12.0 WARRANTY

 

 

NOVATEC, INC. - EFFECTIVE DATE 1 APRIL 2019

 

NOVATEC, INC. offers COMPREHENSIVE PRODUCT WARRANTIES on

 

all of our plastics auxiliary equipment. We warrant each NOVATEC  
manufactured product to be free from defects in materials and 
workman- ship, under normal use and service for the periods listed 

under “Warranty Periods”. 

The obligation of Novatec, under this 

warranty, is limited to repairing or furnishing, without charge, a similar 
part to replace any part which fails under normal use due to a material 
or workmanship defect, within its respective warranty period. It is the 

purchaser’s responsibility to provide Novatec with immediate written 

notice of any such suspect- ed defect. Warranted replacement parts are 
billed and shipped freight pre-paid. The purchaser must return the 
suspect defective part, freight prepaid and with identifying 
documentation to receive full credit for

 

the part returned. Novatec shall not be held liable for damages or delay 
caused by defects. No allowance will be made for repairs or alterations 
without the written consent or approval of Novatec.

 

The provisions in equipment specifications are descriptive, unless 
expressly stated as warranties. The liability of Novatec to the purchaser, 
except as to title, arising out of the supplying of the said equipment, or

 

its use, whether based upon warranty, contract or negligence, shall not 
in any case exceed the cost of correcting defects in the equipment as 
herein provided. All such liability shall terminate upon the expiration 
of said warranty periods. Novatec shall not in any event be held liable 
for any special, indirect or consequential damages. Commodities not 
manufactured by Novatec are warranted and guaranteed to Novatec 
by the original manufacturer and then only to the extent that Novatec 
is able to enforce such warranty or guaranty. Novatec, Inc. has not au-

 

thorized anyone to make any warranty or representation other than the 
warranty contained here. Non-payment of invoice beyond 90 days will 
invalidate the warranty. A renewed warranty can be purchased directly 
from Novatec.

 

Please note that we always strive to satisfy our customers in whatever 
manner is deemed most expedient to overcome any issues in connec- 
tion with our equipment.

 

Warranty Periods:

ment to the customer.
