TGW Systems agrees to furnish the purchaser without
charge any part proved defective within 2 years from date of
shipment provided the purchaser gives TGW Systems
immediate notice in writing and examination proves the
claim that such materials or parts were defective when
furnished. For drive components specific to XenoROL
®
(i.e.
Xeno belts, slave Xeno belts, drive spools, standard and
speed-up, and spacers), this warranty shall be extended to
five years of running use, provided the conveyors are
applied, installed and maintained in accordance with TGW
Systems published standards. Other than the above, there
are no warranties which extend beyond the description on
the face hereof. Consequential damages of any sort are
wholly excluded.
The liability of TGW Systems will be limited to the
replacement cost of any defective part. All freight and
installation costs relative to any warranted part will be at the
expense of the purchaser. Any liability of TGW Systems
under the warranties specified above is conditioned upon
the equipment being installed, handled, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the written instructions
provided or approved in writing by TGW Systems.
The warranties specified above do not cover, and TGW
Systems makes no warranties which extend to, damage to
the equipment due to deterioration or wear occasioned by
chemicals, abrasion, corrosion or erosion; Purchaser's
misapplication, abuse, alteration, operation or maintenance;
abnormal conditions of temperature or dirt; or operation of
the equipment above rated capacities or in an otherwise
improper manner.
THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR
IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR
A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, EXTENDING BEYOND
THOSE SET FORTH IN THIS STATEMENT OF
WARRA N T Y.
Rev 9/23/2016
TGW Environment Standards
TGW equipment is designed to be installed in a clean,
dry warehouse environment. Exposure to extreme
humidly, direct sunlight, blowing dirt or rain can
permanently damage some components of TGW
conveyor. In particular, the curing agents in concrete
are known to attack and degrade the urethane
conveyor components.
When installing conveyor on a new construction site,
be sure that the concrete is properly cured before
setting conveyor on it. In addition, if conveyors are
stored in the proximity of curing concrete, proper
ventilation must be used to direct the curing agent
fumes away from the conveyor.
Failure to comply with these guidelines will void the
TGW warranty on any failed components that result
from these environment issues.
