All products manufactured or repaired by the company except for, consumables contained therein or thereon including in the case of electrical components, illumination sources, items made wholly or partly of glass or ceramic material, electrical elements, transformer windings and cooling solutions, electric motor windings, printed circuit boards and parts there of, reconditioned replacement parts, batteries (hereafter referred to as the product), are guaranteed to be free from defects in material for a period of Ten (10) years from the date of acceptance by the customer. Any product LDU is a manufacturers distributor for carries the same term and conditions as issued by the manufacturer. This warranty or any other implied warranty or condition whatsoever incorporated doesn’t and shall not cover:

1. Any damage caused to the equipment as a result of a lightning strike or overvoltage.
2. The repair of any fault in the product or the replacement of any part thereof where such repair or replacement has resulted from negligence or malpractice of the customer, its servants, agents, employees or any other third parties or persons.
3. Any consequential loss or damage suffered by the customer arising from any defect in design, materials or workmanship of the product, including any damage or cost due to loss of operation or lost profit or any other direct or indirect cost or damages.
4. The cost of freight or insurance to or from the company’s workshop and unless otherwise agreed to by the Company in writing prior to shipment, the customer shall return the product freight prepaid.
5. The repair or replacement of any product where the product has been altered or modified by the purchaser, or where the Customer has not installed the product, in strict accordance with the initial specifications upon which the Company’s quotation for the product was based.
6. Natural Corrosion of copper materials caused by atmospheric conditions.

The above guarantee is additional to rights which arise for the sale of industrial and technical products and services to knowledgeable buyers under the Australian Trade Practices Act 1974 as amended. However, to the extent that the Trade Practices Act permits a company to limit its liability to a breach of a condition or warranty implied by the said Act, the company’s liability for such breach of a condition or warranty shall be limited to:

• The replacement of the product.
• The repair of the product.
• The payment of the cost of having the product repaired.

In the case of a service:

• The supply of the service again.
• The payment of having the service repeated.

The purchaser agrees that since atmospheric lightning discharge is a natural and unpredictable process and subject to the laws of nature, under these conditions a guarantee cannot be given with respect to the operation of our equipment such as surge or transient protection products. Total protection is not offered i.e. 100% protection cannot be guaranteed. Component parts of our products may be sacrificial when exposed to the effect of lightning and also voltage surges and transients. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, such parts are therefore not covered by any warranty.

Reports:
Any reports issued by the company are issued for the express use of the company or any of its authorized agents or sub-contractors only. No responsibility or liability will be borne by the company should any other person or party utilise the report without express written authorization from the company to the person or party.
Once the customer has placed their purchase order on the company, it is deemed by the company that the customer has read, understood and accepted these General Conditions of Quotation and Sale.

Preventative Maintenance:
For the 10 year warranty to remain in effect the system or filter must be inspected every 12 months. This only applies to direct strike systems or filters above 63A. The system must be inspected by an authorized LDU representative and re-certified. Inspections conducted by any other persons will not be considered as an authorized inspection. Any replacement parts, service or preventative maintenance conducted on the system or filter by unauthorized personnel will void the warranty, reducing the warranty to 12 months from the date of purchase.
