LEDON provides no guarantee if the products, which are not supplied or approved by LEDON for this purpose, are mounted in the products, or if any modification of construction is made to the products.
Unless otherwise stated, the CUSTOMER undertakes and carries out all replacement and repairs of defective parts. The CUSTOMER carries all costs connected with the dismounting and mounting of parts as well as dispatch and travel expenses.
Should the dismounting or mounting of LEDON products result in unintended work or other operations to other products than that of the consignment, LEDON will not be chargeable for the costs nor will LEDON undertake the work itself.
LEDON’s liability for defects is limited to the fixed price for the defective part of the consignment.

3. EN 1176

All LEDON play items are checked and approved according to EN 1176.
All certifications are made by TÜV or corresponding authorities.
Approval of specific projects is the responsibility of the CUSTOMER or end consumer.
1. LEDON tube slides
  Due to the open design platform of LEDON tube slides there are options which are not covered by LEDON TÜV certificate. As a rule it is thus the client’s responsibility to ensure conformity with EN 1176 of the specific LEDON tube slide ordered.
2. Custom made products
  Non-standard products and modifications of standard LEDON products by order of a client are not tested and approved according to EN 1176 by LEDON. Thus, it is for the client himself to ensure conformity with EN 1176 of the custom-made product.

4. Product Liability

LEDON’s Product Liability (i.e. statutory claims regarding liability for personal injury or for damages to property arising out of the use of the Agreement Products) towards the CUSTOMER and third parties shall be limited to the extent permitted under applicable laws and shall not include damages to non- consumer property nor compensation for loss of profit, delays, lost earnings, or any other indirect loss.
LEDON reserves the right to change the construction of the products. LEDON will inform the CUSTOMER about considerable changes of the construction. LEDON has no obligation to reconstruct products that have been delivered before such a reconstruction or improvement was made. Information found in brochures and other material is thus subject to alteration and without obligation for LEDON. If a party receives a Product Liability claim from a third party, such party must immediately inform the other party of such claim. If the LEDON becomes involved in a law suit involving the LEDON’s Product Liability in relation to products supplied by the CUSTOMER (in person or through others), the CUSTOMER is obliged to accept jurisdiction of the court of justice Maritime and Commercial Court in Copenhagen.
Either of the parties are exempt from responsibility under the following circumstances provided they hinder the fulfilment of the agreement or impede fulfilment considerably: Strikes, lockouts, requirements and regulations by public authorities, war, natural disasters, boycotts, quarantine, fire, damage to production apparatus, shipwreck, currency restrictions, riots and disturbances, lack of means of transport, general lack of supplies, restrictions in power supply and events of the same character as well as defective consignments or delayed delivery from sub-suppliers to LEDON owing to any of the circumstances stated in this paragraph.
All offers, order confirmations, agreements and deliveries from the LEDON are submitted to Danish law and the Danish Sales of Goods Act in every respect. The International Sale of Goods Act, Act No. 733 of 7th December 1988 shall not apply.
