TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE


These terms and conditions apply to the sale of a customized product, built according to customer specifications, as well as to the sale of Trolec's mass-manufactured products.

LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY


Trolec guarantees its customers that each and every product itemized in the customer order and/or tender, and manufactured by Trolec, will be free from defects in materials and/or workmanship for a period of one year from the date when the product has left our factory.

Trolec's liability in relation to this warranty does not extend to dismantling, installing or reinstalling; it will be limited to the repair or replacement of the defective item, as decided by Trolec, within a reasonable time after receiving a customer's written notice proving that the product has been delivered within the one-year period stipulated herein, identifying the alleged defect that would have appeared during such period. The warranty will only apply if the client's notice to Trolec was sent immediately upon customer's detection of the defect, and received by Trolec within one year of delivery.

To determine the nature of the defect, Trolec reserves the right to request and inspect the defective item. If the defect cannot be detected visually, the item must be returned to the Trolec factory via prepaid shipping. If Trolec, at its sole discretion, determines that the item is truly defective, shipping charges for the replacement of said item are the responsibility of Trolec.

Trolec will bear no liability for the deterioration of paint or finishes caused by circumstances beyond its control including, but not limited to, weather conditions, abrasion, corrosion, misuse or normal aging of the product. The customer also recognizes that Trolec cannot be held responsible for any other damage caused by circumstances over which it has no control.

Trolec makes no warranty with respect to products which, although appearing on customer orders or tenders, are not manufactured by Trolec, but by other companies, subject to warranties granted to Trolec by said companies as they relate to these products.

Under no circumstances may Trolec be held liable for indirect damages related to non-compliance with the warranties set out above. Trolec makes no other warranties, express or implied, including, without limitation, warranties of fitness for any particular purpose or merchantability, beyond what is contained herein.

This warranty will be deemed void if the product is modified or used in a manner contrary to specifications and/or to the installation instructions provided by Trolec.

Trolec assumes no liability other than that detailed above, and no one is authorized to extend the scope of said warrantees on Trolec's behalf.

Claims related to mistakes, imperfections, non-compliance with technical drawings, incomplete deliveries, or for any shipping delays will be deemed to have been waived by customers, unless written notice is received within a reasonable time after receipt of goods but, in any case, such notice shall be received by Trolec no later than 30 days after the date of receipt of goods by the customer. 

Should the customer fail to notify Trolec within this period, any replacement product will be charged to the customer.

In no event shall Trolec be held liable to you or to any third party for any indirect, consequential, exemplary, incidental, special or punitive damages, including lost profit and damages arising from your use of the products, even if Trolec may or may not have been previously informed of the possibility of such damage occurring.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, Trolec's liability to you, for any reason of any kind and regardless of the nature of the claims, will be limited to the amount paid by you for the Trolec product purchased.
