The availability of parts and travel vise might be subject of delays which are out of Bruker influence.

to this before any onsite work can be initiated. This might cause delays which are not entirely under

control of Bruker.

d. The delivery of covered and non-covered products and services might be delayed due to legal aspects

such as but not limited to export compliance delays (within Bruker or even outside of Bruker), custom

clearance processes (customer reliability), governmental travel restrictions or other legal regulations,

which are not under all circumstances entirely under control of Bruker.

e. All work will be performed by Bruker OEM factory-certified Support or Field Service Engineers.
