manufacturing defects when they are first delivered to the purchaser.
2. In accordance with the conditions outlined here, OPTIMUS S.A. guarantees
its products for two (2) years from the date on which the purchaser acquires the
product. If, within this guarantee period, defects appear which are not due to
factors outlined in section 2, OPTIMUS S.A. shall replace or repair the unit
using equivalent, new or reconstructed replacement parts, as it deems fit. If
replacement parts are applied which improve the unit, OPTIMUS S.A. reserves
the right to charge the client for the additional cost of these components.
3. No guarantee benefits shall be provided other than those cited here.
4. In order to claim the guarantee rights, it shall be an essential requirement to
present the original purchase invoice or the guarantee certificate.
2. GUARANTEE PROVISIONS
1. In the event that the product had to be modified or adapted to comply with
local requirements concerning technical specifications or safety, and if the
country in question is not the country for which the product was originally
designed and manufactured, defects are not considered to be material or
manufacturing defects. Furthermore, the guarantee does not cover the
execution of these modifications or adaptations, regardless of whether or not
they have been carried out correctly.
Nor shall OPTIMUS S.A. be responsible for any costs under this guarantee for
these types of modifications.
2. The guarantee shall not entitle the purchaser to inspection or free
maintenance or repair of the unit, particularly if the defects are due to
inappropriate use. Nor do the guarantee rights cover defects in wearing parts
that become worn as a result of normal wear and tear. Wearing parts are, in
particular, potentiometers, switches/keys, and similar parts.
3.The guarantee does not cover defects in the equipment unit caused by:
•
Abuse or incorrect use of the unit for purposes other than those for which it
is intended, in non-compliance with the service and maintenance
instructions specified in the Manual and/or Technical Instructions for the
unit.
•
Connection or use of the product in a manner that does not correspond to
the technical or safety requirements of the country in which the unit is used.

elimination of computer viruses, the restoration of programmes damaged by
these or the reinstallation of the disk following its deletion.
7. The rights of this guarantee are invalidated if the product has been repaired
or opened by staff unauthorised by OPTIMUS S.A. or by the client himself.
8. If OPTIMUS S.A. were to establish before the client that the damage affecting
the unit does not entitle a claim to be made under the guarantee, the costs of
checking the equipment incurred by OPTIMUS S.A. shall be borne by the client.
9. Products not covered by the guarantee shall only be repaired once payment
has been effected by the client. In the event that the guarantee rights do not
apply, OPTIMUS S.A. shall duly inform the client. If, within a period of 6 weeks
from this communication, no written repair order is received from the client
confirming acceptance of the costs, OPTIMUS S.A. shall return the unit in
question to the client. In this case, the transport and packaging costs shall be
invoiced separately and payment shall be made on delivery. In the event that a
repair order is sent by the client, confirming that he assumes the costs of repair,
the transport and packaging costs shall be invoiced additionally, and also
separately.
10. If the equipment needs to be transferred to the Authorised Service Centre,
transportation shall be effected by the responsible party according to the
guarantee, who will also bear the freight and insurance costs.
11. In the event of a defect, OPTIMUS S.A. guarantees that the repair and/or
replacement of parts so that the unit operates correctly will be made within a
period of no more than 30 days. Nevertheless, OPTIMUS S.A. would like to
clarify that the normal period does not exceed 30 days.
12. All parts or products replaced as part of the guarantee services shall
become the property of OPTIMUS S.A.
