Warranty

All Powerbuilt hand tools are covered by a lifetime warranty against manufacturer defect. Lift Equipment, Tool boxes and Roller Cabinets have a shorter warranty period. See Individual packaging. Warranty does not cover wear and tear, missue and abuse.

In the event of any defect of the goods, the guarantee shall first be fulfilled by either remedying the defect or supplying substitute goods, whichever is deemed more suitable by ourselves.

Where such subsequent performance is unsuccessful, the customer may, as a matter of principal, request a lowering of the price payable (reduction) or cancellation of the contract (withdrawal), whichever it deems more suitable. However, in the event of a minor infringement of contract, particularly in the case of minor defects, the customer shall not be entitled to withdraw from the contract.

The customer is required to notify us in writing of any obvious defects immediately upon discovery of such; where this does not occur, the assertion of any warranty claim shall be excluded. Prompt forwarding of notification shall be sufficient to fulfil the notification deadline. The customer bears the full burden of proof for all claim requirements, in particular, proof of the defect itself, the point in time at which the defect was discovered and for the promptness of notice of the defect.

Obvious defects sustained during transport must be notified by the customer immediately upon arrival of the goods at the place of delivery and prior to the processing or handling of such. The customer's obligation to inspect the goods shall apply to the entire delivery. Irrespective of any transport defects, the goods must be accepted and correctly stored. Hidden defects sustained during transport are to be notified by the customer immediately upon the discovery of such. Any complaint relating to transport defects must be submitted in writing stating exact details of the defect. Opportunity to inspect any goods subject to complaint is to be afforded to ourselves.

Should the customer choose to withdraw from the contract due to a legal or physical deficiency following unsuccessful subsequent performance, it shall not be entitled to make any additional claims for damages relating to the defect.

Should the customer choose to accept damages following unsuccessful subsequent performance, the goods shall remain on the customer's premises if this can be reasonably expected. The damages shall be limited to the difference between the purchase price and the value of the defective item. This shall not apply where the breach of contract is the result of wilful deceit on our part.

The warranty period is one year from delivery of the goods.

Essentially, it is agreed that the quality of the goods is to correspond solely to the manufacturer's product description. Public statements, recommendations or advertising on the part of the manufacturer shall not constitute any additional contractual statement regarding the quality of the goods.

Should the customer receive defective assembly instructions, we shall solely be obliged to supply correct assembly instructions; whereby this obligation shall only apply if the defect in the assembly instructions is contrary to correct assembly.

In the absence of alternative agreement, the customer is not availed of guarantees within the legal meaning. Manufacturers' guarantees remain without prejudice therefrom.

Any warranty or guarantee is excluded where the goods delivered by ourselves are used for motor sports of any kind or if they are modified in any other way (repairs, unauthorised actions by the customer, inappropriate use).�
