Warranty
Terms: Unless otherwise stated, Waratah New Zealand
Limited (‘Waratah’) warrants each new attachment to be
free of failure caused by defective material or workmanship
for a period of one (1) year or two thousand (2000) hours,
whichever first occurs, following date of delivery of the
product to the original retail customer (user).
Warranty coverage for parts on Waratah’s forestry
attachments is for 12 months from the date of installation
by a Waratah-approved dealer, or 180 days from the date
of delivery if the customer buys the part over the counter.
Interruptions: Only one warranty interruption, lasting no
more than six (6) months, will be accepted during the
warranty period.
Validity: To validate this warranty, attachment installation
must be done by an authorised dealer on a carrier that
meets Waratah’s specifications, prescribed pre-delivery
and start-up inspections must be completed, and the
customer must complete, sign, and submit a Warranty
Registration Form to the selling Waratah Distribution
Centre (WDC).
Obligations: Waratah’s sole obligation under this
warranty is limited to repairs of failures due to faulty
workmanship, or the repair or replacement of defective
parts. These actions are without charge, whether in the
field, or at Waratah’s factory, warehouse, or an approved
repair shop. Return freight of parts must be pre-paid
by the user. Waratah is not responsible for any costs
associated with the delivery of an attachment or its parts
for repairs, or any costs associated with the delivery of
parts to make repairs.
Exceptions: This warranty does not apply to software.
It does not apply to maintenance items used in service
(such as lubricating oils and filters) and consumable parts
(such as blades and saw chains). It does not apply to
products that show evidence of neglect, overload, abuse,
accident, or unauthorised alteration. It does not apply
to products that are inadequately maintained or used
for other than their designated purposes, as defined in
Waratah’s technical and marketing publications.
Annulment: This warranty shall be void if Waratah
determines that the attachment’s performance or reliability
is adversely affected by 1) repairs or alterations to the
product made by persons or firms not approved by
Waratah, or 2) installation of the product on a machine
or by persons or firms not approved by Waratah, 3)
replacement parts that are not genuine Waratah parts,
or 4) failure to follow prescribed processes in Waratah
manuals or on Waratah product safety labels.
Waratah hereby disclaims liability on its part for damages,
whether general, special, or arising through negligence,
and expressly including any incidental and consequential
damages. Waratah’s obligation to repair or replace is the
limit of its liability under this warranty, and the user’s sole
right and remedy.
This warranty is expressly in lieu of all other
warranties, express or implied, written or oral, and
including, without limitation, any implied warranties
of merchantability or fitness for purpose.
This warranty may not be changed, altered, or modified in
any way except in writing by Waratah.
Avoid Unauthorised Machine Modifications
Changes of any kind to this Waratah product, including
the fitting of any unauthorised attachments, could affect
the integrity of the product, or its ability to perform as
designed or intended.
No changes should be made to any Waratah
product, including deletions or additions other than a
Waratah-approved option fitted in the factory-approved
manner.
Options or changes are only officially approved in the
following form:
•
Standard options for that product shown or listed on
a current printed specifications sheet, price list, parts
manual, or product literature issued by Waratah.
•
No other person is authorised to give such approval.
Waratah disclaims responsibility for any situation arising
as a result of unauthorised change to its product, such as
the use of a non-approved saw bar or chain-tensioner
installed on a Waratah harvester head. If any person or
organisation modifies or contributes in any way to an
unauthorised modification, the person or organisation will
be deemed to have assumed the risk involved with such
modification, and may be deemed negligent in creating a
dangerous situation resulting from such action.
Where changes are made without Waratah’s official
approval, and Waratah becomes involved in a suit arising
out of such change, Waratah will protect its interest by
taking appropriate action.
Failure to adhere to this policy nullifies and voids the
product’s warranty, as well as the certification on any safety
items installed on the modified machine or attachment.
Non-approved product changes also nullify warranties
given to Waratah by its component manufacturers.
