The processing of the defective Hardware will be carried out according to the procedure of the manufacturer or supplier and the instructions given by TV TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED.

1.6 Without prejudice to the provisions in the warranty conditions of the manufacturer, supplier or TV TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED, the warranty will at least lapse if:

(vii) defects have arisen due to deviating environmental conditions, insofar as such conditions have been stipulated or by other external causes such as fire or water damage.

1.7 The warranty period is not extended or renewed by carrying out the work performed, or replacement products supplied within the context of the warranty.

1.8 TV TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED is under no obligation to repair defects that have been reported after the expiry of the warranty period set by the manufacturer or supplier, unless Parties have agreed in the Agreement upon the delivery of Maintenance and Support Services, which includes such a duty to repair. Work and costs of repair that are delivered or made outside the scope of the warranty will be charged by TV TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED in accordance with its usual rates.

1.9 Only in the event of the warranty conditions of the manufacturer or the supplier in the relationship between TV TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED and the Customer for whatever reason being deemed to not be applicable or are declared inapplicable, the following applies with regard to the warranty:

(ii) The warranty includes the free repair or replacement of (parts of) the Hardware in the event of defects in materials and/or workmanship of which the Customer proves that these have occurred within the stipulated warranty period.

(iv) Any costs that exceed the sole obligation of replacement as described, such as transport costs, travel and accommodation costs as well as costs of disassembly/assembly are payable by the Customer.

(v) The warranty expires in case of circumstances as mentioned in article 1.6.
