- Identifying information of the claimant;
- A detailed description of the claim;
- Supporting materials including photos of affected modules or testing reports;
- Serial number, types, and numbers of affected module;
- Evidence of purchase of the affected Module and Warranty Start Date;
- Initial installation location;
- Other supplementary information required by Jinko; and
- Upon request by Jinko, the actual Module(s) allegedly causing the breach.
In the event that Customer fails to notify Jinko and provide the relevant information of (1)-(8) as described above, Jinko is entitled to refuse to process the relevant claim without any liability.
- b) Jinko will review and evaluate alleged claims after receipt of the claim and full information as stipulated herein. If Jinko at its sole discretion considers it necessary, Jinko can request the Modules be shipped to the Independent Testing Lab for testing. In the event Customer returns the Modules without written consent from Jinko, the risks (including but not limited to damage and loss of the Modules) and expenses related to the Modules shall be borne by Customer.
- c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Jinko shall be entitled, in Jinko’s sole discretion upon written notice to Customer, to require that any breach of the Warranties alleged by Customer be reviewed by TÜV Rheinland, TÜ V SUD or other neutral third party testing laboratory selected by Jinko and approved by Customer, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed (“Independent Testing Lab”). The power measurement tolerance of any testing equipment utilized by any Independent Testing Lab in performing tests required by this Section 2.1 (c)] shall be disclosed in writing to both Parties prior to performance of any such tests and shall be reflected in any final test results provided by the Independent Testing Lab. The determination by an Independent Testing Lab as to whether a breach has occurred shall be final and conclusive with respect to the matters covered by such determination. In all measurements of Actual Power Output, the effect of test uncertainty needs to be considered as per IEC 61215.
- d) Jinko shall first bear reasonable testing costs incurred by the Independent Testing Lab pursuant to Section 2.1(c) hereto, including but not limited to shipping, testing services, and insurance. However, Customer shall promptly upon receipt of notice indemnify Jinko for all such costs on a dollar-for-dollar basis in the event that the Independent Testing Lab is unable to confirm a breach of the Warranties or, if no Independent Testing Lab was utilized, Customer is otherwise unable to establish a breach of the Warranties.
- e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Limited Warranty, Jinko shall not be liable to the successors and permitted assigns of the Limited Warranty for the portion of warranty benefits that arising from the similar root cause and has already been processed and/or enjoyed prior to the transfer of this Limited Warranty. For the avoidance of doubt, the benefits of the successors and permitted assigns of the Limited Warranty shall exclude the portion claimed by the previous Customer.
Remedies for Claims
Remedies Option
In the event that the Module(s) breaches the Warranties, then Jinko shall, at
its sole discretion, provide one of the following remedies:
-
Repair the defective Modules. In such case, Jinko shall prepare the repair project plan and carry out the repair project for the affected modules; or
-
Replace the defective Modules. In such case, the replacement modules’ Actual Power Output shall be no less than the Theoretical Minimum Residual Warranty Power Output of the replaced Module(s)
Theoretical Minimum Residual Warranty Power Output= Nominal Power Output (1 -(First Year Degradation Rate + Annual Degradation Rate (N-1))
Note: year N，0≤N≤Limited Power Warranty Period; or -
Refund the Residual Value of the defective modules or refund the Value Equivalent of the Output Gap (Gap between the Theoretical Minimum Residual Warranty Power Output and the Actual Power Output of the defective Module(s)）
Residual Value = Current Price (price-per-watt) Nominal Power Output (Left-over Limited Power Warranty Period / Limited Power Warranty Period)
Value Equivalent of Output Gap = Current Price (price-per-watt) * (Theoretical Minimum Residual Warranty Power Output – Actual Power Output)
The Current Price (price-per-watt) is determined by Jinko; or -
Provide additional Module(s) to compensate for the power output loss for any Module which causes a breach of the Warranties.
b) Remedies Description
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, additional, repaired or replacement
Modules shall be delivered to the same destination and on the same INCOTERMS
2020 delivery basis that the original Module causing breach of the Warranties
was delivered under the purchase agreement to which this Limited Warranty
applies. Replaced Modules received by Jinko pursuant to Section 2.2 shall be
the sole property of Jinko. Jinko shall be solely responsible for all shipping
costs incurred performing its additional supply, repair or replacement
obligations under this Section 2.2(b). For avoidance of doubt, it is expressly
stated here that any costs incurred due to dismantling, repacking,
installation or re-installation the Module(s) and other related expenses shall
be borne by the Customer. Additional or replacement Modules shall be of the
same type and physical form as the original Module, electrically compatible
with the original Module, and have an electrical output of not less than the
warranted power output of the original Module at the time of supply or
replacement, based on the warranted degradation rates set forth at Section 1
hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Jinko no longer supplies Modules
meeting the foregoing criteria, then additional or replacement Modules
provided under this Section 2.2(b) shall be those Modules then supplied by
Jinko most substantially meeting the foregoing criteria. Jinko’s performance
of any repair, replacement or additional supply pursuant to this Section
2.2(b) shall not extend the term of any Warranties.
Unless otherwise agreed upon in the underlying purchase agreement, Customer
shall dispose of out-of-use Module (s) in accordance with applicable
regulations on electronic waste treatment and disposal at its own cost and the
same shall not be reworked, re-sold or re-used in any way. If Jinko determines
to retrieve such Modules, the ownership of same is deemed to belong to Jinko,
and Jinko shall bear the transportation costs related with delivery of the
