Section 9. Conditions of warranty
COMMERCIAL WARRANTY
Your unit is covered by a commercial warranty granted by
SDMO Industries
. This warranty must be applied by the distributor from
which you purchased your unit, in accordance with the following provisions:
TERM:
The warranty for your unit is valid for a period or 24 months or 1000 operating hours, from the date of purchase. It applies to
whichever of these thresholds is reached first. If the unit does not have a working hours counter, the number of operating hours will
be deemed to be four (4) hours per day.
TERMS FOR APPLICATION OF THE WARRANTY:
The warranty starts on the date the unit was purchased by the first user. This warranty is transferred with the unit if the first user
chooses to transfer it, either free or for a charge; it is valid for the remaining duration of the initial warranty, which cannot be
extended.
The warranty only applies upon presentation of a legible purchase invoice, which states the date of purchase, the unit type, the
serial number, and the name, address and commercial stamp of the distributor.
SDMO Industries
reserves the right to refuse to
honour the warranty in the absence of documentary evidence of the date and place of purchase of the unit. This warranty entitles
the holder to the repair or replacement of the unit or its components, if deemed to be defective by
SDMO Industries
after expert
analysis in its workshops;
SDMO Industries
reserves the right to modify the equipment on the unit to meet its obligations. The unit
or components replaced under warranty become the property of
SDMO Industries

and in the event of any operating defect with the unit, caused by a fault with the design, manufacture or material.
SDMO Industries
does not guarantee the performance capabilities of the unit, or its operation or reliability if it is used for specific purposes. Under no
circumstances can
SDMO Industries
be held responsible for any consequential loss, whether or not arising out of material damage,
which includes but is not limited to the following: Any operating losses, costs or expenses resulting from unavailability of the unit,
