4. The date of purchase of the RaceChip must be proven by submitting the payment document to RaceChip.
5. If the product price for the car for which the purchased product is to be reprogrammed is higher than for the car for which the product was previously configured, a charge will be incurred which is equivalent to the difference in price and is additional to the charge for the reprogramming itself.
6. If RaceChip agrees to carry out the reprogramming, the warranty rights set out in clause 9 above shall only apply to the software or products (e.g. cables, if needed) that are newly purchased as part of the reprogramming.

Furthermore, the limitation periods for the products already purchased by you shall not restart due to the reprogramming. In all other respects, your rights shall remain unaffected.
