LEGAL DISCLAIMER AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

(Intellectual Property and Manufacturing Responsibility Statement)

Effective Date: JANUARY 2025

This Legal Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability Statement (“Statement”) is issued by FÖHR (the “Brand”).

1. Manufacturing Structure

FÖHR is a commercial brand engaged in the marketing and distribution of electrical testing and industrial equipment. FOHR does not design, engineer, develop, or manufacture the products directly. All products bearing the FOHR brand name are manufactured, assembled, or produced by independent third-party original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and contract manufacturers under private-label or contract manufacturing agreements.

FÖHR operates solely as a brand owner and distributor.

2. No Ownership of Underlying Technology

FÖHR does not claim ownership of any underlying patents, utility models, industrial designs, trademarks, trade secrets, copyrights, proprietary software, firmware, embedded systems, or other intellectual property rights associated with the engineering or technological development of the products unless expressly stated in a separate written agreement.

All intellectual property rights remain the sole responsibility of the respective manufacturers or lawful rights holders.

3. Intellectual Property Compliance Responsibility

Each independent manufacturer supplying products to FÖHR represents and warrants that:

• The products do not infringe any third-party patents, trademarks, copyrights, industrial designs, trade secrets, or other intellectual property rights.

• The products comply with applicable international intellectual property laws, including but not limited to:

• The TRIPS Agreement (WTO)

• The Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property

• The Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works

• Applicable national patent, trademark, and copyright laws in the jurisdictions where the products are manufactured or sold.

FÖHR relies in good faith on such representations from its manufacturers.

4. Disclaimer of Liability for Intellectual Property Claims

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, FOHR shall not be held liable for:

• Any alleged or actual patent infringement;

• Trademark violations;

• Copyright infringement;

• Misappropriation of trade secrets;

• Unauthorized use of proprietary technology;

• Design rights violations;

• Or any other intellectual property claim arising from the manufacture, design, engineering, or technological development of the products.

Any claims relating to intellectual property infringement shall be directed exclusively to the original manufacturer responsible for the design and production of the goods.

5. No Independent Technology Development

FÖHR does not reverse engineer, modify core technologies, or alter proprietary engineering components supplied by its manufacturers. FOHR does not independently develop internal circuitry, embedded firmware, measurement algorithms, or proprietary testing methodologies associated with the equipment.

6. Indemnification by Manufacturers

Manufacturers supplying products under the FÖHR brand are contractually required to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless FÖHR, its directors, officers, shareholders, affiliates, distributors, and agents from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, or expenses arising from alleged intellectual property violations.

7. Jurisdictional Limitation

Nothing in this Statement shall exclude or limit liability where such exclusion is prohibited by mandatory law in any applicable jurisdiction. In jurisdictions where limitations of liability are restricted, FÖHR’s liability shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

8. No Admission of Liability

This Statement does not constitute an admission of liability, infringement, wrongdoing, or legal responsibility of any kind.

9. Governing Law

This Statement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the applicable commercial laws of the jurisdiction in which FOHR is legally incorporated, without regard to conflict of law principles.
