Respect the directives of the industrial accident prevention organisations such as, in France, the Caisse Régionale

Scrupulously respect all information in the sections concerning the CONDITIONS OF USE (section §1) and the WORK
ROPE (section §8.5.4).

3 – Warranty
Our electric winches are guaranteed for 2 years from the date of shipment (ex-works).
The seller undertakes to repair any operating fault resulting from a fault in the design, execution, components or
materials themselves.
The warranty does not cover wear and tear or damage resulting from a lack of regular or periodic maintenance. It does
not cover damage resulting from a lack of supervision, incorrect handling or an incorrect use of the machines, in
particular overloading, pulling at an angle, under or overvoltage or incorrect connection.
The warranty does not apply to any disassembly, modification or replacement of mechanical or electrical parts
undertaken without our agreement or by a non-approved operator. The warranty only applies to the manufacturer's
original spare parts. During the warranty period, the seller must replace or repair any parts recognised as faulty after
inspection by the qualified and approved department, all free of charge.
The warranty excludes all other services or compensation.
Repairs undertaken within the scope of the warranty are, in principle, performed in the seller's workshops or the
workshop of a representative approved by the manufacturer. When work is carried out on the equipment outside of
their workshops, the seller must cover the labour costs related to the disassembly or reassembly of these parts if these
operations are performed exclusively by their personnel or a representative approved by the manufacturer. The parts
replaced become the property of the seller and must be returned to them at their own expense.
In the case of components with a particular relative importance not manufactured by the seller themselves and which
bear the brand of a specialist manufacturer, the warranty, which may vary according to the manufacturer, is the same
as that agreed by this manufacturer.
