WARRANTY

The Company’s liability is defined as follows

The Company shall be under no liability under the agreed warranty until the total price of the goods has been paid in full. In no circumstances shall the Company’s liability to the customer exceed the price paid for the goods with respect to which a claim is made. In the event the customer experiences any defect in manufacture the following will apply.

The Company will replace without charge any goods supplied by them that in the Company’s opinion is defective. This warranty only applies to the original consumer purchaser and providing that the goods have been installed by a qualified and competent person and in accordance with any installation instructions given by the Company. The warranty only applies to the original installation and will not be covered if the goods have been removed to another installation. The goods must have been cleaned in accordance with any instructions given by the Company. The warranty only covers domestic use in a private residence. The warranty shall not apply if the goods have been damaged due to misuse or negligence by the customer in any way. If the customer needs to make a claim this should be done in the first instance to the original point of purchase. A proof of this purchase by the way of a receipt will be required. Replacement of any goods under this warranty will exclude transportation, any labour costs for removal and or re-installation and does not cover any direct or indirect or consequential losses caused by the defective product. The Company will not be liable for any of the following.

LIABILITY

The Customers exclusive remedy for defective products shall be for reasonable direct costs and the Company’s total liability for any and all losses and damages arising out of any cause whatsoever (whether such cause be based on contract, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise) shall in no event exceed the purchase cost of the Goods, which for the avoidance of doubt does not equal the total project value, in respect to which such cause arises or, at the option of the Company, the replacement of such products;  in no event shall the Company be liable for incidental, consequential or punitive damages resulting from any such cause.

In the event that the Goods are based on a design supplied by either party, the other party shall be fully indemnified in respect of all actions, suits, claims, demands, costs, charges or expenses arising from any claim by a third party in respect of such Goods (whether such claim relates to intellectual property rights, infringement, personal injury or otherwise) to the extent that the actions, claims, demands, costs, charges or expenses relate to the design of the Goods.

All recommendations and advice given by or on behalf of the Company to the Customer as to the suitability of using the Goods in any manufacturing process or in connection with any other materials are given without liability on the part of the Company.

The Company makes no representation or warranty that use of the Goods does not infringe the rights of any third party and the Company accepts no liability in this respect.

TERMINATION

Should the Customer make default in any payment or otherwise be in breach of its obligations to the Company under the Contract or under any other contract with the Company or clause 8.5 becomes applicable, the Company may, by notice in writing to the Customer, without prejudice to any other rights, forthwith suspend or cancel any uncompleted part of the Contract or stop any Goods in transit or require payment in advance or satisfactory security for further deliveries under the Contract.

FORCE MAJEURE

The Company shall not be liable to the Customer for any loss or damage caused to or suffered by the Customer as a direct or indirect result of the supply of the Goods by the Company being prevented, restricted, hindered or delayed by reason of any circumstances outside the control of the Company including, without limitation, fire, flood, labour dispute, breakdown of machinery, shortage of labour or raw materials and/or damage to or destruction of the Goods and the Company shall be at liberty to suspend or cancel any affected orders for Goods without liability.

WAIVER

The failure of the Company to insist upon the strict performance of any of the terms and conditions of the Contract shall not be construed as a waiver of any such term or condition and shall in no way affect the Company’s right to enforce such provision later.

SEVERABILITY

If any of the terms and conditions of the Contract (or part thereof) shall be found to be invalid, ineffective or unenforceable, the invalidity, ineffectiveness or unenforceability of such term or condition (or part thereof) shall not affect any other term or condition (or the other part of the term or condition of which such invalid, ineffective or unenforceable part forms part) and all terms and conditions (or parts thereof) not affected by such invalidity, ineffectiveness or unenforceability shall remain in full force and effect.

GOVERNING LAW
