· The structural warranty covers any structural components within the unit, which fail to perform their intended function due to faulty manufacture or deterioration within the warranty period.

This warranty only covers products manufactured by Malmet.

Malmet, or any of its authorised service outlets, may refuse to perform maintenance or warranty work if access is unsafe, as determined by Malmet or any of its authorized service outlets at their sole discretion (acting reasonably).

· Should a warranty claim be rejected you will be advised in writing with a full explanation of our reasons.

· It is our policy to have a Warranty Claim Procedure that is fair to our customers and provides an efficient system of replacement and/or repair of faulty parts. If at any time you believe we are not meeting our commitment to you please contact Malmet Head Office – Leeton by telephone on (02) 6953 7677 or in writing to PO Box 373, Leeton NSW 2705.

· To the extent permitted by law, unauthorised use of any parts that were not supplied or approved for use in the applicable unit by Malmet will result in this warranty and any warranty claims applicable to that unit being void.

· Warranty labour (service work) shall not include units located outside of city metropolitan areas. Costs outside these areas shall be borne by the Customer. The Customer shall be notified of this prior to the warranty call out.

· There is no default apparent with the unit, as determined by Malmet or its authorized representative or agent at their sole discretion (acting reasonably).

How to make a claim under this warranty:

If you believe there is a defect in a unit you have purchased from Malmet, you must notify Malmet in writing of such defect, by sending a letter (“Notice of Defect”) to Malmet at PO Box 373, Leeton NSW 2705 prior to the expiration of the applicable warranty period set out in this warranty.

For the avoidance of doubt, Malmet must receive your Notice of Defect prior to the expiration of the warranty period, and will be deemed to receive such Notice of Defect one business day (in the state of New South Wales) after you post the Notice of Defect.

To the extent permitted by law, Malmet will not reimburse you for any expense you incur in claiming or attempting to make a claim for repair or replacement of a component under this warranty.
