Baldan Warranty
BALDAN IMPLEMENTOS AGRÍCOLAS S/A ensures the dealer normal performance of the
implement for a period of six (6) months as of the delivery date on the retail invoice to the first
final consumer.
During this period, BALDAN undertakes to repair defects in material and/or of manufacture of
its liability, including labor, freight and other expenses of the dealer’s liability.
In the warranty period, request and replacement of eventual defective parts shall be made to
the dealer of the area, who will submit the faulty piece for BALDAN analysis.
When this procedure is not possible and the resolving capacity of the dealer is exhausted, the
dealer will request the support of BALDAN Technical Assistance through a specific form distributed
to dealers.
After analyzing the replaced items by BALDAN Technical Assistance, and concluding that it is
not a warranty, then the dealer will be responsible for the costs related to the replacement; as
well as material expenses, travel including accommodation and meals, accessories, lubricant used
and other expenses arising from the call out to Technical Assistance, and BALDAN company is
authorized to carry the respective invoice in the name of the resale.
Any repair carried out in the product within the dealer warranty deadline will only be
authorized by BALDAN upon previous budget presentation describing parts and workforce
to be executed.
The product is excluded from this term if it is repaired or modified by representatives
not belonging to the BALDAN dealer network, as well as the application of non-genuine
parts or components to the user’s product.
This warranty is void where it is found that the defect or damage is caused by improper
use of the product, failure to follow instructions or inexperience of the operator.
It is agreed that this warranty does not cover tires, polyethylene tanks, cardan shafts,
hydraulic components, etc., which are equipment guaranteed by their manufacturers.
Manufacturing and/or material defects, object of this warranty term, will not constitute,
under any circumstances, grounds for termination of a purchase agreement, or for indemnification
of any nature.
BALDAN reserves the right to change and/or perfect the technical characteristics of its
products, without previous notice, and without obligation to proceed in the same way with
the products previously manufactured.
