10.6. Warranty

COMPANY-supplied parts or equipment (“equipment”) is covered by warranty for inherently faulty parts and workmanship for a warranty period as stated in the delivery documentation from the date of dispatch to the customer. The warranty does not cover custom modifications to software. During the warranty period COMPANY shall, on its option, fit, repair or replace (“service”) faulty equipment, always provided that malfunction has occurred during normal use, not due to improper use, whether deliberate or accidental, such as attempted repair or modification by any unauthorised person; nor due to the action of abnormal or extreme environmental conditions such as overvoltage, liquid immersion or lightning strike.

Any equipment subject to repair under warranty must be returned by prepaid freight to COMPANY direct. The serviced equipment shall be returned by COMPANY to the customer by prepaid freight. If circumstances do not permit the equipment to be returned to COMPANY, then the customer is liable and agrees to reimburse COMPANY for expenses incurred by COMPANY during servicing the equipment on site. When equipment does not qualify for servicing under warranty, COMPANY shall charge the customer and be reimbursed for costs incurred for parts and labour at prevailing rates.

This warranty agreement represents the full extent of the warranty cover provided by COMPANY to the customer, as an agreement freely entered into by both parties.

COMPANY warrants the equipment to function as described, without guaranteeing it as befitting customer intent or purpose. Under no circumstances shall COMPANY‘s liability extend beyond the above, nor shall COMPANY, its principals, servants or agents be liable for any consequential loss or damage caused directly or indirectly through the use, misuse, function or malfunction of the equipment, always subject to such statutory protection as may explicitly and unavoidably apply hereto.
