against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used

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, being a component of the system or independent service, will be deemed
invalid provided the damage is not proven to be attributed to the absence of properties
guaranteed in writing or due to the intent or gross negligence or part of RGBlink.
If the purchaser or a third party carries out modifications or repairs on goods delivered by
RGBlink, or if the goods are handled incorrectly, in particular if the systems are commissioned
operated incorrectly or if, after the transfer of risks, the goods are subject to influences not
agreed upon in the contract, all guarantee claims of the purchaser will be rendered invalid. Not

special electronic circuitry provided by the purchaser, e.g. interfaces. Normal wear as well as
normal maintenance are not subject to the guarantee provided by RGBlink either.
The environmental conditions as well as the servicing and maintenance regulations specified in
