8.0 WARRANTY

STATEMENT

Adam Equipment offers Limited Warranty (Parts and Labour) for any components that fail due to defects in

materials or workmanship. Warranty starts from the date of delivery.

During the warranty period, should any repairs be necessary, the purchaser must inform its supplier or Adam

Equipment Company. The company or its authorised Technician reserves the right to repair or replace the

components at any of its workshops at no additional cost, depending on the severity of the problems. However,

any freight involved in sending the faulty units or parts to the Service Centre should be borne by the purchaser.

The warranty will cease to operate if the equipment is not returned in the original packaging and with correct

documentation for a claim to be processed. All claims are at the sole discretion of Adam Equipment.

This warranty does not cover equipment where defects or poor performance is due to misuse, accidental damage,

exposure to radioactive or corrosive materials, negligence, faulty installation, unauthorised modifications or

attempted repair, or failure to observe the requirements and recommendations as given in this User Manual.

This product may include a rechargeable battery that is designed to be removed and replaced by the user. Adam

Equipment warrants that it will provide a replacement battery if the battery manifests a defect in materials or

workmanship during the initial period of use of the product in which the battery is installed.

As with all batteries, the maximum capacity of any battery included in the product will decrease with time or use,

and battery cycle life will vary depending on product model, configuration, features, use, and power management

settings. A decrease in maximum battery capacity or battery cycle life is not a defect in materials or workmanship,

and is not covered by this Limited Warranty.

Repairs carried out under the warranty do not extend the warranty period. Components removed during warranty

repairs become company property.

The statutory rights of the purchaser are not affected by this warranty. The terms of this warranty is governed by

the UK law. For complete details on Warranty Information, see the terms and conditions of sale available on our

web-site.
