Layton Technologies - The only systems with a 5 year warranty

-System Warranty

• A standard full parts and labour warranty is given on the equipment for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of commissioning on site by our engineer but not greater than thirteen (13) months after shipment.
• An extended full parts and labour warranty is offered on the equipment for a period of sixty (60) months from the date of commissioning on site by our engineer but not greater than sixty-one (61) months after shipment.
• All Warranties are provided on the understanding that in the event of a fault with the equipment, due to workmanship or failure of a component part (which is not a Consumable Item as defined below), the item will be repaired or replaced free of charge by Layton, provided the damage or fault has not been caused by misuse.
• Warranties do not include Consumable Items such as filters, seals, chemistry etc. Consumable Items are defined as items which would need to be replaced as part of any routine or preventative maintenance procedure.
• Warranties exclude any external services to and from ancillary equipment. This includes cabling, pipework, air lines etc. which may be subjected to external forces or are outside the control of Layton Technologies.
• The warranty will remain in force for the stated period provided always that any system which includes the extended warranty is serviced at regular intervals as part of a separate Preventative Maintenance Service agreement (PMS). All PMS functions under any PMS agreement must be performed by Layton Technologies or persons or organisations authorised by Layton Technologies. Services under any PMS agreement must be carried out at intervals of a minimum of once per year or more for the full term of the extended warranty, as designated by Layton for each individual system.
• Warranties will not apply if any fault has been caused by a failure of the customer to carry out routine maintenance, in addition to any PMS carried out by Layton as part of the extended warranty, or the customer fails to ensure that the required services are maintained.
• Warranty support will be withdrawn in the event that any legitimate invoice remains unpaid by the customer after the agreed period of credit allowed by Layton.
• Layton will accept no liability for any loss of production or business interruption resulting from any system failure whether or not any such failure is covered by any Layton Warranty.
• Warranties are not transferrable to other users in the event of equipment being sold or otherwise transferred to third party users. Warranties will become void in the event of the equipment being moved in any way from any location where the system was originally commissioned by Layton unless Layton are notified in writing prior to any such move.
