Victron Energy shall not be liable for damages, whether direct, incidental, special, or consequential, even caused by negligence or fault. As a product requires service, it must be brought back to the place of purchase.

In case Victron Energy replaces a product, it will own the replaced product. Victron Energy owns all parts removed from repaired products.

If Victron Energy repairs or replaces a part of a product, its warranty term is not extended: the warranty will apply for the remaining term of the original warranty term. For example, if Victron Energy replaces a product with a 5-year warranty after 3 years, the warranty of this product will apply for another 2 years, with a minimum of 6 months. All remedies and the measure for damages are limited to the above. Victron Energy shall in no event be liable for consequential, incidental, contingent or special damages, even if having been advised of the probability of such damages. The foregoing limited warranty provided by Victron Energy is in lieu of any other warranties, express or implied arising by law,

course of dealing, course of performance, usage of trade or otherwise, of any kind whatsoever including, without limitation, warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, with respect to any product. The above is without prejudice to the arrangement for consumers detailed above.
