Important notes on product liability

As a result of an EC regulation being effective as from January 1, 1990, the
manufacturer shall only be liable for his product if all parts come from him or
are released by him, and if the devices are properly mounted and operated.
If the user applies outside accessories and spare parts, the manufacturer´s
liability can fully or partially be inapplicable; in extreme cases usage of the
entire device can be prohibited by the competent authorities (employer´s
liability insurance association and factory inspectorate division).
Only the usage of original WAGNER accessories and spare parts guarantees
that all safety regulations are observed.

3+2 years guarantee for professional finishing

Wagner professional guarantee
(Status 01.02.2009)
1. Scope of guarantee
All Wagner professional colour application devices (hereafter referred to as
products) are carefully inspected, tested and are subject to strict checks under
Wagner quality assurance. Wagner exclusively issues extended guarantees to
commercial or professional users (hereafter referred to as "customer") who
have purchased the product in an authorised specialist shop, and which relate
to the products listed for that customer on the Internet under www.wagner-
group.com/profi-guarantee.
The buyer's claim for liability for defects from the purchase agreement with
the seller as well as statutory rights are not impaired by this guarantee.
We provide a guarantee in that we decide whether to replace or repair
the product or individual parts, or take the device back and reimburse
the purchase price. The costs for materials and working hours are our
responsibility. Replaced products or parts become our property.
2. Guarantee period and registration
The guarantee period amounts to 36 months. For industrial use or equal wear,
such as shift operations in particular, or in the event of rentals it amounts to 12
months.
Systems driven by petrol or air are also guaranteed for a 12 month period.
The guarantee period begins with the day of delivery by the authorised
specialist shop. The date on the original purchase document is authoritative.
For all products bought in authorised specialist shops from 01.02.2009 the
guarantee period is extended to 24 months providing the buyer of these
devices registers in accordance with the following conditions within 4 weeks
of the day of delivery by the authorised specialist shop.
Registration can be completed on the Internet under www.wagner-group.
com/profi-guarantee. The guarantee certificate is valid as confirmation, as
is the original purchase document that carries the date of the purchase.
Registration is only possible if the buyer is in agreement with having the data
being stored that is entered during registration.
When services are carried out under guarantee the guarantee period for the
product is neither extended nor renewed.
Once the guarantee period has expired, claims made against the guarantee or
from the guarantee can no longer be enforced.
3. Handling
If defects can be seen in the materials, processing or performance of the
device during the guarantee period, guarantee claims must be made
immediately, or at the latest within a period of 2 weeks.
The authorised specialist shop that delivered the device is entitled to accept
guarantee claims. Guarantee claims may also be made to the service centres
named in our operating instructions. The product has to be sent without
charge or presented together with the original purchase document that
includes details of the purchase date and the name of the product. In order
to claim for an extension to the guarantee, the guarantee certificate must be
included.
The costs as well as the risk of loss or damage to the product in transit or by
the centre that accepts the guarantee claims or who delivers the repaired
product, are the responsibility of the customer.

by authorised specialist shops in the EU, CIS, Australia and are used within the
reference country.

out at the expense of the buyer.

occur as a result of the product or its use, are excluded from the product
