Right of ownership of a delivered product does not pass to the customer until the final payment has been received by Handheld. Until final payment has been made, Handheld retains the full right of ownership of a delivered product.

For packages not collected, a charge of currently 25 Euro plus VAT, if applicable, will be charged. Shipping Costs Shipping costs are added to all orders. The total shipping cost is not determined until the invoice is made out. This is because it is not until then that the weight of the consignment is known, whether the consignment is outsized, must be delivered on a pallet or if it consists of several parcels. Handheld uses UPS for delivery. In the case of companies, the goods are delivered directly to the delivery address. If the company’s delivery address is a post box or has a post box number, the article is sent by parcel post to the postal service’s delivery point; door-to-door delivery is not included in this service. Information on the cost of other types of delivery (e.g. by messenger) will be provided by the salesperson, as these prices vary depending on delivery address. Articles may not be picked up at Handheld. In the case of part deliveries, the customer is billed the normal shipping price. Repurchase Articles will not be repurchased. Repurchase is furthermore not accepted for software.

Accessories and peripherals are limited warranted against defects in materials and workmanship for ninety (90) days from the original date of purchase. If notice is received of such defects during the limited warranty period, the proven defective product(s) will either be repaired or replaced, at the manufacturer’s option. Replacement products may be either new or like new. Handheld does not warrant that the operation of the products will be uninterrupted or error-free.

The risk for the article passes to the buyer when the article has been delivered to the carrier. Insurance An optional insurance for transportation can be purchased thru Handheld at a premium of 0.5% of the order value. Dead on Arrival – DOA Procedure Customers shall inspect all items upon arrival in order to verify that the items are free from defects. A product will be treated as a DOA item if it is defective upon receipt or develops a fault within the period of 30 days from the invoice date. In the event that a product in non-working condition is received, the customer should notify the service department service@handheldgroup.com immediately to request a RMA number. If the complaint is made later than 30 days after the date of the invoice, Handheld reserves the right to determine in what way the defect will be remedied. All returned material must have a valid RMA number. This number is necessary to ensure proper tracking and handling. The customer must not return any items until an RMA number has been received. Note that receiving a RMA number is not to be construed as approval of a complaint. The RMA number will be emailed to the customer together with a return shipping label. The RMA number should be printed and included in the return shipment. To minimize processing time and potential difficulties in proving the cause of damage, the DOA item must be returned within 14 days from receipt of RMA number. Items returned must be the same as the item and quantity mentioned in the RMA. The item returned must be in original condition, unused and in original package, well packed in packaging approved by the postal service. Any transport damage due to deficient packaging will be billed to the customer. Handheld reserves the rights to inspect the item and to bill a testing charge of 75 Euro plus VAT, if applicable, if the item proves not to be defective and the claim is not accepted. For the item found to be “Dead on Arrival”, Handheld will replace the defective item with a new product (whole package). The replacement item will be invoiced. No ship cost will be charged for the replacement item. The item returned will be credited by Handheld after receipt and inspection. Transport damage shall be reported to Handheld on the day of the shipment’s arrival.

Appendix 1 Permanently lit/dark pixels on TFT screens With all products with so-called flat screens (TFT), there is a risk of the existence of permanently lit or permanently dark pixels already at delivery of the product. This shall not in itself be considered a defect in the article, but qualitative variations in the picture elements that arise during manufacture. The number of permissible permanently lit/dark pixels varies among manufacturers, but most comply with the ISO 13406-2 standard (TFT screens, screens on portable computers, etc. are considered class II picture elements unless otherwise indicated in the product information). Permanently lit/dark pixels may arise after a period of use of the screen. This, too, is normal and is not covered by guarantee unless the number exceeds the permissible number as per ISO 13406-2 or each respective manufacturer’s guarantee terms. According to the ISO 13406-2 standard, TFT elements are divided into four different classes, class I, class II, class III and class IV. TFT elements belonging to class I may not contain permanently lit or dark pixels. TFT elements intended for military use or for use in medical apparatus, for example, fall into this category. For TFT elements that fall into class II, a certain number of permanently lit/dark pixels per the number of million pixels the screen consists of are allowed. All TFT elements aimed at the corporate or consumer market belong to class II. Class III and IV allow even more defective pixels, but elements classified as class III or IV hardly exist in the market. Handheld provides no further guarantees regarding permanently lit/dark pixels than those specified by the lcd/TFT manufacturer.
