Warranty

 

Warranty period is one year.  The warranty commences on the date of delivery of the equipment to the purchaser. 

APPI warrants to the Purchaser that the equipment is free from defects in workmanship or material under normal use and service.
During the warranty period, APPI agrees to repair or replace, at its sole option, without charge to Purchaser, any defective
component part of the equipment.  To obtain service, Purchaser must return the equipment or component to APPI or an
authorized APPI distributor or service representative in an adequate container for shipping. Any shipping charges, insurance, or
other fees must be paid by Purchaser and all risk for the equipment shall remain with Purchaser until such time as APPI takes
receipt of the equipment.  Upon receipt, APPI, the authorized distributor or service representative will promptly repair or repl ace
the defective component and then return the equipment or component to Purchaser, shipping charges, insurance and additional
fees prepaid. APPI may use reconditioned or like new parts or units, at its sole option, when repairing any component or
equipment.  

Repaired products shall carry the same amount of outstanding warranty as from original purchase.  Any claim under the warranty
must include a dated proof of delivery.  In any event, APPI's liability for defective components or equipment is limited to
repairing or replacing the components. 

This warranty is contingent upon proper use of the equipment by Purchaser and does not cover:  expendable component parts
such as load cells, rollers, bushings,  and the like; or if damage is due to accident, unusual physical, electrical or mechanica l
stress, neglect, misuse, failure of electric power, improper environmental conditions, transportation, tampering with or alterin g of
the equipment, packaging of corrosive or contaminating products or other products damaging to components, and equipment or
components not owned or in the possession of original Purchaser. 

APPI will not be liable for loss of production, profits, lost savings, special,  incidental, consequential, indirect or other si milar
damages arising from breach of warranty, breach of contract, negligence, or their legal action even if APPI or its agent has bee n
advised of the possibility of such damages or for any claim brought against the Purchaser by another party.

This warranty allocates risks of equipment failure between Purchaser and APPI.   APPI's pricing reflects this allocation of risk
and the limitations of liability contained in this warranty.  The warranty set forth above is in lieu of all other express warra nties,
whether oral or written.   The agents, employees, distributors and dealers of APPI are not authorized to make modifications to
this warranty,  or additional warranties binding on APPI.  Accordingly, additional statements such as dealer advertising or
presentations, whether oral or written, do not constitute warranties by APPI and should not be relied upon.
