USE AND CARE OF THE PRODUCT –CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITY
The Drone Pilot shall only use the «Tundra Drone Siren herder» (herafter
Product) as the described in this manual.
Drones, aircrafts, or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) (hereafter aircraft or
drone) mounted with the Product from Tundra Drone AS (herafter Tundra
Drone) shall only be used in accordance with the regulations for drone flying in
the country in which the Drone Pilot operates. The Drone Pilot must ensure
that the drone, where the Product is mounted, is insured at all times with
statutory liability insurance, if required by national law in the country where
operating the aircraft.
The Drone Pilot understands that the use of a Product from Tundra Drone on
drones may entail a higher risk due to the fact that mounting of additional
drone equipment on the drone may affect the performance of the drone itself,
in both short and long term. It is therefore recommended that the Drone Pilot
performs more frequent maintenance of the drone than the drone
manufacturer’s recommendations, to ensure that performance is not reduced.
Furthermore, additional drone equipment mounted to the drone may increase
the likelihood that weather and other conditions may affect the drone’s flight
characteristics. The Drone Pilot understands that this constitutes conditions
that the Drone Pilot must be especially careful with when flying the drone. The
Drone Pilot must read and understand the user manuals for both the drone and
the Product from Tundra Drone before the Product is used, and then carry out
their own training with these in a calm, delimited and safe area, before the
Drone Pilot takes the Product from Tundra Drone into ordinary use.
Negligent use of drones with mounted drone equipment may lead to crashes,
accidents or other dangers to the environment and people. If an incident as
mentioned causes damage or death to people and animals, or damage to
buildings, other physical objects or surroundings, and/or economic loss or
damage, the Drone Pilot agrees that the Drone Pilot cannot hold Tundra Drone
liable for damages, and the Drone Pilot waives the right to pursue Tundra
Drone via legal action in any country. Should claims be made against Tundra
Drone as a result of damage or loss that occurs when the Product is used by
the Drone Pilot, or for breach of public and private regulations and permits, the
Drone Pilot is obliged to indemnify Tundra Drone. This also applies if the
damage occurs to a third party.
