IMANTS BV warranty information
(A) Warranty
IMANTS BV guarantees that none of the products that it manufactures has any material faults and IMANTS BV issues
a warranty for the manufactured products at the time of shipment, which is valid for a period of twelve (12) months from
the date of delivery to the customer. IMANTS BV delivers replacement parts, free of charge, for all parts that IMANTS
BV considers to be faulty at the time of shipment. Alternatively, IMANTS BV can opt to repair such components or have
such components repaired on its behalf on the condition that such components are returned on request to the factory

advance.
This warranty does not apply to any products that have been subject to incorrect use, incorrect application, negligence
(including, but not limited to, incorrect maintenance), an accident, incorrect installation, a modification (including, but not
limited to, the use of components or add-on components for which permission has not been granted), an alteration or
repair. Motors and all accessories that are delivered with products from IMANTS BV but which are not manufactured
by IMANTS BV are not covered by the warranty issued by IMANTS BV. They are only sold with the explicit warranty, if
there is one, issued by the manufacturer concerned. THE ABOVE REPLACES ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EITHER

use, income, profit or production, or higher operational costs, or decay or damage of materials resulting from the sale,
installation, use, inability to use, or repair or replacement of IMANTS BV products.
Every operation that is expressly forbidden in the operating instructions or instruction manuals that are provided with
the machine, and any alteration or assembly procedure that is not recommended by or is not permitted according to the
operating or maintenance instructions invalidates such warranty.
