8. WARRANTY
8.1 “Everlasting S.r.l.” acknowledges a 12-month warranty from the delivery document (DDT) date on supplied products. This results in the free-of-charge supply of parts that will be deemed as defective at our incontestable discretion, except for any charge deriving from labour, travels and transportations. Defects must in any case be independent from any incorrect usage of the product in conformity with the indications stated on its manual.
8.2 Control electronics, consumable materials, glasses, lamps and components which imply a manual use, such as core temperature probes, are excluded from warranty.
8.3 Once the defect is ascertained, Clients must promptly notify it in writing by indicating the serial number of the finished product and the description of the component deemed as defective.
8.4 Materials replaced under warranty are considered as our property: therefore, they must be returned under Clients’ responsibility and at their expenses.
Once the part will be received, “Everlasting S.r.l.” will control it; if its defectiveness, thus the warranty, will be confirmed, “Everlasting S.r.l.” will replace it by bearing its shipment costs.
In case Clients need to quickly receive the replacement part without previously returning the possibly defected part, “Everlasting S.r.l.” will have the power to operate in one of the following modes at their incontestable discretion:
A – ship the replacement part carriage-forward and wait for the carriage-free return of the defective component for the following 15 days. In case no defectiveness is detected or if it will be deemed that the defect depends from misuse, “Everlasting S.r.l.” will invoice the component to Clients. The component will also be invoiced if the defective part will not be returned within the agreed timeframe.
B – ship the replacement part carriage-forward upon payment of the part by Clients. Clients will then have to return the defective component carriage-free and wait for “Everlasting S.r.l.” to carry out the needed tests. If the returned component will be confirmed as defective, “Everlasting S.r.l.” will immediately credit the sum previously paid by Clients.
8.5 Warranty will not be applicable in case of tampering or technical interventions on products which were not authorized by “Everlasting S.r.l.”.
8.6 In any case of malfunction on our appliances, “Everlasting S.r.l.” will not acknowledge any compensation for either direct or indirect damages to people or objects nor for damages to the product stored in the appliance.
9. TESTING
9.1 The appliances produced by “Everlasting S.r.l.” are all tested by respecting all the parameters indicated on the catalogue/price list/ instruction manual of the chosen appliance. Disregard or tampering of parameters will release “Everlasting S.r.l” from liability for the malfunction of the product.
10. ADDITIONAL NOTES
10.1 “Order processing expenses” of 15,00 e in addition to the cost of the ordered parts will be added to every order of spare parts bearing a total net amount of less than 80,00 e. Transport and packing costs will be added separately.
10.2 Spare part request will only be accepted if the serial number of the appliance which the spare part belongs to is supplied. This number is written on the silver label applied on the back of the appliance, as well on the instruction manual. As an exception only and under full responsibility of the client, the supply of spare parts might be evaluated against the sending of a picture of the component. In this case, no returns will be accepted.
10.3 Inspection of goods, if required, will have to be agreed upon with “Everlasting S.r.l.” prior to placing the order.
10.4 In case of shipment by container, if required by the client we will take pictures after completion of loading to prove the correct loading of the container (loading quality and quantity of items)
