14 Warranty
Sputnik Engineering AG (hereafter: Sputnik) guarantees full function and lack of defects of its tech-
nical devices for a guarantee period specifcally defned for each type of device. This guarantee
period starts to run at the moment the goods leave Sputniks factory. Exceptionally, in case of sale
of goods to natural persons for non-commercial / private purposes, the guarantee period starts to
run only from the time of delivery to the end-Buyer.
Duration of guarantee:
n two years for all central inverters and accessories;
n five years for all string inverters.
In case a different guarantee period is defned in the devices data sheet, the content of the data
sheet precedes these GCBD.
This guarantee applies only in case of malfunctions/defects which have been discovered and noti-
fed to Sputnik within the guarantee period. The original invoice respectively the delivery receipt
serve as proof for the relevant point of time. In all cases of guarantee, Sputnik must be notifed of
the inconformity clearly and in writing within the guarantee period.
In guarantee cases, the malfunctioning/defective device will be repaired or replaced by Sputnik-
service personnel within a reasonable time, in either case free of charge, unless this is impossible
or disproportionate.
Replacement or repair shall be deemed to be disproportionate if it imposes costs on Sputnik which,
in comparison with the alternative remedy, are unreasonable, taking into account:
n the value the goods would have if there were no lack of conformity,
n the significance of the lack of conformity, and
n whether the alternative remedy could be completed without significant inconvenience to the
buyer.
Free of charge:
n The guarantee covers only the costs for labor and materials used by Sputnik to bring the
devices back to full function either in Sputniks factory or on-site by Sputnik-service person-
nel. All other costs, especially shipping costs, travel and hotel expenses for on-site repairs by
Sputnik-service personnel as well as costs of repairs by the buyer himself or other persons
are not covered by the guarantee and go to the expense of the buyer or the distributor, unless
otherwise specified in a written agreement.
n In case of sale of devices to natural persons for non-commercial / private purposes within the
EU and Switzerland, shipping costs as well as travel and hotel expenses for on-site repairs by
Sputnik-service personnel are also covered by the guarantee. However, Sputnik covers only
the shipping and travel expenses for the distance between Sputnik and the official Sputnik
distributor, from which the defective/malfunctioning device was bought. Furthermore, Sput-
nik will not cover shipping costs, travel and hotel expense if the sales point of this official
Sputnik distributor is located in overseas territories of the EU or outside of the EU / outside of
Switzerland.
109
In any case, guarantee-services of Sputnik are only free of charge if Sputnik has been contacted in
advance and has agreed to the services to be provided.
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 unauthorized technical intrusions, modifications or repairs of the devices by the buy-
er 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-authorized electricians;
n influence of foreign substances/bodies or superior force (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 compatible with the Directive 1999/44/EC of the European Parliament and of the
Council of 25 May 1999 on certain aspects of the sale of consumer goods and associated guaran-
tees. Any legal rights under applicable national legislation within the personal, objective or geo-
graphic scope of this directive are not affected.
Servicing- and Guarantee-Extensions
Extended servicing and guarantee performances will - as the case may be - provided by Sputnik
according to a separately concluded agreement.
Limitation of Liability and Warranty
To the maximum extent legally possible, any further liability of and/or alternative claims of warranty/
guarantee against Sputnik are excluded. For commercial users, compensatory claims for loss of
gain are also excluded.
Applicable Law
Unless explicitly agreed upon otherwise in writing, and as far as not in confict with compulsory law,
the material provisions of the UN-Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG)
apply.
Jurisdiction
Unless explicitly agreed upon otherwise in writing, and as far as not in confict with compulsory law,
the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all conficts with Sputnik based on contractual, non-contractu-
al and/or other types of claims lies in Biel, Switzerland.
