Standard Warranty 12 Month
BIS Door Systems products are manufactured to the highest quality standards and leave our factory only after rigorous quality testing. However, if you should have grounds for complaint, this document tells you what our door warranty offers.
Scope of Warranty
1. Subject to the conditions below, we will rectify defects affecting the equipment which are clearly attributable to material, manufacturing faults, and/or installation provided they are reported immediately after being identified, and within 12 months of the mechanical installation date.
2. We pledge at our discretion either to exchange the defective merchandise for faultless merchandise, repair it or allow a reduction in price. Replaced parts become our property. Services provided under warranty neither extend the warranty period nor commence a new warranty period. The warranty period for spare parts fitted ends with the expiry of the warranty period of the equipment.
3. The warranty does not apply to any defect or loss arising as a result of:
a. Failure to follow any instructions and guidance issued by BIS Door Systems as to the installation, operation, maintenance or repair of the goods. It is the customer’s responsibility to request instructions and guidance where they have been lost or damaged or none were originally provided, before installing the goods or otherwise operating, maintaining or repairing them;
b. Any brickworks, masonary, rendered or other surfaces cracking or collapsing during installation;
c. Any defect or deterioration of timber after installation;
d. Any weakening or collapse of the structure to which the goods are affixed during or at any time after installation;
e. Any operation or use of the goods after any other defect or damage has become apparent;
f. Any fault or surge in the customer’s electricity supply;
g. Any alteration or modification to the goods without BIS Door System’s prior written consent;
h. Any rubbing or scuff marks as a result of normal operation;
i. Negligent or wanton destruction;
j. External influences such as fire, water, salts, alkaline solutions, acids, abnormal environmental influences;
k. Priming and other surface protection treatments;
l. Misuse, alteration, or repair by non-approved persons;
m. Using parts without the approval of the BIS Door Systems;
n. Removal of the product number or making it unidentifiable;
o. Failure to pay for the supply and/or installation of the goods by the due date; and
p. Damages caused by others that are not repaired causing an adverse effect on the operation of the equipment and thus causing un-warranted wear to components.
4. The warranty does not extend to cover:
a. Any consumables (e.g. fuses, batteries, bulbs etc.);
b. Any marks, distortion, stains, blemishes, indentations or scuffs which are not observable from a distance of at least three metres away in natural light (not direct sunlight);
c. Glazing; d. Safety brake devices on manually operated doors; and
e. Consequential lose or damages
