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.

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
PowrDriver
GB
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.
4. Exclusion of guarantee
Guarantee claims cannot be considered
- for parts that are subject to wear and tear due to use or other
natural wear and tear, as well as defects in the product that
are a result of natural wear and tear, or wear and tear due
to use. This includes in particular cables, valves, packaging,
jets, cylinders, pistons, means-carrying housing components,
filters, pipes, seals, rotors, stators, etc. Damage due to wear
and tear that is caused in particular by sanded coating
materials, such as dispersions, plaster, putty, adhesives, glazes,
quartz foundation.
- in the event of errors in devices that are due to non-
compliance with the operating instructions, unsuitable or
unprofessional use, incorrect assembly and/or commissioning
by the buyer or by a third party, or utilisation other than is
intended, abnormal ambient conditions, unsuitable coating
materials, unsuitable operating conditions, operation with the
incorrect mains voltage supply/frequency, over-operation or
defective servicing or care and/or cleaning.
- for errors in the device that have been caused by using
accessory parts, additional components or spare parts that are
not original Wagner parts.
- for products to which modifications or additions have been
carried out.
- for products where the serial number has been removed or is
illegible
- for products to which attempts at repairs have been carried
out by unauthorised persons.
- for products with slight deviations from the target properties,
which are negligible with regard to the value and usability of
the device.
- for products that have been partially or fully taken apart.
5. Additional regulations.
The above guarantees apply exclusively to products that have been
bought by authorised specialist shops in the EU, CIS, Australia and are
used within the reference country.
If the check shows that the case is not a guarantee case, repairs are
carried out at the expense of the buyer.
The above regulations manage the legal relationship to us
concludingly. Additional claims, in particular for damages and losses
of any type, which occur as a result of the product or its use, are
excluded from the product liability act except with regard to the area
of application.
Claims for liability for defects to the specialist trader remain
unaffected.
German law applies to this guarantee. The contractual language is
German. In the event that the meaning of the German and a foreign
text of this guarantee deviate from one another, the meaning of the
German text has priority.
