Company warrants that all Goods, at the time of shipment by Company, shall reasonably conform to any specification set forth on the face of Company’s delivery receipt or invoice and shall conform to the description contained in the description of such Goods furnished by Company on the webpage on which a Transaction is initiated. Company’s warranty is limited to a period of thirty (30) days from the date of purchase of the Goods or the expected life of the purchased Goods, whichever is shorter. The Goods shall be subject to tolerances and variations consistent with standard industry practices. Company does not warrant against, and this limited warranty does not apply to, any non-conformity to the extent that such non-conformity results from damage, misuse, abrasion, negligence, accident, tampering, improper storage, or any other cause affecting the Goods after shipment of such Goods.
If any defect in material or workmanship is discovered by you during the applicable warranty period in any of the Goods, as determined by Company’s inspection of the non-conforming Goods, your sole and exclusive remedy shall be as follows:
- You shall have thirty (30) days from the date of purchase of the Goods to inspect the Goods to determine whether the Goods: (i) conform to the Transaction details in the manner set forth in the preceding paragraph, or (ii) are damaged, visibly defective, or otherwise nonconforming.
- You must assert any claim for the foregoing within such thirty (30) day period by furnishing Company with detailed written information of such damage, non-conformance, defect, or shortage (“Notice of Rejection”).
- Conditioned upon such Notice of Rejection, Company will, at Company’s option and as your exclusive remedy: (i) replace the Goods that are defective (the “Nonconforming Goods”) with new Goods at the time of shipment, (ii) repair the Nonconforming Goods, if applicable, or (iii) refund the purchase price allocated to the Nonconforming Goods.
No returns can be made without the prior authorization of Company and a pre-assigned return authorization number issued by Company. All returns are subject to inspection and acceptance by Company. When returns are accepted, they are subject to a handling and re-inspecting charge to be determined by Company. All returns shall be in accordance with Company’s specific shipping instructions.
You must immediately discontinue use of any item claimed to be defective. No charge by you for labor or expense required to repair defective material or occasioned by it will be allowed.
The return policy set forth in this Section 13(b) may be supplemented or superseded by any Company return policy separately posted on the Website; provided however, that to the extent such separately posted policy does not supersede the terms of this Section 13(b), this Section 13(b) shall still be in full force and effect.
