WARRANTY FREIGHT POLICY

1. Customer is responsible for freight costs and shipment of goods to the factory or an Authorized Service Center. Sundyne will ship all warranty orders under DAP (Delivered At Place) Incoterms 2010.
2. This policy applies to all domestic and international shipments, including shipments bound for other Sundyne divisions or Channel Partners.
3. Any exceptions to this freight policy require written approval by the Aftermarket Services Manager or the Director of Product Management.

BACKCHARGE POLICY

1. No backcharges for warranty work will be accepted or paid without pre-approval by the Field Service Manager.
2. A written cost estimate must be submitted to the Sundyne Field Service Manager prior to any work being started.
3. A backcharge invoice or summary including a detailed breakdown of all charges (labor and materials) must be submitted to the Sundyne Field Service Manager within 90 days of approved warranty work being performed.
4. Any shelf parts consumed in warranty repair will be replaced rather than refunded.
5. Sundyne reserves the right to reject any final costs that are 10% or more above the original approved estimate.

RE-WARRANTY OR EXTENDED WARRANTY

Customers anticipating delayed startup of new equipment must negotiate terms for a re-warranty or warranty extension during the quotation stage of the order. If a unit has been shipped from the factory under our standard warranty and a warranty extension or renewal is subsequently desired, contact the Sundyne Field Service department for determination of whether a warranty extension beyond our standard warranty policy can be granted.

FACTORY OVERHAULED EQUIPMENT

Warranty on a unit returned to the factory for repair and return to the customer will be limited to the new components installed during the rebuild. In effect, it is the standard warranty as applied to spare parts.

It should be noted, however, that a rebuilt gearbox purchased through our exchange program carries the standard new equipment warranty.

NOTES

Disassembly of a unit does not void the product warranty; however, unauthorized attempts by the customer to repair defective parts will render the warranty void.

The product warranty applies to new equipment, exchange gearboxes, and spare parts.
