indicated are not exceeded; - The product is not exposed to any unintended mechanical and/or chemical stresses.
The guarantee exclusively covers product failures that are caused by proven material, design or manufacturing flaws and

the guarantee. When the guarantee has been fulfilled, the guarantee period does not start to run again.
Guarantee cases are processed through the respective sales subsidiary of the in the respective country in

to new products or parts. The dimensions and design of the replacement product may deviate from the original product.
‘Recycled materials’ are parts or products that are used or reconditioned and are not new. Although such parts or products
are not new, after reconditioning or overhaul the condition is like new with respect to performance and reliability. The
functionality of all replacement products or parts is equivalent to that of the product or part being replaced. Replacement
products or parts shall not exhibit any material or manufacturing defects for the remainder of the applicable guarantee
period for the product that is replaced or in which they are installed. - The guarantee shall not apply to
a) Any incidental costs arising in connection with the correction of defects (guarantee fulfilment), such as for installation
and removal, transport of the defective and repaired or new product, disposal, travel and transit time, hoists,
scaffolding); these costs are borne by the buyer;
b) Wear parts, such as all standard lamps, batteries and hard drives; computers and servers that contain hard disks or
mechanical wear parts;
c) Plastic parts (e.g. made of polycarbonate) to the extent they discolour or embrittle due to the natural ageing process;
d) Electronic components, products and lamps that Soho Lighting sells as articles of merchandise, such as touch panels,
printers and computers under third-party labels, as well as lamps of other manufacturers;
e) Settings or parameter settings on equipment that change based on wear and tear, fatigue or soiling;
f) Product defects that are attributable to software errors, bugs, viruses or the like;

An extended guarantee, including assumption of costs for disassembly and reassembly in the first five years, can be
obtained by also concluding a maintenance contract. If you are interested, please contact your responsible sales
representative. - The guarantee expires immediately if the customer or third parties make or perform changes, repairs, service work or
troubleshooting without the prior written consent of the guarantor. - Additional information on LED products: In the case of LED modules, a drop in the value of the luminous flux of up to
0.6%/1,000 hours of operation is the state of the technology and thus not covered by the guarantee. The colour tolerance
of LED modules is not covered by the manufacturer’s guarantee. The luminous flux and performance are subject to a
tolerance of ±10% in the case of a new LED module. All relevant technical data are mentioned in the product and
application specifications (particularly according to the specification sheet, product brochure and the like). In the case of
subsequent deliveries of LED modules, there may be deviations in light properties with regard to the original products due
to technical progress and usage-induced change in the luminous flux and light colour of products.
