aus der Lieferung gebrauchter Geräte used devices Explanation: I would go with this idea. "used" also includes the idea of "second-hand" and nasically anything that is not new. |

aus der Lieferung gebrauchter Geräte POST GRADING - BACKGROUND INFO & ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION Explanation: As far as I know, the askers are requested to wait 24 hours before grading... Regardless of the fact that the suggestion chosen is fine (IMHO), I thought I'd expound on your question: The reduction of the normal warranty period from 2 years (cf. § 438 BGB) to 1 year for used items is dealt with in § 475 (2) BGB. Putzo in Palandt (the standard commentary on the German Civil Code) has this to say about it under § 475 BGB: "Bei neuen Sachen darf auch bei zulässiger Abweichung keine kürzere Frist als 2 Jahre vereinbart werden, nur bei gebrauchten Sachen kürzer, aber mindestens 1 Jahr (zulässig infolge von Art. 7 I 2 VerbrGKRL). Die Regelung gilt auch für Tiere, wobei die Abgrenzung zwischen neu und gebraucht bei Tieren mindestens problematisch ist (vgl BGH NJW-RR 86, 52), wenn überhaupt möglich (adolphsen AgrarR 01, 203 [AND this interesting article: http://www.bienenarchiv.de/veroeffentlichungen/2002_gewaehrl...]). Für die Eigenschaft "gebraucht" ab Geburt: Brückner / Böhme MDR 02, 1406. Gebraucht ist eine Sache jedenfalls dann, wenn sie in Benutzung genommen worden ist, z.B. Kunstwerke sind gebraucht, wenn sie bereits zu anderen Zwecken als zum Verkauf privat oder öffentlich ausgestellt wurden (Berger KuR 03, 137/40)." As you can see, it does not matter whether the item is sold be the manufacturer, or for the umpteenth time, nor does it matter whether the item has removed from the original packaging - it depends on whether the item has been "used" before it was sold. In the end, I would thus go with "used device," just as you have already chosen. :-) |
