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 36 months or 2000 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 eight (8) 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.
LIMITATION OF THE WARRANTY:
The warranty applies to units installed, used or maintained in accordance with the documentation provided by 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,
etc. The warranty is limited to the cost related to the repair or replacement of the unit or one of its components, excluding
consumables. The warranty therefore covers the costs of parts and labour, excluding travel costs. The cost of transporting the unit
or one of its components to the workshops of SDMO INDUSTRIES or one of its approved agents shall be borne by the Customer;
the "return" transport costs shall be borne by SDMO Industries. However, in the event that the warranty does not apply, all transport
costs shall be borne by the Customer.
CASES OF EXCLUSION FROM THE WARRANTY:
Warranty exclusion applies in the following cases: damage resulting from transporting the unit; incorrect installation or installation
not complying with SDMO Industries recommendations and/or technical and safety standards; use of non-recommended products,
components, replacement parts, fuel or lubricants; incorrect use or misuse of the unit; modification or conversion of the unit or any
of its components not authorized by SDMO Industries; normal wear and tear of the unit or of one of its components; damage due to
negligence, failure to monitor, service or clean the unit; force majeure, acts of God or other external causes (natural disaster, fire,
impact, flooding, lightning, etc.); operation of the unit with insufficient load; inadequate storage conditions of the unit. The following
components are also excluded from the warranty: the starter systems (batteries, starter motors, starter), the filters, the belts, the
fuses, the switches, the lamps, the commutators, and all consumables and wearing parts.
