1.4 Guarantee and warranty
The manufacturer grants a statutory warranty in accordance with the cur-
rent sales and delivery conditions. No further warranties or assurances are
granted.
Within the warranty period, the warranty covers the rectication of all de-
fects that can be traced back to material faults or manufacturing errors.
Wearing parts are excluded from the warranty.
The repair or replacement of a tool shall not result in an extension of the
warranty period. Tools shall only be repaired or replaced with “as new”
parts, whose function corresponds to that of the old parts. All defective and
hence replaced parts are the property of the manufacturer.
Warranty claims shall expire in particular if:
• Damage is caused through improper operation, use for purposes other
than those specied by the manufacturer, or poor maintenance.
• Repairs or conversions are carried out by unauthorized persons.
• No original accessories or spare parts from KNIPEX are used.
• Defective components are not repaired immediately to minimise the
extent of the damage and so as not to impair the safety of the tool
(obligation to repair).
For the rest, reference is made to the liability and warranty regulations
of the current sales and delivery conditions.
