All service work, particularly filter 

changes, must be carried out in accordance with the manufacturer’s service schedule.  

Failure to comply will invalidate the warranty. In the event of a claim, proof of the service work being carried out may be 
required. 

 

Repeat or additional repairs resulting from incorrect diagnosis or poor quality previous repair work are excluded from 
warranty. 

 

NB Warranty cover will be invalid if any non-genuine parts have been fitted or used. Use of non-genuine parts 
may seriously affect the machine’s performance and safety. Spearhead cannot be held responsible for any 
failures or safety implications that arise due to the use of non-genuine parts. 

 

9.1.3  Remedies and procedures 

 

The warranty is not effective unless the Selling Dealer registers the machine, via the Spearhead web site and confirms 
the registration to the purchaser by completing the confirmation form in 

the operator’s manual. 

 
Any fault must be reported to an authorised Spearhead dealer as soon as it occurs. Continued use of a machine, after 
a fault has occurred, can result in further component failure for which Spearhead cannot be held liable. 
 
Repairs should be undertaken within two days of the failure. Claims submitted for repairs undertaken more than 2 
weeks after a failure has occurred, or 2 days after the parts were supplied will be rejected, unless the delay has been 
authorised by Spearhead.  Please note that failure by the customer to release the machine for repair will not be 
accepted as a reason for delay in repair or submitting warranty claims. 
 
All claims must be submitted, by an authorised Spearhead Service Dealer, within 30 days of the date of repair. 
 
Following examination of the claim and parts, Spearhead will pay, at their discretion, for any valid claim the invoiced 
cost of any parts supplied by Spearhead and appropriate labour and mileage allowances if applicable. 
 
The submission of a claim is not a guarantee of payment. 
 
Any decision reached by Spearhead is final. 

 

9.1.4 

Limitation of liability 

 

Spearhead disclaims any express (except as set forth herein) and implied warranties with respect to the goods 
including, but not limited to, merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. 

 

Spearhead makes no warranty as to the design, capability, capacity or suitability for use of the goods. 

 

Except as provided herein, Spearhead shall have no liability or responsibility to the purchaser or any other person or 
entity with respect to any liability, loss, or damage caused or alleged to be caused directly or indirectly by the goods 
including, but not limited to, any indirect, special, consequential, or incidental damages resulting from the use or 
operation of the goods or any breach of this warranty. Notwithstanding the above limitations and warranties, the 
manufacturer’s liability hereunder for damages incurred by the purchaser or others shall not exceed the price of the 
goods. 

 

No action arising out of any claimed breach of this warranty or transactions under this warranty may be brought more 
than one (1) year after the cause of the action has occurred. 

 

9.1.5 

Miscellaneous 

 

Spearhead may waive compliance with any of the terms of this limited warranty, but no waiver of any terms shall be 
deemed to be a waiver of any other term. 
 
If any provision of this limited warranty shall violate any applicable law and is held to be unenforceable, then the 
invalidity of such provision shall not invalidate any other provisions herein.
