§5 Limits on the warranty and contribution to expenses by the beneficiary of the warranty
5.1 The warranty covers the method deemed to be technically necessary to repair the damage/defects to the aforementioned covered components of the vehicle. The working hours that the manufacturer imposes and the repair workshop’s customary hourly rates are decisive for whether wages will be reimbursed. If the repair costs exceed the price of a replacement part which would normally be installed in the case of such damage, then the warranty claim will be limited to the replacement of that part (spare part or if the manufacturer cannot supply a spare part, a new part after consultation with Real Garant), including the costs of disassembly and assembly thereof.

5.5 If the warranty undertaking includes a special exclusion, the compensation per claim calculated according to the foregoing conditions will be reduced by the agreedamount.
5.6 The warranty does not grant any right of annulment (cancellation of the purchase contract) or a discount (reduction of the purchase price) or compensation instead of performance pursuant to the purchase contract. The right to compensation implies actual repair of the damage; purely monetary payment is excluded.
