3. Warranties

a. All warranties are given by the Manufacturer, and will take effect on delivery to the Purchaser. TRO provides no warranty in respect of Machinery and makes no representation about fitness for purpose of the Machinery to meet the Purchaser’s requirements. Purchasers must satisfy themselves that the Machinery being purchased will meet their operational requirements and is suitable for their operations.
Purchasers must complete the Warranty Validation Form and return it to TRO within 7 days of the date of delivery of the Machinery.

b. The customer is responsible for all scheduled maintenance as explained in the Operators Manuals supplied with the Machinery. Failure to follow such maintenance schedules will invalidate the Manufacturer’s warranty.

Damage resulting from improper maintenance, negligence, accident, fire, failure to adjust, tighten or replace wear items, including but not limited to items such as knives, knife anvils, belts, lubrication fluids, bearings, filters, hydraulic components, loose nuts or bolts, will result in the Manufacturer’s warranty being declared void.

e. All warranty claims on a Manufacturer’s warranty in respect of Machinery must be notified to TRO as soon as they are discovered by telephone and in writing, no later than two working days after delivery. In the event that damage has been caused to the Machinery, the Purchaser must withdraw the Machinery from service until the damage can be inspected by TRO. Failure to remove the Machinery from service, may result in the warranty being invalidated.

In the event of a warranty claim or any other matter which necessitates the return of the Machinery to TRO (at any location TRO direct), the Purchaser is responsible for all delivery, transportation and redelivery costs and TRO will not be responsible for the Purchaser’s travel costs. TRO must continue to insure the Machinery during this period and TRO will not insure the Machinery. TRO may at its discretion elect to repair the Machinery at the Purchaser’s premises or at the location where TRO’s repairs are usually carried out in which case TRO will be entitled to charge for it’s service engineers/representatives time and travel costs on its standard basis.

Following inspection of the Part Exchange Machine by TRO, TRO will notify the Purchaser within 5 days of inspection of the part exchange price and this will be deducted from the cost of the Machinery being purchased. If the proposed Part Exchange Machine is not delivered to TRO within 7 days of a request for it to be delivered, TRO shall be under no obligation to take the Part Exchange Machine and the full purchase price for the Machinery will be due and payable by the Purchaser.

The Purchaser warrants that the Part Exchange Machinery is free and clear of any and all encumbrances, and should any encumbrance materialise, the amount will be deducted from the Part Exchange Machinery price and the Purchaser hereby authorises TRO to pay off any such amount. Title to the Part Exchange Machinery shall pass to TRO once the price for the Part Exchange Machine has been agreed and the Machinery paid for.
