In a guarantee case, the buyer may require an appropriate reduction of the price or have the contract
rescinded:
n
if the buyer is entitled to neither repair nor replacement, or
n
if Sputnik has not completed the remedy within a reasonable time, or
n
if Sputnik has not completed the remedy without significant inconvenience to the buyer.
The buyer is not entitled to have the contract rescinded if the lack of conformity is minor.
Especially in the following cases, this guarantee does not apply and any liability of Sputnik
is excluded:
n
unauthorised technical intrusions, modifications, or repairs of the devices by the
buyer himself;
n
use of devices for purposes they are not intended for, incorrect or unreasonable ma-
nipulation, incorrect or unreasonable installation, especially if the installation is
made by non-authorised electricians;
n
influence of foreign substances/bodies or force majeure (lightning strike, overvolt-
age, floods, etc.);
n
transport damage and other damage, which has occurred after the point of time in
which the risk has passed to the buyer, as well as damage caused by incorrect pack-
aging by the buyer.
This guarantee is in accordance with “Directive 1999/44/EC of the European Parliament and of the
Council from 25 May 1999 on certain aspects of the sale of consumer goods and associated guaran-
tees”.
Any legal consumer rights under applicable national legislation within the personal, objective,
or geographic scope of this directive are not affected by the guarantee.
Service and guarantee extensions
Extended services and guarantee services will - as the case may be - be provided according to a
separately concluded agreement.
Limitation of Liability and Warranty

guarantee against Sputnik are excluded. For commercial users, compensatory claims for loss of

the material provisions of the UN-Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG)
apply.
