Legal notices

To avoid making mistakes during operation, we recommend that you carefully follow the instructions provided in this manual.

We have taken a great deal of care whilst programming and checking this software.

Nevertheless, since it is not possible to guarantee totally error-free software applications in all environments and at any time, we unfortunately cannot rule out the possibility that some errors may have crept in.

MacroSystem Digital Video AG and its dealers therefore do not guarantee fault-free use of the product or complete flawlessness of the product.

We will remedy any errors in the program and supply the affected customers with the new software free of charge, if possible.

Warranty claims for defects shall expire in 24 months in the case of newly manufactured items. This shall not apply insofar as the law prescribes otherwise and in cases involving injury to life, limb or health, in the case of intentional or grossly negligent violation of duty on the part of the supplier and in the case of malicious silence with regard to a defect.

The customer shall report defects to the supplier immediately in writing. Claims for reimbursement of expenses for error tracing shall be honoured only after prior consultation with MacroSystem Digital Video AG management staff.

Any other claims asserted by the customer for any expense(s) required for the purpose of subsequent performance, in particular transport, travelling, work and material costs shall be excluded. However, this shall not apply to claims for reasons other than newly determined software defects.

Warranty claims shall not apply in the case of only insignificant deviation from the agreed quality, for only insignificant impairment of the usefulness, in the case of natural wear or damage which may occur after passage of the risk due to improper or careless handling, excessive use, unsuitable operating materials or which have occurred due to other special external influences not provided for in accordance with the terms of the agreement. In the event that improper modifications or repair work is performed by the customer or any third party, then any warranty claims for defects shall also be null and void for these and other consequences.

We do not, however, accept any liability for loss of data/time or any consequential damages that may occur as a result, particularly because we have no influence over correct software installation and operation by the customer. MacroSystem Digital Video AG and its dealers therefore cannot be held liable for any defects or unintentional damage in connection with the installation or use of the HDV-Recorder.

Claims by the customer to compensation in damages and/or reimbursement of expenses shall thus be excluded, in particular because of violation of contractual obligations and due to unlawful acts. However, this shall not apply insofar as peremptory liability is involved, e.g. in accordance with product liability law, in cases of intention, gross negligence, because of injury to life, limb or health or because of violation of substantial contract obligations. However, any claims to damages for violation of substantial contract obligations shall be limited to conventional foreseeable damage insofar as intention or gross negligence is not involved or liability due to injury to life, limb or health. A shift of the burden of proof to the disadvantage of the customer shall not be connected with the above regulations.

Neither MacroSystem Digital Video AG nor its dealers are responsible for any damages resulting either directly or indirectly through the use of the software or the operating instructions. This is particularly the cause for profit loss and reimbursement of expense.

Any implied guarantee is totally out of the question, including guarantee of suitability of the software or operating instructions for a particular purpose.
