are met. The estimated life expectancy can be exceeded if the product
is carefully used and properly maintained, and provided technical and
scientific advances do not result in technical limitations. The life expec-
tancy can also be considerably reduced by extreme or incorrect usage.

not constitute an additional warranty.
