1. Scope of warranty

1.1 Listan GmbH (hereinafter referred to as “Listan”) guarantees its customers (refers to end customers who purchase to products and are not engaged in the sales of goods) that the products purchased - covered by the respective warranty - are without material and manufacturing defects. This warranty does not affect the statutory warranty rights that may be invoked free of charge, but rather establishes additional, independent claims against Listan. 

1.2 The warranty only extends to the Listan products as specified in the warranty list. Said warranty shall be provided in such a manner that the parts which demonstrably exhibit faults on account of material and manufacturing defects despite being handled and used in accordance with the instructions for use will be replaced or repaired free of charge at our discretion. Alternatively, we shall reserve the right to refund the purchase price against return of the defective device or component or, in the case of devices or components no longer manufactured, to replace the defective device or component with one having similar functions and performance or to refund the residual value (purchase price divided by the warranty period in years multiplied by the full years of the remaining warranty period). Devices that have been replaced shall become our property. Any software and manuals that may have been supplied are excluded from the warranty (this does not apply to goods with digital elements, i.e. goods that contain or are connected to digital products in such a way that the goods would not be able to fulfil their functions without these digital products). Return shipment to the customer shall be at Listan’s expense. Not included in the warranty is compensation for any installation and removal costs as well as for indirect damage, consequential damage and loss of profit.

1.3 The warranty shall apply only to end customers (consumers) who purchase new products from retailers or system integrators. It is not assignable, except where prohibited by applicable local law.

1.4 We shall be entitled to make technical modifications (e.g., firmware updates) which extend beyond repair and exchange in order to keep the device up-to-date with the current state of technology. The buyer will incur no additional costs for this service. Although, the customer cannot derive legal claims from this article.

2. Warranty period

The warranty period for the affected Listan products is listed on the following warranty list and is calculated from the date on the purchase receipt (If the product has been sold multiple times, only base on the date that the first purchasing receipt of the product what issued by retailer or system integrator). Warranties shall neither affect an extension of the warranty period nor trigger a new warranty. The warranty period for installed replacement parts shall end upon the end of the warranty period for the end device. 

3. Processing

3.1 Warranty claims shall only then be taken into consideration if a copy of the original invoice or the purchase receipt is submitted together with a description of the flaw along with the device to Listan. The purchasing receipt must indicate the date of purchase, model name and complete company data of the retailer or system integrator including the tax number or VAT ID. The information provided must be complete and clearly legible.

3.2 It is imperative that the warranty processing is handled directly by Listan or Listan‘s authorized distributor. Warranty claims processed by a dealer without authorized distributor or Listan's approval will not be accepted by Listan. In cases of warranty claims erroneously processed through a dealer, the customer bears the risks of performance failure by the dealer (such as due to insolvency).
