1 GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 Equipment description

MR991 is a machine intended for beauty operators and designed to improve body and face

appearance.

The MR991 system combines two technologies which can be easily programmed by the operator:

- the MRM (mechanical manipulation with motorised rollers) which carries out an endodermic
massage thanks to the mechanical movement of rollers and the microsuction.

- the CMPS SYSTEM (pulsed magnetic fields with stochastic resonance). Tests show that parts
treated with CMPS have a greater blood supply than usual, thus leading to a greater oxygen
exchange to the tissue and at the same time draining all toxic and unwanted substances
towards the organs of detoxification and excretion. Thanks to its detoxifying action, which drains
the stagnant liquid in the tissue, the CMPS system is ideal to treat lymphoedema and cellulite.

1.2 Definitions and symbols used in the manual

The manual includes some pictures which have been defined and authorised for use on the
equipment according to different purposes:
Manufacturer: the equipment producer who affixes his own distinctive brand on the equipment
(MANTIS s.r.l.).
Operator: the personnel who operate the equipment and have practical knowledge of its
functioning following a training course providing the relevant qualification issued by the
manufacturer. The operator is also in charge of the cleaning and routine maintenance of the
equipment.

Customer: the person being treated or asking for a treatment.
Technical Assistance: the personnel specifically assigned by the manufacturer for emergency

maintenance and repair services on the equipment.
The following symbols are used in the manual:

13 GENERAL WARRANTY TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Pursuant to Legislative Decree 24/2002, the 24-month warranty applies to a product with lack of
conformity, provided that the product has been installed and used correctly, in accordance with its
intended use and with the requirements laid out in this manual.

In case of lack of conformity, MANTIS s.r.l. shall restore the equipment's conformity by

The replacement and/or repair of the parts covered by warranty shall in no case extend the terms
of the warranty. The replaced parts shall become property of Mantis s.r.l., Via Artigianale Croce
13, Castelnovo ne’ Monti (RE), Italy.

No direct or indirect damage claims shall be accepted for the lack of use of the equipment during
its downtime due to malfunction or non-conformity, since the equipment shall be intended as non
essential for the customer's activity. Furthermore, it shall not possible to report any indirect
damage for the failure of the product itself.
The warranty therefore covers exclusively manufacturing defects and non-conformity of the
product. Any component subject to natural wear and tear shall always be excluded from the
Warranty.

The warranty shall not apply in case of tampering, repair and/or alteration carried out by
non-authorised people.
The warranty shall not apply in case of damages caused by accidents, electrical malfunctions on
the power supply line, natural disasters, neglect or inappropriate maintenance.

Claims must be sent exclusively to Mantis s.r.l.
All shipments shall be returned to the Sender, at his/her own expense, in the following cases:

- shipments sent to Mantis s.r.l. COD, which shall not be accepted pursuant to the Warranty
terms;

- shipments which do not include original packages, accessories and manuals;

- shipments received with unsuitable or inappropriate outside package, which have been
damaged during transport.

If the product sent to Mantis s.r.l. has been somehow tampered with or if the labels indicating the
serial number have been removed or damaged, Mantis s.r.l. reserves the right to assess the
validity of the Warranty.

The Customer shall have no right to damages or compensation. Furthermore, any contractual or
non-contractual liability for direct or indirect damages to people and/or objects due to
non-conforming use of the equipment is excluded, in accordance with the provisions contained in
the use and maintenance manual.

In case of disputes, the court having jurisdiction is the Court of Reggio Emilia (Italy).
