Guarantee and Compensation
RGBlink provides a guarantee relating to perfect manufacturing as part of the legally
stipulated terms of guarantee. On receipt, the purchaser must immediately inspect all
delivered goods for damage incurred during transport, as well as for material and
manufacturing faults. RGBlink must be informed immediately in writing of any complains.
The period of guarantee begins on the date of transfer of risks, in the case of special systems and
software on the date of commissioning, at latest 30 days after the transfer of risks. In the event of
justified notice of compliant, RGBlink can repair the fault or provide a replacement at its own
discretion within an appropriate period. If this measure proves to be impossible or unsuccessful,
the purchaser can demand a reduction in the purchase price or cancellation of the contract. All
other claims, in particular those relating to compensation for direct or indirect damage, and also
damage attributed to the operation of software as well as to other service provided by RGBlink,
