Terms of Warranty
Megger accept responsibility for a claim under warranty brought forward by a customer
for a product sold by Megger under the terms stated below.
Megger warrant that at the time of delivery Megger products are free from manufacturing
or material defects which might considerably reduce their value or usability. This warranty
does not apply to faults in the software supplied. During the period of warranty, Megger
agree to repair faulty parts or replace them with new parts or parts as new (with the same
usability and life as new parts) according to their choice.
This warranty does not cover wear parts, lamps, fuses, batteries and accumulators.
Megger reject all further claims under warranty, in particular those from consequential
damage. Each component and product replaced in accordance with this warranty
becomes the property of Megger.
All warranty claims versus Megger are hereby limited to a period of 12 months from the
date of delivery. Each component supplied by Megger within the context of warranty will
also be covered by this warranty for the remaining period of time but for 90 days at least.
Each measure to remedy a claim under warranty shall exclusively be carried out by
Megger or an authorized service station.
This warranty does not apply to any fault or damage caused by exposing a product to
conditions not in accordance with this specification, by storing, transporting, or using it
improperly, or having it serviced or installed by a workshop not authorized by Megger. All
responsibility is disclaimed for damage due to wear, will of God, or connection to foreign
components.
For damage resulting from a violation of their duty to repair or re-supply items, Megger
can be made liable only in case of severe negligence or intention. Any liability for slight
negligence is disclaimed.
Since some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of an implied warranty or of
consequential damage, the limitations of liability described above perhaps may not apply
to you.
