10.

  The return of any Products without the prior written instructions of REDARC will not be 

accepted by REDARC.

11.

  Without limiting any other clause in this Warranty, REDARC has the right to reject any

 the Purchaser does not notify REDARC in writing of a Warranty claim within the Warranty

relevant), and that proper maintenance has been performed on the Product, by, or under 

the supervision of, a qualified auto electrician or technician, in accordance with the 

instructions of REDARC.

12. 

If the Product is found to be working satisfactorily on return to REDARC or upon 

investigation by REDARC, the Purchaser must pay REDARC’s reasonable costs of testing 

and investigating the Product in addition to shipping and transportation charges. Where 

REDARC is in possession of the Product, the Product will be returned to the Purchaser on

  REDARC may, in exercise of its sole discretion, deliver another type of Product or 

component of a Product (different in size, color, shape, weight, brand and/or other 

specifications) in fulfilling its obligations under this Warranty, in the event that REDARC 

has discontinued manufacturing or supplying the relevant Product or component, so long 

as the replacement Product or component performs at substantially the same level and 

carries out substantially the same function as the Product or component being replaced.

Other conditions of Warranty

15.

  If the Purchaser acquired a Product for the purpose of resupply, then this Warranty shall 

not apply to that Product. In particular, the sale of a Product via an online auction, online 

store or other internet website by a party that is not an authorized distributor or reseller 

of the Product will be deemed to be a resupply and will render this Warranty void.

16.

  A Purchaser shall only be entitled to the benefit of this Warranty after all amounts owing 

in respect of the Product have been paid.

17.

  To the maximum extent permitted by law, REDARC does not warrant that the operation of 

the Products will be uninterrupted or error-free.

18.

  To the maximum extent permitted by law, REDARC’s determination of the existence of 

any defect and the cause of any defect will be conclusive.

19.

  The agents, officers and employees of any distributor or reseller of the Products and of 

REDARC are not authorized to vary or extend the terms of this Warranty.

20.

  REDARC shall not be responsible or liable to the Customer or any third party in 

connection with any non-performance or delay in performance of any terms and 

conditions of this Warranty, due to acts of God, war, riots, strikes, warlike conditions, 

plague or other epidemic, fire, flood, blizzard, hurricane, changes of public policies, 

terrorism and other events which are beyond the control of REDARC. In such 

circumstances, REDARC may suspend performance of this Warranty without liability for 

the period of the delay reasonably attributable to such causes.

21.  Except for the foregoing Warranty, there are no other representations, conditions 

or warranties express or implied with respect to the Products, including 

representations, conditions or warranties of merchantability, fitness for a 

particular purpose or non-infringement which conditions, representations and 

warranties are expressly disclaimed, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

22.

  REDARC reserves the right to use new, reconditioned, refurbished, repaired or re-

manufactured products or parts in the repair or replacement of any Product covered by 

this Warranty.

23.

  If a clause or part of a clause in this Warranty can be read in a way that makes it illegal, 

unenforceable or invalid, but can also be read in a way that makes it legal, enforceable 

and valid, it must be read in the latter way. If any clause or part of a clause in this 

Warranty is illegal, unenforceable or invalid, that clause or part is to be treated as 

removed from this Warranty, but the rest of this Warranty is not affected.

25. 

  REDARC reserves the right to modify this Warranty from time to time and any 

modifications shall be effective for all orders placed on or after the effective date of such 

revised warranty.

 

Some states, provinces or territories do not allow exclusion or limitation of certain types 

of damages, or permit limitations on the length of implied warranties, so certain of these 

warranty limitations may not apply to the Purchaser. This Warranty gives the Purchaser 

specific legal rights.  The Purchaser may also have other rights which vary from state to 

state, province to province or territory to territory.  If any term of this Warranty is held to 

be illegal or unenforceable, the legality and enforceability of the remaining terms shall 

not be effected or impaired. This Warranty allocates risk of Product failure between the 

Purchaser and REDARC, and REDARC’s Product pricing reflects this allocation of risk and 

the limitations of liability contained in this Warranty.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL REDARC’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF 

OR IN CONNECTION WITH A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT, IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, 

EXCEED THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE PRODUCT TO WHICH SUCH LIABILITY RELATES.
