 12. WARRANTIES

(a) Warranties. Vision-Box warrants that: (i) it will perform the Services in a professional and workmanlike manner; (ii) to the best of its knowledge, each Product is free from defects in material and workmanship; (iii) each Product materially conforms to Vision-Box specifications that are attached to, or expressly incorporated into the Agreement; and (iv) at the time of delivery, Vision-Box has title to each Product free and clear of liens and encumbrances (the “Warranties"). The Warranties do not apply to software furnished by Vision-Box.

 (b) Remedies. If the Services or Product fail to meet the warranty standards set forth in Article 12(a) within the applicable Warranty Period defined in Article 12(c), and the CLIENT promptly reports such non-conformance to Vision-Box during the above mentioned Warranty Period, Vision-Box shall at its own expense (i) for Services, re-perform the relevant Services or, in Vision-Box’ sole discretion, refund CLIENT the pro rata portion of the fees paid to Vision-Box under the Agreement allocable to the nonconforming Services; and (ii) for Product, at Vision-Box' discretion, repair or replace the Product, or its non-conforming parts, within a reasonable time period, or refund of all or part of the purchase price. The warranty on repaired or replaced Product, Services or parts is limited to the remainder of the original Warranty Period.

The repair, modification or substitution of spare parts during the Warranty Period do not lead to, under any circumstances, its extension.

 (c) Warranty Period. Unless explicitly stipulated otherwise, Vision-Box concedes a guarantee against factory faults which necessarily result from the normal use of the Products for the maximum and non-extendable period of 12 (twelve) months counting from the shipment date of the Products or the date in which the material is at the disposition of the CLIENT, who must provide written notice of any claims for the alleged faults. Additionally, absent written notice within the applicable Warranty period, any use or possession of the Product after expiration of the applicable Warranty period is conclusive evidence that the applicable Warranties have been satisfied.

 (d) Conditions to the warranties. The Warranties are conditioned on: (i) no repairs, modifications or alterations being made to the Product other than by Vision-Box or its authorized representatives or, at least, without the prior authorization, in writing, of Vision-Box; (ii) CLIENT handling, using, storing, installing, operating and maintaining the Product in compliance with any parameters or instructions in any specifications attached to, or incorporated into the Agreement, (iii) CLIENT discontinuing use of the Product after it has, or should have had knowledge of any defect in the Product; (iv) CLIENT providing prompt written notice of any warranty claims within the Warranty Period; (viii) Product not having been subjected to accident (including force majeure), alteration, abuse or misuse; and (ix) CLIENT not being in default of any payment obligation.

For breakdowns in the Products which are proven to be found in the situation described above, Vision-Box will ensure the repair and the repositioning in functional order in its factory installations, without any costs to the CLIENT. As an alternative, the costs which result from eventual transport and subsequent applied technical labour will be supported by the CLIENT.

 (e) Exclusions from warranty coverage. The Warranty does not include the following: breakdowns, deteriorations, accidents or other anomalies which are, directly or indirectly, provoked or aggravated by the negligent use of the Products, or as a result of the failure to observe the working and safety instructions and rules, as well as due to the failure of appropriate maintenance or any other circumstance imputable to the CLIENT. In case of doubt, a technical professional credited by Vision-Box will be responsible for the evaluation of the situation, with the eventual costs which result from this to be charged to the CLIENT.

 (f) Period after the warranty. Outside of the Warranty period, Vision-Box will not ensure the technical assistance of the Products, unless there is a Support and Maintenance Agreement between the Parties.

(g) THE WARRANTIES IN THIS ARTICLE 12 ARE VISION BOXS’ SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE WARRANTIES AS TO VISION-BOX PRODUCTS AND SERVICES AND ARE SUBJECT TO THE LIMITS OF LIABILITY IN ARTICLE 13 BELOW.

(b) Vision-box’ maximum liability under the Agreement, shall not exceed the total booked value received by Vision-Box under the Agreement.
