Warranty means that faulty parts are repaired or replaced
free of charge. If necessary the whole generator unit will
be exchanged. Labour necessary to complete repairs on
board a vessel executed by an authorized service
engineer is covered, but is limited to a reasonable number
of hours and reasonable rates in relation to the actual
repair work that has to be done.
Travel expenses and travel hours are not covered. Also
not covered is the labour required to take a generator out
of a boat or for reinstallation. There is no cover for labour
needed to get access to the generator, for example to
remove equipment or bulkheads etc.
Goods to be delivered under warrantee will be invoiced.
Only after the faulty goods are returned will the invoice be
credited. Payment in advance may be required or
guaranteed by credit card. If after the faulty goods are
returned, it is indicated that the failure was not covered by
warranty a credit will not be issued. For example if a
Printed Circuit Board is returned with clear damage
caused by seawater, warranty will be refused.
Freight costs to deliver spares by normal mail or carriers is
covered under warranty. Special services like express
mail, overnight delivery etc. are not covered. Taxes and
duties are not covered. For shipments to remote off shore
areas any additional costs incurred over normal carriage
will be invoiced to the customer.
The cost for returning faulty goods is not covered under
warranty.
Additional agreements could be part of the contract of
delivery.
If any problem arises which could be subject of guarantee,
procedures should be followed as described in the
guarantee certificate, unauthorised repairs could lead to
further damage and violate the guarantee conditions.
