the accompanying ACE product literature are mandatory
prerequisites of this warranty. Maintenance and service work performed by non-qualified per-
sons as well as the use of non-approved consumables or spare parts results in the voiding of
this warranty. As for all technically challenging products, it is a fundamental prerequisite and
mandatory for ACE warranty that all users of these product are familiar with the properties
and restrictions of the devices as stated in the respective literature.
3. ADVICE RESTRICTION
The buyer is solely responsible and confirms that they have checked the intended use and
suitability of purchased goods for any purpose. Between the two parties it is expressly agreed
that all technical or other advice given by ACE regarding the use of goods or services is free
of charge and made under risk to the buyer exclusively. Therefore, no obligation or liability
can result to ACE from any recommendation or their consequences.
