12. Warranty

Rotary Precision Instruments UK Ltd., undertakes upon written request of the purchaser to repair or replace at the Company's discretion and as quickly as possible, any part exhibiting deficiencies due to faulty material, bad design, or poor workmanship. Replaced parts shall become the property of the customer. Rotary Precision Instruments UK Ltd shall bear only the costs resulting from the repair or replacement of defective parts. If, for any reason beyond the Company's control, such parts cannot be repaired or replaced at our factory, additional costs resulting therefrom shall be borne by the purchaser (usually travel and incidental expenses).

The warranty period is 12 months, or in the case of 16 hours or more operation per day, 6 months. It begins when the goods are despatched from Rotary Precision Instruments works, or if the customer undertakes commissioning and/or prior installation when its completed. If despatch or installation are delayed for reasons beyond the purchaser's control, the warranty period shall end not later than 18 months after the Company's notification to the purchaser that the goods are ready for despatch.

Excluded from the warranty are repair and replacements resulting from natural wear, improper maintenance, failure to observe the operating instructions, excessive loading, the use of unsuitable media, the influence of unspecified environment, unsatisfactory building or erection work not undertaken by the Company or other reasons beyond the control of the Company.
The Company's liability shall cease if the purchaser or a third party undertakes changes or repairs to the goods without the Company's consent; likewise if the purchaser does not take immediate steps to prevent damage from becoming more serious when the Company is able to rectify the defect.

For materials of goods supplied by third parties, the Company accepts liability only to the extent of the sub-contractor's warranty to the Company; the Company will advise the purchaser accordingly.

13. Sub Contract

The Company reserves the right to sub contract all or part of all orders, and quotations are made on this basis.

14. Specifications and Drawings

Every effort is made to ensure that descriptions, drawings and other information in correspondence, catalogues, etc are accurate but no warranty is given in respect thereof and the Company shall not be liable for any error therein. The Company also reserves the right to modify the design of products without notice.

15. Patents and Copyright

All drawings and designs, patents, tools etc and the copyright therein supplied by the Company shall be and remain the Company's property and in no circumstance whatsoever shall such documents or their copyrights be used for any purpose other than that for which they were supplied. The Customer shall indemnify the Company against any losses, costs, damages or infringement of patent rights resulting from compliance with the Customer's specifications relating to the goods.

16. Liability

The Company shall not be liable for any incidental or consequential damages or losses through any defect in the goods supplied by the Company. This exclusion overrides any expressed or implied liability howsoever stated by the Company.

17. Property in the Goods

The risk in goods sold passes to the Customer on delivery but the title or property in the goods remains vested in the Company until the purchase price of the order of which they form part is paid in full, each order being considered as a whole. Meanwhile, the Customer shall keep the goods separately identifiable and hold them as bailee for the Company under the obligation to deliver them up to the Company at any time if so required.

18. Force Majeur

The Company shall be excused from liability if performance of the contract is prevented or hindered by any cause whatsoever beyond the Company's control and in particular but without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing by Act of God, War, Government control restrictions or prohibitions or any other Government act or omission whether local or national, fire, flood, subsidence, sabotage, accident, strike or lockout and shall not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from any such circumstances. If thus, any contract is made materially more onerous or expensive for the Company, the Company may at any time by written notice cancel the contract without liability to the Customer.

19. Legal Interpretation

All contracts governed by these conditions shall be subject to English law and any question of interpretation or dispute shall be settled by the English courts, or at the option of the Company, by arbitration by an arbitrator appointed by the Company in accordance with the provisions of the Arbitration Act 1950 or any statutory re-enactment or modification thereof.
