Guarantee of Quality & Warranty 

BITalino sensors have three months quality guarantee from the date of purchase. PLUX guarantees 
that the system, sensors and accessories will be free from material or manufacturing defects for the 
mentioned time periods following date of purchase.  
 
If PLUX receives notification of any such defects within the guarantee period, it will repair or substitute 
with the same unit\model, any products with proven defects at no cost to the client. During the repair 
period PLUX promises to provide a temporary replacement under the same specification. Repairs will 

be carried out at PLUX’s premises after the equipment has been received.

 

 

6.3.

 

Warranty Voidance 

Usage of the device that is not in accordance with the handling instructions indicated in the manual, 
or use with accessories other than those manufactured by PLUX will invalidate the warranty of your 
devices. 
 
Be careful when connecting your BITalino devices, sensors and/or accessories to any third party device 
including the usage of the 3rd party connection components that are available for BITalino systems as 

the usage of these components will void the electrical warranty of your BITalino device and sensors 

and, if not indicated otherwise, the warranty of the 3rd party system you’re connecting to the 

device

Check the electrical specifications of both systems you want to connect to prevent any damage of the 
user(s) or the systems. 
 
In the case of warranty voidance, the same applies that we expressly disclaim any liability whatsoever 
for any direct, indirect, consequential, incidental or special damages, including, without limitation, lost 
revenues, lost profits, losses resulting from business interruption or loss of data, regardless of the form 
of action or legal theory under which the liability may be asserted, even if advised of the possibility of 
such damages.
