9.b. Warranty

The warranty is valid for the first buyer only.
If our products are resold during this period, the new owner may have a warranty claim against the reseller, but not against USOVO, Owner Peter Urban.
10. Liability and defects
Customers must submit a written communication of any defects within 10 days of receiving the purchase at their destination of choice. This applies to non-retail customers only for obvious defects. Any such complaints will only be taken into account if the goods are still in the same state they were in at delivery.
We will accept the return of merchandise that we acknowledge to be defective, and we will offer a non-defective replacement. Instead, we can offer compensation for the reduction in value of a defective product. If a repair or a replacement delivery fails, non-retail customers have the right to request a reduction of purchase price or the cancellation of the purchase contract.
Further claims of consequential damages on the part of the buyer are excluded unless they are based on a defect covered by the warranty. The buyer must allow reasonable time and opportunity for the supplier for the correction of faults. If he refuses, then the supplier is exempt from responsibility due to defects.
A return of defective goods is only to be performed with our consent and in the original packaging or equivalent packaging. Freight costs are to be covered by the buyer. A refund will only take place in case of a justified complaint. Our liability, regardless of the legal reason, is limited to intent and gross negligence.
Any technical advice given will be to the best of our knowledge. All specifications and information available concerning suitability and application of our products are non-binding and do not exempt the buyer from performing their own tests and trials.
The buyer is himself responsible for compliance with all laws and regulations regarding the use of the goods. For suitability of the product for specific purposes, we are only liable if it is expressly guaranteed in writing.
The warranty and liability assured by USOVO, Owner Peter Urban are limited to damages that demonstrably occurred as a result of defective material, faulty design or poor execution.
Damage due to natural wear and tear, insufficient maintenance, failure to observe assembly instructions or operating instructions, excessive, unsuitable or incorrect usage, as well as other reasons that USOVO, Owner Peter Urban does not provide for are explicitly excluded.
In no case can the buyer claim compensation for damage not caused to the delivered goods themselves, like for example loss of production, loss of use, loss of orders, lost profit and other direct or indirect damage.
The limitations of liability above do not apply in the case of damage to life, body or health, for defects covered by a guarantee regarding the product's state, or defects concealed with malicious intent.
Liability under product liability law remains unaffected.
Where the liability of USOVO, Owner Peter Urban is excluded or limited, the same is also true of the personal liability of employees, representatives and agents.
