5. AA warranty terms & Conditions:

5.1 Complaints and Notification of Defects.

5.1.1 The customer must notify us in writing immediately, no later than 15 days after receipt of the goods, of any recognizable defects. Adhesive labels on the boxes, labels showing the con-tents and the control slips enclosed with the shipment shall be submitted to us together with the notification of the defect. Any other defects must be notified by the customer in writing immediately after discovery thereof.

5.1.2 The date of receipt by us of notification of a defect shall determine whether or not notification is in good time.

5.1.3 If the notification of a defect is unjustified we shall be entitled to demand compensation from the customer for any expenses we have incurred unless the customer can prove that it is not at fault regarding the unjustified notification of a defect.

5.1.4 Claims on account of defects shall be excluded if the notification of the defect is not received in good time.

5.2 Defects/ Defects of Title.

5.2.1 Claims on account of defects shall become time-barred after a period of 12 months. The foregoing provision shall not apply insofar as longer time bar periods are prescribed by statute pursuant to Section 438 para 1 (2) (building constructions and goods for building constructions), Section 479 para 1 (claim to recourse) and Section 634a (construction defects) German Civil Code [BGB].

5.2.2 The time bar period for defects commences as follows:

a) in case of products for vehicle and engine equipment on the date on which the product is put into use, i.e. in case of original equipment on the date of first registration of the vehicle and in other cases upon installation, but no later than 6 months after delivery of the product (date of transfer of risk);

b) in all other cases upon delivery of the product (date of transfer of risk).

5.2.3 If a defect arises during the time bar period the cause of which already existed on the date of transfer of risk, we may effect subsequent performance at our discretion either by remedying the defect or delivering a defect-free product.

5.2.4 The time bar does not start to run again as a result of the sub-sequent performance.

5.2.5 If subsequent performance should be abortive, the customer may – without prejudice to any claims to damages – rescind the contract or reduce the amount of payment in accordance with statutory provisions.

5.2.6 Claims by the customer because of expenditure required for the purpose of subsequent performance, in particular costs of transport, transportation, labour and materials, shall be governed by statutory provisions. They shall, however, be excluded insofar as such expenditure is increased due to the fact that the product delivered was subsequently taken to a place other than the branch operation of the customer unless such removal is in accordance with the designated use of the product.

5.2.7 Claims for subsequent performance do not exist in case of merely inconsiderable deviation from the quality agreed upon or in case of only minor impairment to the use of the product. Further rights shall remain unaffected hereby.

5.2.8 The following are not deemed to be defects:

  • ordinary wear and tear;
  • Characteristics of the product and damage caused after the date of transfer of risk due to improper handling, storage or erection, non-compliance with installation or handling regulations or to excessive strain or use;
  • Characteristics of the product or damage caused by force majeure, special external circumstances not foreseen under the terms of the contract or due to the use of the product beyond normal use or the use provided for under the terms of the contract;
  • Nonreproducible software errors.

Claims on account of defects do not exist if the product is modified by third parties or due to the installation of parts manufactured by third parties unless the defect has no causal connection with the modification.

We assume no liability for the quality of the product based on the design or choice of material insofar as the customer stipulated the design or material.

5.2.9 Claims to recourse against us by the customer shall only exist insofar as the customer has not reached any agreements with its customer which are more far-reaching than statutory claims on account of defects, for instance accommodation agreements.

5.2.10 Claims on account of defects including claims to recourse by the customer shall be excluded insofar as the customer has had the defect remedied by a specialised workshop/service station not authorised by us.

5.2.11 Clauses 2.3, 2.6, 2.7 shall not apply insofar as our product was proved to be sold by the customer or customer of the customer to a consumer without being processed or installed into another product.
