Dukane Manual Part No. 40356601
Section 16 Warranty
Subject to the terms, limitations and exclusions set forth below, Dukane Corporation IAS Division (Dukane) warrants to the original Purchaser,
unless otherwise expressly agreed to in writing by Dukane, that all equipment and tooling designed and built by Dukane will be free from
defects in material or workmanship. Normal wear items are not covered by this warranty. Warranty duration shall be defined as documented
herein and in conjunction with any exceptions or exclusions in the accompanying Dukane quotation to the Purchaser.
All Dukane warranties commence on the date of the original shipment of the equipment or tooling, and duration is based upon a single
shift per day, five day per week operation. The warranty period on rentals of new equipment that are converted to a purchase are deemed
to have commenced on the initial date of rental.
These warranties are limited to equipment and tooling operated and maintained per Dukane’s written instructions, and used under
normal operating conditions. These warranties do not include normal wear or normal wear items, and do not cover damage attributable
to misuse, improper installation, faulty repair, unauthorized alteration or modification, neglect, or accident. Misuse includes operation of
equipment with tooling that is not qualified for the equipment or properly installed on the equipment.
The warranty on all Dukane equipment and tooling purchased and installed in North America is a parts and labor warranty only. Equipment
installed outside of North America, regardless of where it was purchased, is covered by Dukane’s International Warranty Policy. In all
cases, when on-site service is required, Travel & Living (T&L) expenses will be billed at cost. Warranty service labor (including travel
time) at the customer’s site is provided on a Monday through Friday (excluding holidays), 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. basis. Any warranty service
requested outside of these hours is available on a charge basis equal to 150% of Dukane’s prevailing rate for technical service work.
Any equipment or tooling that proves to be defective in material or workmanship during the stated warranty period will be repaired or
replaced at the sole discretion of Dukane Corporation when Dukane is promptly notified in writing. During the warranty period, defective
equipment, components, or tooling that are returned properly packed with all transportation charges prepaid will be repaired or replaced
and returned to the end-user without charge. Shipments of warranty parts will be via standard, non-expedited delivery service. Expedited
shipment requests are subject to freight charges to the Purchaser.
Computers, PLCs, CRTs, LCDs, touch screens, and keyboards separate and/or incorporated as an integral part of a system will carry a
one (1) year warranty from the date of shipment when used under normal operating conditions, and not subjected to misuse, abuse, or
neglect. For all other equipment, components, or parts included in equipment or systems from Dukane, but not manufactured by Dukane
or its affiliates, this warranty shall be limited in time and extent to the warranty given to Dukane by the OEM.
