18. Subject to the conditions of Clauses 17-22, LYNGSOE warrants that finished Goods will be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use of the Goods in the industry for a period of 12 months from the delivery time as stated in the Order Acknowledgement and that spare parts will be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use of the spare parts in the industry for a period of three months from the delivery time as stated in the Order Acknowledgement.

19. Any warranty claim by Customer based on any defect in finished Goods or spare parts, which defect the Customer discovered or ought to have discovered during the Examination, shall be notified in writing via email to LYNGSOE within 5 business days after the delivery time as stated in the Order Acknowledgement or where the defect could not reasonably have been discovered during the Examination, within 7 business days after manifestation of the defect, failing which the Customer shall be deemed to have accepted the finished Goods or spare parts as non-defective. Warranty claims notified by Customer to LYNGSOE after the expiration of the warranty term stated in Clause 17 are not accepted.

20. Where any valid warranty claim is notified to LYNGSOE in accordance with the terms of Clause 17 and approved by LYNGSOE in writing (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), LYNGSOE shall fulfil its warranty obligations as follows: (i) If Customer can be reasonably expected to be able to repair the defect, if necessary with support from the technical support of LYNGSOE´s Service Department, LYNGSOE may fulfil its warranty obligations by sending the necessary replacement parts to Customer free of charge; (ii) If Customer cannot be reasonably expected to be able to repair the defect, LYNGSOE shall repair or replace the defective finished Goods or spare parts, subject to the Customer assigning to LYNGSOE all property rights to such defective finished Goods or spare parts; replacement Goods or spare parts will be new, equivalent to new or re-conditioned; or (iii) If none of the foregoing remedies are commercially viable in LYNGSOE’s sole judgment, LYNGSOE may opt instead to refund to Customer the net purchase price paid by Customer for the defective finished Goods or spare parts less reasonable depreciation of the value due to use or age, subject to the Customer assigning to LYNGSOE all property rights to such defective finished Goods or spare parts. The Customer shall, within 10 business days of the defective finished Goods or spare part being replaced, enquire at LYNGSOE’s Technical Support and Service department, if the Customer shall return to LYNGSOE replaced defective finished Goods or spare parts or destroy same and may not return such finished Goods or spare parts to LYNGSOE, unless LYNGSOEs Technical Support and Service department has authorized the return in writing. LYNGSOE shall assume all responsibility and expense for freight and freight insurance, unless the warranty claim is not valid in LYNGSOE’s reasonable judgment and Customer shall assume all responsibility and expense for dismantling, removal, re-installation and duties in connection with the foregoing.

21. The warranties contained herein shall not extend to any finished Goods or spare parts from which any serial number has been removed or which have been damaged or rendered defective (a) as a result of wilful or accidental damage, negligence, misuse or abuse; (b) due to water or moisture, lightning, windstorm, abnormal voltage, harmonic distortion, dust, dirt, corrosion or other external causes; (c) by operation outside the specifications contained in the user documentation; (d) by the use of spare parts not manufactured or sold by LYNGSOE or by the connection or integration of other equipment or software not approved by LYNGSOE; (e) by modification, repair or service by anyone other than LYNGSOE, who has not applied for and been approved by LYNGSOE to do such modification, repair or service; (f) due to procedures, deviating from procedures specified by LYNGSOE; or (g) due to failure to store, install, test, commission, maintain, operate or use finished Goods and spare parts in a safe and reasonable manner and in accordance with LYNGSOE’s instructions.

22. None of the warranties contained herein shall apply, unless the total purchase price for the defective finished Goods or spare parts has been paid by the due date for payment.

23. Customer shall have no other remedies in connection with defective finished Goods or spare parts than the rights granted pursuant to Clauses 17-20. Except as set forth in the express warranties contained herein, LYNGSOE makes no conditions, warranties, representations, express or implied, in fact or in law, including, but not limited to, any warranties of satisfactory quality, merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose or any warranties arising out of usage or trade, all of which are expressly excluded to the fullest extent permissible by applicable law.

24. The warranties contained herein apply only to the original purchaser and are not assignable or transferable to any subsequent purchaser or end-user. If goods or services are sold via a partner, the partner must include these GTCS as part of his contract with the Customer. Failing to do so will fall under this clause 23 and the warranties will be rendered moot.

25. To the extent not contrary to applicable mandatory legislation, LYNGSOE shall only be liable for damage to property and for personal injuries caused as a consequence of defects in the finished Goods or spare parts delivered (product liability) to the extent that it is documented that such defect arose due to LYNGSOE’s default or negligent errors or omissions.
