Where goods are manuactured you understand and agree that:

You agree to notify us in writing, at the earliest possible time, not more than seven (7) days from receipt of goods, of any damage you find. Failure to properly notify or substantiate damage may affect our ability to claim damages from our insurer and as a direct consequence to financially cover any or all damaged found by you.

13. Merchantable Quality / Fit for Use

In addition to any rights you have at law, you are entitled to receive all product in a condition that is of “merchantable quality”, “fit for the purpose” and to the specifications provided by ‘SS’ in our quote.  Any product that does not meet these standards can be returned to us and ‘SS’ will arrange for replacements or provide a credit or refund. The provision of a replacement or credit or refund will be at our discretion.

 

14. Warranty

‘SS” sources product to the highest quality standard possible for the manufacturing processes employed, consistent with your instructions and to the specifications outlined in our quote. The product quality and life expectations (warranty) will differ and be dependent on many factors including the product specifications, the use to which the product is going to be put etc.

 

Unless specifically stated on our quotation or in other correspondence to you, you should expect a warranty for our goods to the standards expected of them here in Australia in the industry or purpose to which they relate.

 

You understand that it is not possible to produce and provide the same warranty for a product costing $1 and the same product with different higher specifications and costing $10. Your warrantee will reflect your instructions and the resulting specifications set and agreed. You also understand that while ‘SS’ applies the strictest quality control standards, all quality control procedures use sampling and consequently may miss and pass off a small number of faulty products as acceptable.

 

Our standard warranty, under normal conditions, if not otherwise specifically stated or universally accepted for the products in question differently, is 1 year.

Our liability under any statutory or common law provisions is limited to replacement of products supplied. You agree that ‘SS’ has no additional liability for any consequential, direct or indirect loss.

20. Solvent

You warrant to us that at the time of making your order and before, to the best of your knowledge, your business is solvent and able to meet its debts as and when they become due.

We agree that ‘SS’ has no liability whatsoever for late delivery or for cancelling an order in the event of an Act of God affecting manufacturing or delivery of your goods. We agree that ‘SS” can determine at its sole discretion what constitutes an Act of God. An Act of God will include but not be limited to floods, cyclones, logistical and manufacturing strikes, war, in some cases famine, severe lack of source materials or labour and unrest.

If such clause is read down and remains void, voidable, illegal or unenforceable or is incapable of being read down and the provision would not be void, voidable, illegal or unenforceable if a word or words were omitted, that word or words shall be severed and in any other case the whole provision is severed, save that in any cast the remainder of these terms and conditions shall remain in full legal force and effect.
