Three Year Warranty ET warrants their products to be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of three years from the date of shipment. This warranty does not apply to any product which has been subject to misuse, negligence, or accidental damage, or if the unit has any unauthorised modification. This applies to new products only. There is no provision for warranty on O.E.M. encoder repairs. Satisfaction of this warranty, consistent with other provisions herein, will be limited to the replacement, or repair or modification of, or issuance of a credit for, the Goods involved, at ET’s option, only after the return of such Goods and subsequent inspection confirming validation of warranty, and with consent in accordance with the Return Policy and with shipping charges prepaid. Goods may only be returned for a credit by ET’s agreement in writing. There will be a re-stocking charge equal to 50% of the price paid on the original invoice - modified, or special-build items, are excluded THIS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES WHETHER EXPRESSED, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS. Terms and Conditions General ET and Customer agree that the terms and conditions identified in this document shall govern exclusively the sale by ET of all hardware and services (collectively referred to as “Goods”) within the United Kingdom. No addition or any modification to any of the terms and conditions as they appear in this document shall be binding upon ET unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative of ET. Terms Terms to Customers with satisfactory credit are nett thirty (30) days from day of invoice. A 1.5% monthly service charge (18% annually) will be added to accounts not paid within 30 days from date of invoice at the discretion of ET. Shipment All prices quoted (including repairs, parts, and goods sold separately) are ex-works. Any shortages should be notified in writing within 7 days of receipt of goods, otherwise we can accept no responsibility. Packing All shipping prices listed provide for standard packing for domestic shipping in accordance with ET's standard specifications. If special packaging is required for domestic shipment or for export shipment, refer to factory for additional charges. Title and Responsibility Title to hardware shall remain with ET as security only and until full payment is received. Risk of loss or damage shall pass to Customer upon shipment from our UK factory. Penalty Clauses No contracts or quotations showing penalty clause for failure to meet shipment are acceptable to ET. Product Changes Changes in design and improvements in manufacture are constantly being made by ET whenever the company believes that the product will be improved. No obligations to incorporate these changes in units prior to the change will be assumed. Shipping Weights and Dimensions Published weights are careful estimates but are not warranted. Dimensions shown in catalogue are approximate. Quotations All written quotations automatically expire unless accepted within sixty (60) days from the date quoted. Verbal quotations expire on the same day that they are made. Taxes The customer shall pay all excise or similar taxes to the appropriate agency where and when applicable. Delay ET shall not be liable for damage as a result of any delay due to any cause beyond ET’s reasonable control including, without limitation, act of God, act of war, riot, delay in transportation or inability to obtain necessary labour, materials, or manufacturing facilities. In the event of any such delay, the date of delivery shall be extended for a period equal to a time lost by reason of delay. Nor shall any delay entitle the Customer to terminate or rescind the Order or Contract unless such delay exceeds 180 days. Cancellation No order cancellation by any Customer is acceptable under any circumstances unless made in writing within 7 days of the order being issued or accepted or otherwise specifically agreed in writing by ET. Limitation of Liability In no event shall ET be liable for consequential or incidental damages or any expense incurred by the Customer attributed to any product sold hereunder. Returns Policy ET’s returns policy is quite clear: NO PRODUCT RETURNS will be accepted unless accompanied by a RETURN MATERIAL AUTHORISATION (RMA) number, issued by the Sales or Technical teams. Should you need to return any item, for inspection, repair, or any other reason, PLEASE CONTACT THIS OFFICE IN ORDER TO OBTAIN YOUR UNIQUE RMA REFERENCE NUMBER, so that the processing of your returned item may be properly monitored and progressed. In the case of items incorrectly specified by the hard-copy purchase order, we may in some cases (DEPENDANT UPON our evaluation of the possibility of a future sales requirement) allow a MAXIMUM CREDIT of up to 50% of the original UNIT NET INVOICED PRICE. Repair Policy We have increased our repair capacity, and now offer a wider range of repair possibilities, with very short lead times. 1) Priority is given to WARRANTY REPAIRS. These are free of charge with UK return shipping charges paid, PROVIDING THAT THE REASON FOR FAILURE IS NOT FOUND TO BE APPLICATION RELATED, and can be positively identified as an ET QUALITY ISSUE. Warranty repairs should normally be completed within THREE WORKING DAYS. 2) ALL INSPECTIONS, (of products manufactured either by “Encoder Technology”, or any other manufacturer), will be subject to a standard charge, and the cost of return shipping, (details available from the Sales Office). Should a repair be agreed, this inspection charge will be waived, and the appropriate repair charge, and return shipping charges, will be applied. Inspections and repair evaluations should normally be completed within FIVE WORKING DAYS. 3) ET NON-WARRANTY REPAIRS are subject to standard charges and the cost of return shipping, (details available for the Sales Office). Non warranty repairs should normally be completed within FIVE WORKING DAYS. 4) OEM repairs, (i.e. encoder NOT of our own manufacture), are subject to standard charges, and return shipping, (details available from the Sales Office), OEM repairs should normally be completed within FIVE WORKING DAYS. 5) We now offer a priority repair service, for which a surcharge, (of 50% over the normal repair charge, per unit), will apply. This service is subject to the condition of our receipt of the suspect device, together with a confirmed purchase order, by no later than 10:00HRS of the first working day. This facility may be withdrawn in the event of unexpected production demands, or by the occurrence of factors beyond our control. 6) Any returns should be accompanied by a valid RMA number, (Return Material Authorisation), which will be issued by the Sales Office, and which should be signed, giving us authority to proceed with any inspection or repair. 7) Any returns, (other than ET Warranty Repairs), for which we do not receive specific instruction and a VALID PURCHASE ORDER, will only be retained for a maximum of 30 days. Should we NOT receive specific instructions within the 30-day period, any material in our possession will be considered as being unwanted, and will be scrapped. |
