8. Warranty

General

This product is manufactured by Lab.gruppen, and it is warranted to be free from any defects caused by 
components or factory workmanship, under normal use and service, for a period of six (6) years from date of 
purchase from an authorized Lab.gruppen dealer.

If the product fails to perform as specified during the warranty period, Lab.gruppen will undertake to repair, or 
at its option, replace this product at no charge to its owner, provided the unit is returned undamaged, shipping 
prepaid, to an authorized service facility or to the factory.

This warranty shall be null and void if the product is subjected to: repair work or alteration by a person other 
than those authorized by us; mechanical damage including shipping accidents; war, civil insurrection, misuse, 
abuse, operation with incorrect AC  voltage; incorrect connections or accessories; operation with faulty as-
sociated equipment; or exposure to inclement weather conditions. Damage due to normal wear and tear is not 
covered by the warranty. Units on which the serial number has been removed or defaced will not be eligible for 
warranty service.

Lab.gruppen shall not be responsible for any incidental or consequential damages. Lab.gruppen’s responsibil-
ity is limited to the product itself. Lab.gruppen takes no responsibility for any loss due to cancellation of any 
events, or rent of replacement equipment or costs due to a third party’s or customer’s loss of profit, or any 
other indirect cost or losses however incurred.

Lab.gruppen reserves the right to make changes or improvements in design or manufacturing without assum-
ing any obligation to change or improve products previously manufactured.

This warranty is exclusive, and no other warranty is expressed or implied. This warranty does not affect the 
customer’s statutory rights.
