2.a CONDITION OF LIMITED WARRANTY
Our liability in respect of any defect claim, or operational failure of equipment or components supplied by us shall be strictly limited to making good, by repair, or replacement, at our discretion, and at our works, any such defect as may prove to our satisfaction to have resulted from faulty manufacture, materials or workmanship, but does not include freight charges, labor costs and travel expenses incurred by the Company on warranty work or any other work related to the failure of the machine.
All parts claimed to be defective are to be returned at the buyer’s risk and freight paid to the Company.
This warranty does not extend to any losses or damages due to misuse, accident, neglect, normal wear and tear, negligence (other than Seller’s), unauthorized modification or alteration, use beyond rated capacity, unsuitable power sources or environmental conditions, improper installation, repair, handling, maintenance or application or any other cause not the fault of the seller. To the extent, that buyer has supplied specifications, information, representation of operating conditions, or other data to the seller in the selection or design of the Goods and the preparation of the seller’s quotation, and in the event that actual operating conditions or other conditions differ from those represented by the buyer, any warranties or other provisions contained herein which are affected by such conditions shall be null and void.
The Company’s warranty does not cover consequential damages resulting from the failure of parts or equipment or subsequent expenses or losses. Warranty work does not assure the uninterrupted operation of equipment.
This warranty is extended by the Company only to the original/first buyer of Finpower equipment from the Company and may not be transferred to any other person/organization.
The conditions of this warranty further exclude us from direct liability for components or parts manufactured by others that are warranted only to the extent of the original manufacturer’s warranty to the Company.
All materials returned on warranty claim must be suitably labeled and identified with the actual date of installation indicated, and freight paid by the customer.
Repeat Warranty Component/Equipment Failures: All repeat product failures must be returned to the company by the buyer. Requests for inspection approval must be made prior to warranty submission and is the responsibility of the returning buyer to make every reasonable effort in identifying such claims. If upon inspection no manufacturing defect is found, the warranty claim will be denied and an “Inspection” charge will be applied.
The installation has to be certified by Finpower at the time of startup in order to claim the components/compressor during the warranty period.
Do not return units. Only defective compressors and components should be returned. Condensing units are warranted for a period of 12 months from the date of installation or 18 months from the date of delivery for replacement of parts and 60 months for compressor from the date of delivery.
The company will not be liable for any repairs, replacements or adjustments, or any costs of labor performed by the buyer or any third party without the Company’s prior written approval.

Deliveries or other performance may be suspended for an appropriate period of time or canceled by Seller upon notice to Buyer in the event of any of the foregoing, but the balance of the agreement shall otherwise remain unaffected. If Seller determines that his ability to supply the total demand for the Goods, or to obtain material used directly or indirectly in the manufacture of the Goods, is hindered, limited, or made impracticable due to causes set forth herein, Seller may allocate its available supply of the Goods or such material (without obligation to acquire other supplies of any such Goods or materials) among itself and its purchasers on such basis as Seller determines to be equitable without liability for any failure of performance which may result therefrom.
