In the event of there being any defect in the Company’s materials or workmanship under normal operation of the equipment, the Company reserves the right to visit site and rectify at the company’s own expense; if such defect does no relate to the Company’s materials or workmanship, the cost of the visit shall be paid for by the purchaser. COMMISSIONING CERTIFICATES: These are not normally issued, unless specifically included in the Company’s Quotation.

CIVIL WORKS, FOUNDATIONS & DUCTING OF POWER & CONTROL CABLES are, unless specified otherwise in the quotation, normally carried out by the Purchaser to information supplied by the Company, but all or part(s) of this work can be carried out by the Company by prior arrangement, confirmed in writing. TIME FOR COMPLETION Shall be the despatch period (see clause above) and the Installation and Commissioning period, as estimated in the Company’s quotation. Due to the wide variety of circumstances encountered on different sites, the latter period is in no way guaranteed, but installation and commissioning work will be carried out promptly and effectively once access to site is granted.
