Guarantee and Compensation

Barco 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 Barco must be informed immediately in writing of any com-

plaints.

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 complaint,

Barco 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 services provided by Barco,

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 Barco.

If the purchaser or a third party carries out modifications or repairs on goods delivered by Barco, or if the

goods are handled incorrectly, in particular if the systems are 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 included in the guarantee coverage are system failures which are attributed to

programs or 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 Barco either.

The customer must comply with the environmental conditions as well as the servicing and maintenance regu-

lations specified in this manual.
