Normal consumable or expendable parts (such as but not limited to fuses, lamps or lasers) and repairs required during the warranty period because of abnormal use or conditions (such as but not limited to riots, floods, misuse, neglect or improper service by anyone except Hammer-IMS or its Authorized Service Provider), are excluded from this warranty. The warranty period for the Equipment is twelve (12) months and shall start after commissioning. The warranty period will never exceed fifteen (15) months after delivery at the Customer site. The warranty period for spare parts is six (6) months after delivery to the Customer site. Warranty terms regarding the Software are contained in the Software license contained in the Software.

As regards the Equipment, Hammer-IMS will not be responsible to Customer for consequential, exemplary or incidental damages (such as loss of profit or employee's time) regardless of the reason. In no event shall the liability and/or obligations of Hammer-IMS under the Agreement or arising out of the purchase, lease, license and/or use of the Equipment by Customer or others exceed the purchase price of the Equipment. Limitations of liability regarding the Software are contained in the click-through license contained in the Software.

Customer will provide computer time for any remedial and preventive maintenance or installation at no cost to Hammer-IMS. Hammer-IMS will accept responsibility in the event that damages are caused by the negligence of its employees or designees while they are on Customer's premises or any third party’s premises in the course of performing installation or servicing purposes.
The delivery terms in the order form or any other agreement coming from Hammer-IMS are only mentioned for information purposes and are therefore not binding unless agreed explicitly otherwise. If conditions arise which prevent compliance with delivery schedules, Hammer-IMS will not be liable for any damage or penalty for delay in delivery, or for failure to give notice of delay. However, Hammer-IMS will use all reasonable efforts to give notice of delays. Delays will not be grounds for cancellation or compensation.

Freight and insurance will be prepaid and invoiced unless otherwise specified on the face hereof. The Customer must inspect the delivered Equipment immediately after receipt. Hammer-IMS must be informed of possible complaints via registered mail before the Equipment is used and no later than three (3) calendar days from delivery to the Customer.

Every increase of the VAT rate or possible other taxes between the order and performance are to be paid by the Customer. Hammer-IMS retains the right to change prices and to correct possible typing errors regarding the estimate. Hammer-IMS may change the price of its Equipment unilaterally if these price changes are the result of objective circumstances outside of its powers, such as a change in VAT and excise duties, packaging and delivery costs. This list of objective circumstances is not exhaustive and is only used as an example. The delivered Equipment remains property of Hammer-IMS as long as the complete purchase price has not been paid, even if the Equipment is modified or converted.
