Liability Exclusion

Dear Customer
Our cable sets are developed according to the connection- and circuit diagrams of the corresponding car manufacturer. Before the original production the cable sets will be tested on an original car. Therefore, the integration into the car electronics will be executed according to the instructions of the manufacturer. Regarding the necessary pre-understanding and the accuracy of the presentation of texts and pictures our mounting guidelines correspond to the usual ones in car technology and car electronics. Practically, they have been proved one’s worth a hundred times. However, should there be any diﬃculties during the installation of our products we will be at your dis-posal any time for support by phone or by mail. Moreover, we oﬀer you to execute the installation at our works in Bad Segeberg. Costs which may arise because a third person will execute the installation of our products will not be supported by us in any case. Only if there is a mistake caused by our product we will pay the proved costs of the installation as well as the costs of the removal of the defective product. The refund of expenses will be limited to gross EUR 110,- ; we reserve the right to check the described mistake in our works in Bad Segeberg. In case of a proved reclamation the costs for dispatch for the check in our factory will be transferred to you. According to our experience each speciﬁc factory which has the necessary diagnostic device, diagnostic software and the circuit diagrams of the manufacturer can ﬁnd possible mistakes at our products within a short time. So the installation and removal including diagnostic inspection can be realised in at most 60 minutes. We also made the experience that many speciﬁc factories cannot work with the circuit diagrams of the manufacturer, and that they cannot read usual wiring diagrams. Therefore, very easy installation works will take many hours. You will understand that we neither take the risk to ﬁnd a reliable speciﬁc factory nor the ﬁnancing of the training of the staﬀ of your favoured factory. Costs which will arise because you buy missing parts or spare parts at other suppliers will be refunded by us up to the amount of the costs which had been arisen by additional supply (saved expenses). In this case, there would be no right for refund according to the legal guarantee right as long as we have no deadline for supplementary performance or a deadline for supplementary performance has not expired. So if you have any problems with the installation or operation of one of our products please call us, send us an email, send us the product or take your car to our factory in Bad Segeberg. We are sure to ﬁnd an appropriate solution for each concern. With best regards Your Kufatec GmbH & Co. KG Team

Important Information Sound Booster

Please use for the ﬁxation of the Sound Booster suitable high tensile screws. In order to avoid losening of the screws by vibration please make the screws safe with appropriate factory material e.g Threadlock. Please additionally check the stability of the Sound Booster regularly and if necessary retighten the screws. In case of no consideration we do not assume liability for possible damages. After successful installation we recommend to cover the sound generator with a zinc spray. Make sure that you cover the opening of the sound generator so that no zinc spray can’t get inside the sound generator. As additional safety the delivered steel cable and the retaining clips have to be tightened on the Sound Booster as well as at a suitable position in the car. This safety cable is an additional security should the tightening screws should be released by vibration.
