A.C. GENERATOR WARRANTY

WARRANTY PERIOD

A.C. Generators

In respect of a.c. generators the Warranty Period is eighteen months from
the date when the goods have been notified as ready for despatch by N.I.
or twelve months from the date of first commissioning (whichever is the
shorter period).

DEFECTS AFTER DELIVERY

We will make good by repair or, at our option, by the supply of a
replacement, any fault which under proper use appears in the goods within
the period specified on Clause 12, and is found on examination by us to be
solely due to defective material and workmanship; provided that the
defective part is promptly returned, carriage paid, with all identification
numbers and marks intact, or our works or, if appropriate to the Dealer who
supplied the goods.

Any part repaired or replaced, under warranty, will be returned by N.I. free
of harge (via sea freight if outside the UK).

We shall not be liable for any expenses which may be incurred in removing
or replacing any part sent to us for inspection or in fitting any replacement
supplied by us. We shall be under no liability for defects in any goods
which have not been properly installed in accordance with N.I.
recommended installation practices as detailed in the publications 'N.I.
Installation, Service and Maintenance Manual' and 'N.I. Application
Guidelines', or which have been improperly stored or which have been
repaired, adjusted or altered by any person except ourselves or our
authorised agents, or in any second-hand goods, proprietary articles or
goods not of our own manufacture although supplied by us, such articles
and goods being covered by the warranty (if any) given by the separate
manufacturers.

Any claim under this clause must contain fully particulars of the alleged
defect, the description of the goods, the date of purchase, and the name
and address of the Vendor, the Serial Number (as shown on the
manufacturers identification plate) or for Spares the order reference under
which the goods were supplied.

Our judgement in all cases of claims shall be final and conclusive and the
claimant shall accept our decision on all questions as to defects and the
exchange of a part or parts.

Our liability shall be fully discharged by either repair or replacement as
above, and in any event shall not exceed the current list price of the
defective goods.

Our liability under this clause shall be in lieu of any warranty or condition
implied by law as to the quality or fitness for any particular purpose of the
goods, and save as expressly provided in this clause we shall not be under
any liability, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, in respect of defects in
goods delivered or for any injury, damages or loss resulting from such
defects or from any work undone in connection therewith.
