Only after testing will WaterITech make a possible exchange/crediting.

10.7 WaterITech does not provide warranty on used equipment.

10.8 The warranty will expire if the agreed terms of payment are not met or if the buyer has changes or repairs made to the material or uses non-original spare parts before the end of the warranty period.

11. Liability for damages including product liability

11.1 To the extent permitted by applicable law, contractual claims for damages shall be excluded, unless WaterITech has acted with intent or gross negligence.

11.2 WaterITech is not liable for damage that has occurred as a result of the buyer's inadequate storage, maintenance and/or incorrect use of the equipment in question in accordance with the accompanying WaterITech instructions for use, nor is WaterITech liable for damage that has occurred as a result of the buyer using the product(s) together with products/goods supplied by third parties that do not meet the requirements set out in the WaterITech instructions for use.

11.3 In the event of personal injury caused by the product and in the event of damage to items that by their nature usually intended for non-commercial use, WaterITech is liable in accordance with the rules of the Product Liability Act. However, compensation can never exceed the amount for which WaterITech has taken out insurance. If a third party makes a claim against one of the parties for liability under this paragraph, that party must immediately notify the other in writing. The buyer and WaterITech agree to be co-respondents before the court that may hear a claim for damages that is brought against one of them on the basis of damage allegedly caused by one of WaterITech's deliveries.

13.2 Danish law is applicable. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods of April 11, 1980 (“International Sale of Goods Act” (“CISG”)) shall not apply.

11.1 I den udstrækning, det er i overensstemmelse med gældende lov, vil kontraktlige erstatningskrav være udelukket, med mindre WaterITech forsætligt eller ved grov forsømmelse har begået fejl. Erstatningsansvar for indirekte skade af enhver slags, især personskade, materiel skade, tab af indtægter eller fejl under drift, såvel som såkaldte følgevirkninger af sådanne, er udtrykkeligt ekskluderet under de ovenfor nævnte forudsætninger.

Erstatning kan dog aldrig overstige det beløb, som WaterITech har tegnet forsikring for. Hvis tredjemand fremsætter krav mod en af parterne om erstatningsansvar i henhold til dette punkt, skal denne part straks underrette den anden skriftligt herom. Køberen og WaterITech accepterer at kunne medindstævnes ved den domstol, som måtte behandle et erstatningskrav, der er rejst mod en af dem på grundlag af en skade, som påstås forårsaget af en af WaterITech's leverancer.
