Where a Water Tank is repaired or replaced in accordance with this warranty, the
warranty shall apply only for the remainder of the original warranty period.
Conditions, Exclusions & Limitations
7.
Subject to these Warranty Terms & Conditions, the warranty will be valid provided
the following conditions are met:
a.
Kingspan is notified within 1 month of the fault being reasonably detectable
and the Water Tank still being within its warranty period;
b.
the Customer can produce reasonable evidence of purchase of the Water Tank
and that it was manufactured by Kingspan;
c.
the Pad on which the Water Tank is installed has been properly prepared in
accordance with Kingspan’s Pad Preparation Requirements. Note: this includes
the correct application of blue metal around the base of the Water Tank
subsequent to its installation;
d.
the Water Tank was installed in its current location by Kingspan or its
Contractor;
e.
the Water Tank has been maintained in accordance with Kingspan Rhino’s
Water Tank Owner’s Manual. It is especially important that maintenance
procedures are adequate to prevent pad degradation, the tank being empty of
water for more than a short period and sacrificial anode depletion. Evidence of
anode replacement, including dated invoices or receipts, may be requested by
Kingspan when assessing the validity of a warranty claim;
f.
the Water Tank has always been fitted with an appropriate roof, installed by
Kingspan or its Contractor; and
g.
Kingspan has received the full purchase price for the Water Tank.
8.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Warranty will not apply in the following cases:
a.
the Water Tank has been used for storage of products other than:
i.
rainwater or other forms of raw water;
ii.
bore water; or
iii.
mains water (with a chlorine content of less than 5PPM).
The warranty will specifically be voided if the Water Tank has been used to
store treated water – including desalinated/reverse osmosis water – where the
Customer has not first obtained Kingspan’s written agreement that the water
composition is suitable;
b.
accidental or malicious damage caused by tampering, negligence, abuse or
misuse of the Water Tank;
c.
damage reasonably caused by any additions to, or modifications of, the Water
Tank not effected by Kingspan or its Contractor or effected without Kingspan’s
prior written approval;
d.
degradation of the tank pad caused by (but not limited to) settlement or
erosion;
e.
damage caused by vegetation, roots, vermin, pest or livestock (and any other
animals);
f.
damage caused by chemical corrosion;
g.
damage caused by long term unreported leakage;
