Liability Exemptions
SMA declines any liability for direct or consequential damages due to any of the fol-
lowing:
•
Transportation damage
•
Improper installation or setup
•
Unauthorized alterations, modifications, or repair
•
Inappropriate use or operation
•
Violation of relevant safety regulations
•
Natural disasters (lightning, overvoltage, storm, fire)
SMA cannot guarantee proper transmission via Powerline communica-
tion in electric networks with high harmonic distortion or high-frequency
line distortions, such as industrial power supply networks, or in the
neighborhood of abnormal consumers (unshielded motors, transformers,
converters, etc.). Since the simultaneous operation of baby monitors and
the like may lead to occasional data transmission failures, the option of
RS232 or RS485 communication via a separate data line is offered.
SMA cannot be held responsible for software malfunctions. In the event of such a
fault, the purveyance of instructions on how to avoid the effects of the fault is to be
considered a sufficient rectification of the fault. The customer is solely responsible for
properly selecting, using, and monitoring the software as well as for the conse-
quences of its use.
Any further claims for direct or consequential damages and reparations, even in the
case of breach of contract, are excluded, except where prescribed by law.
Consequential Damages
Under no circumstance will SMA accept any liability for damages resulting from the
use of a Sunny Boy Control , including but not limited to direct and indirect damages
resulting from the use of the hardware, personal damages, loss of profit, interruption
of business, loss of data, or financial losses.
In the case where the maker is legally compelled to accept such liability, it must be
limited to the actual cost born by the claimant.
