It is a condition of warranty that the customer has stipulated correctly and precisely the capacity and performance
required of the System and the conditions under which the System shall operate. Any performance figures given
by us in the Quotation or mentioned or referred to in or prior to the contract are such as we expect to obtain on
test but are not guaranteed. All such performance figures whether analytical or financial are estimates only and
the customer must independently satisfy itself as to their accuracy and completeness.
Failure to perform as duly specified shall be notified to us in writing and we shall be given every reasonable
facility to investigate the cause of the failure and to recommend remedial action.
If it is clearly established that the fault is due to an error in calculation by us or failure by our employees to
carry out instructions, the fault shall be rectified by us in as reasonable a period of time as possible and at no
cost to the Customer. Should the remedial action fail to achieve the designed performance the limit of our
liability either the negligence or for breach of statutory duty or otherwise shall be for us to remove the
equipment at our expense or to refund to the buyer the purchase price in full.
