Allgemeine Gewährleistung

Anstelle der gesetzlichen Gewährleistungsfrist von 2 Jahren übernehmen wir für dieses Gerät (aus­genommen Verbrauchsmaterialien wie z.B. Lampen, Tips und Batterien) eine Garantie von 5 Jahren
ab Warenauslieferung ab Werk.
Diese Garantie gilt für einwandfreies Arbeiten bei bestimmungsgemäßer Verwendung und
Beachtung der Gebrauchsanweisung. Während der Dauer der Gewährleistung und Garantie
werden auftretende Fehler und Mängel am Gerät kostenlos beseitigt, soweit sie nachweislich auf
Material-, Verarbeitungs- und/oder Konstruktionsfehlern beruhen. Rügt ein Besteller während der
Gewährleistung einen Sachmangel, so trägt er stets die Beweislast dafür, dass das Produkt bereits
bei Erhalt der Ware mangelhaft war. Diese gesetzliche Gewährleistung und die Garantie beziehen
sich nicht auf solche Schäden, die durch Abnutzung, fahrlässigen Gebrauch, Verwendung von nicht
original HEINE Teilen / Ersatzteilen (insbesondere Lampen, da diese speziell für HEINE Instrumente
nach folgenden Kriterien entwickelt wurden: Farbtemperatur, Lebensdauer, Sicherheit, optische
Qualität und Leistung), durch Eingriffe nicht von HEINE autorisierter Personen entstehen oder
wenn Vorschriften in der Gebrauchsanweisung vom Kunden nicht eingehalten werden. Jegliche
Modifikation der HEINE Geräte mit Teilen oder zusätzlich angebrachten Teilen, die nicht der HEINE
Originalspezifikation entsprechen, führt zu einer Erlöschung der Gewährleistung auf die einwand­freie Funktion der Geräte und damit der Garantieanspruch wegen Mängel, soweit dies auf die
Veränderung oder Ergänzung zurückzuführen ist. Weitere Ansprüche, insbesondere Ansprüche auf
Ersatz von Schäden, die nicht am HEINE Produkt selbst entstanden sind, sind ausgeschlossen.
Bei Reparaturen wenden Sie sich bitte an Ihren Fachhändler, der das Gerät an uns oder unsere
zuständige Vertretung weiterleitet.

Warranty

Instead of the usual 2-year guarantee, we guarantee this device for 5 years from the date of delivery
from our factory (this excludes consumables such as bulbs, tips and batteries).
We guarantee the proper function of the unit provided it is used as intended by the manufacturer and
according to the instructions for use. Any faults or defects which occur during the guarantee period
will be repaired free of charge provided they are caused by faults in material, design or workmanship.
In the case of a complaint of a defect in the product during the guarantee period, the buyer must
prove that any such defect was present at the time the product was delivered. The usual legal gua­rantee and warranty do not apply to incorrect use, the use of non-original HEINE parts or accessories.
(Especially bulbs, as these are designed with emphasis on the following criteria: Color temperature,
life expectancy, safety, optical quality and performance.) Also excluded are repairs or modifications
made by persons not authorised by HEINE or cases where the customer does not follow the instruc­tions supplied with the product. Any modification of a HEINE product with parts or additional parts
which do not conform to the original HEINE specification will invalidate the warranty for the correct
function of the product and further invalidate any warranty claims which result from such a change
or modification. Further claims, in particular claims for damage not directly related to the HEINE
product, are excluded.
For repairs, please contact your supplier, who will return the goods to us or our authorized agent.
