TERMS AND C
ONDITIONS

We will either extend to the purchaser the same terms of warranty as we are given by the manufacturer of the
component or if the manufacturer does not give any warranty, replace free of charge any component which
becomes defective within two years after the date of the delivery by us and is returned to us at the purchaser’s
expense but we shall not meet the cost of removal or shipping or return of the component or any other cost
charges or damages incurred by the purchaser.
If the appliance manufactured by Gledhill incorporates a factory fitted scale inhibitor then during the period
of three years from the date of delivery Gledhill will replace, free of charge, any plate heat exchanger fitted in
