stable films
3. Scope of warranty
a) Material or production defects
The warrants that no damage will occur to the films during the term of
the warranty due to material or production defects. Damage to the film is defined as a
reduction of the film’s mechanical technical values of less than 50% of the initial
value. The initial values are stated in the data sheets for the respective film type.
b) UV damage
Claims submitted within the warranty term for other damage (tears, white fractures
etc.) to the material will only be accepted if it is proven that the damage was caused
by UV exposure. Premature UV damage occurs when the material loses more than
50% of the guaranteed mechanical values within the warranty term, i.e. the film tears
in various places, whereby the edge of the tear is fragile and brittle.
c) Warranty exclusion
Warranty exclusion applies to material damage caused by external influences,
particularly:
-
Hail, storm or other incidents of force majeure
-
Animals, plant contact, deposits
-
Incorrect unfolding or installation of the film (particularly installation on supporting
structures, e.g. structures with residual burrs or attachment to wooden structures)
-
Scratches and tears due to uneven and sharp
-
edged structural parts
-
Use of unsuitable mounting materials such as nails or unsuitable retaining ropes
-
Damage caused by overstretching, tears, scratching as a result of the incorrect
covering of the supporting structure with the film or handling of the film. (Please refer
to the separate installation and care instructions which are supplied with every roll of
film).
d) Warranty exclusion in case of use of chemical agents
Unless otherwise stated, the greenhouse films have a S/CL res istance of 500 ppm
and 100 ppm respectively.
The warranty will expire in the following cases:
-
Influence on the film by chemical compounds such as: pesticides, herbicides,
insecticides etc. containing the following chemical elements:
S, CU, AS, HG, TI, F, BR, I
-
Paints which are not acrylic or vinyl- based
-
Heat damage on unprotected contact points on the greenhouse structure
