A limited warranty is provided for supplied software. This applies to a pre-installed operating system and also to supplied programs. For software supplied with the device by the warranty provider, a warranty is issued that any data media, e.g. discs and CD-ROMs on which the software is supplied, shall be free from faults in terms of their materials and workmanship for a period of 90 days following purchase. In the event of a faulty data medium being supplied, the warranty provider shall replace the faulty data medium free of charge; any further claims are excluded. Excluding the warranty for data media, all software is supplied without warranty. Furthermore,

it is not warranted that this software shall function without interruption or errors or that it will meet your requirements. In the case of map material supplied for a device with navigation functions, no warranty is provided for its completeness.

It may be necessary to delete all data from the device in order to repair it. Please ensure that you have a backup copy for all of the data on the device before sending back the device. We expressly point out that the factory settings will be restored in the event of a repair. The warranty provider assumes no liability for the cost of a software configuration, lost revenue, loss of data or software, or other consequential damages.
