3 WARRANTY
Sonardyne International Ltd warrants, subject to the following conditions, upon the return of the goods to its
works or with prior approval to a local agent, carriage paid, to examine it or them and should any fault due to
defective design, material or workmanship be found, to repair the defective part or parts or, at its own
discretion, to supply a new part or parts in place of the same free-of-charge.
Any claim under this warranty must be lodged in writing with Sonardyne within twelve months and the part or
parts returned to Sonardyne within thirteen months of the commencement of the warranty. The warranty will
commence upon the commissioning or putting into service of the equipment or one month from shipment
from Sonardyne, whichever is the sooner.
No claim can be accepted for damage due to fair wear and tear, misuse, neglect, dirt, accident, overloading,
or other similar causes, and Sonardyne International Ltd judgement in all matters relating to claim shall be
final and conclusive and the buyer agrees to accept Sonardyne International Ltd decision on all questions as
to defects and as to the exchange of any part or parts.
Goods supplied to buyer's drawings or designs are not warranted by Sonardyne International Ltd to be fit for
any particular purpose.
The foregoing warranty is rendered void in any of the following circumstances:
a) If any seal, safety device, identification, or instruction plates are deliberately broken or removed
from the goods.
b) If any pressure housing has been opened.
c) If the goods are worked beyond their rated capacity.
d) If any parts or accessories other than those approved by Sonardyne International Ltd, have
been fitted to the goods.
These contractual warranties are in addition to and shall not be construed to modify or limit in any manner
any rights or actions which the buyer may otherwise have against Sonardyne by law or statue, or in equity.
In the event that agreement cannot be reached the matter will be placed in the hands of an independent
arbitrator appointed by the London Chamber of Commerce whose decision shall be binding on both parties.
