5. Mandatory Installation by a Qualified Technician

Any Barista Gadgets product requiring internal machine access, electrical connection, wiring changes, disassembly, or modification of an espresso machine must be installed by a qualified technician.

Installation by a qualified technician is a condition of use for such products.

Customers are responsible for selecting a technician who is appropriately trained, experienced, and qualified to perform the required work.

Installation instructions supplied by Barista Gadgets are intended to assist a qualified technician and do not replace professional training, judgment, experience, applicable electrical requirements, or safety practices.

The requirement to use a qualified technician does not mean that Barista Gadgets guarantees the technician’s work, installation quality, workmanship, safety, or results.

Any technician selected by the customer is an independent third party unless Barista Gadgets expressly states otherwise in writing.

Barista Gadgets is not responsible for the technician’s:

  • Acts or omissions

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the purchaser, installer, and user voluntarily assume all risks associated with the installation, modification, operation, maintenance, servicing, and use of Barista Gadgets products.
