9 Warranty
9.1 Guarantee
Sputnik Engineering AG (hereafter: Sputnik) guarantees full function and lack of
defects of its technical devices at the moment of shipment respectively in cases of
sale of devices to natural persons for private use within the EU at the moment of
their delivery to the consumer.
This guarantee applies only in case of malfunctions/defects which have been dis-
covered within fi ve years (for SolarMax 2000S-6000S) after shipment respectively
delivery. The original invoice respectively the delivery receipt serve as proof for
the relevant point of time. In all cases of guarantee, Sputnik must be notifi ed of the
inconformity clearly and in writing within this deadline.
In guarantee cases, the malfunctioning/defective device will be repaired or re-
placed by Sputnik-service personnel within a reasonable time, in either case free of
charge, unless this is impossible or disproportionate.
Replacement or repair shall be deemed to be disproportionate if it imposes costs
on Sputnik which, in comparison with the alternative remedy, are unreasonable,
taking into account:
■
the value the goods would have if there were no lack of conformity,
■
the signifi cance of the lack of conformity, and
■
whether the alternative remedy could be completed without signifi cant inconven-
ience to the buyer.
"Free of charge":
■
The guarantee covers only the costs for labour and materials used by Sputnik
to bring the devices back to full function either in Sputnik's factory or on-site
by Sputnik service personnel. All other costs, especially shipping costs, travel
and hotel expenses for on-site repairs by Sputnik-service personnel as well as
costs of repairs by the buyer himself or other persons are not covered by the
guarantee and go to the expense of the buyer or the distributor, unless other-
wise specifi ed in a written agreement.
■
In case of sale of devices to natural persons for private use within the EU and
Switzerland, shipping costs as well as travel and hotel expenses for on-site
repairs by Sputnik service personnel are also covered by the guarantee. How-
ever, Sputnik covers only the shipping and travel expenses for the distance
between Sputnik and the offi cial Sputnik distributor from which the defective/
malfunctioning device was bought. Furthermore, Sputnik will not cover ship-
ping costs, travel and hotel expenses if the sales point of this offi cial Sputnik
distributor is located in overseas territories of the EU or outside of the EU /
outside of Switzerland.
In any case, Sputnik's guarantee services are only free of charge if Sputnik has
been contacted in advance and has agreed to the services to be provided.
In a guarantee case, the buyer may require an appropriate reduction of the price or
have the contract rescinded:
■
if the buyer is entitled to neither repair nor replacement, or
■
if Sputnik has not completed the remedy within a reasonable time, or
