Warranty and technical assistance
Munters products are designed and built to provide reliable and satisfactory
performance but cannot be guaranteed free of faults; although they are
reliable products they can develop unforeseeable defects and the user must
take this into account and arrange adequate emergency or alarm systems if
failure to operate could cause damage to the articles for which the Munters
plant was required: if this is not done, the user is fully responsible for the
damage which they could suffer.
Munters extends this limited warranty to the first purchaser and guarantees its products to be free from defects originating in manufacture or materials for one year from the date of delivery, provided that suitable transport, storage, installation and maintenance terms are complied with. The warranty does not apply if the products have been repaired without express authorisation from Munters, or repaired in such a way that, in Munters’ judgement, their performance and reliability have been impaired, or incorrectly installed, or subjected to improper use. The user accepts total responsibility for incorrect use of the products.
The warranty on products from outside suppliers fitted to the Egg Counter, (for example cables, etc.) is limited to the conditions stated by the supplier: all claims must be made in writing within eight days of the discovery of the defect and within 12 months of the delivery of the defective product.

Munters at its sole discretion has the option of replacing or repairing, free of charge, products which it considers defective, and will arrange for their despatch back to the customer carriage paid. In the case of faulty parts of small commercial value which are widely available (such as bolts, etc.) for urgent despatch, where the cost of carriage would exceed the value of the parts, Munters may authorise the customer exclusively to purchase the replacement parts locally; Munters will reimburse the value of the product at its cost price.
Munters will not be liable for costs incurred in demounting the defective part, or the time required to travel to site and the associated travel costs.
