Warranties: rtkflow’s Product warranty applies for a period of 2 years from the date of delivery for any proven defects due to bad material or poor workmanship of rtkflow. Under the warranty, rtkflow undertakes, at its sole discretion, to repair or replace the defective hardware or to reimburse the purchase price for the defective hardware. It is the Customer’s responsibility to arrange and pay the return shipment of the defective hardware to rtkflow. Return shipment will only be accepted if such shipment is approved by e-mail. Repaired or replaced hardware will be warranted hereunder only for the remaining portion of the original warranty period.

Any removed hardware shall become rtkflow’s property. The Customer shall bear the associated costs of replacement of any defective hardware (i.e. removing, transporting and reinstalling). Excluded from rtkflow’s warranty are all defects, which result from normal wear and tear or damaging external influences (e.g. electromagnetic, electrolytic, chemical, weather, air pollution), unapproved repairs, improper maintenance or storage, failure to observe the user manual and mounting instructions, excessive loading, inappropriate or insufficient testing, inappropriate material or processes, failure to implement updates or upgrades of firmware or software as recommended by rtkflow. Before mass‑production, Customer shall perform tests as necessary to assure that the Products and Data Services are fit for the purpose intended by the Customer. A warranty claim must be made within three (3) days after discovery of the defect by Customer, otherwise rtkflow’s warranty coverage shall not apply. Data Services and support are provided on an “as is” basis and rtkflow, its affiliates and third party licensors expressly disclaim all warranties, whether express, implied or statutory.
Data Services: rtkflow grants Customer a non‑exclusive non‑transferable, license to use rtkflow Data Services.
