8. Claims and inspection obligations
It is the buyer’s responsibility, to perform a thorough inspection of the goods no later than at time of delivery, this is to confirm that the service is in accordance with that agreed upon in the contract. The buyer is obliged to give notice of any lack of conformity that is apparent from such an inspection, and the buyer cannot at a later time make new claims regarding lack of conformity that could have been identified in the prescribed inspection. Claims resulting from lack of conformity or delays must be presented in writing and immediately upon identifying such breaches. A claim must include a written statement of the nature of the breach. If the buyer fails to comply with the prescribed conditions and defined rules, then the buyer is not entitled to any remedy for this breach and this includes those pertaining to deficiencies, delays or otherwise.
9. Guarantee
DKT A/S provides a 12 month guarantee, during which any claim must be made immediately upon identifying any error or lack of conformity as described in point 9.
The guarantee period commences from the date of delivery as specified on the respective invoice. The guarantee terminates if the buyer or any third-party makes unapproved modifications or repairs, or if the buyer in cases of an error or lack of conformity do not take immediate precautions to remedy the error or lack of conformity and allow DKT A/S the opportunity to remedy the error or lack of conformity. Exempt from the guarantee are errors or lack of conformity that are not a result of materials, design or production, for example incorrect handling at installation.
In situations of an error or lack of conformity, DKT A/S must be informed and an RMA document is sent to the buyer. This document must accompany the goods being returned to DKT A/S. Goods arriving without an RMA document will not be accepted.
The guarantee covers the repair of the goods, or if repair is not possible, the delivery of an equivalent product to that which was received.
Products, which do not fall under the guarantee, can be repaired at the customer’s expense; fee is dependent on type of failure and shipment back and forth to DKT A/S (according to standard sales terms and conditions).
10. Force majeure
If a delivery is delayed due to work conflicts or any other scenario that the parties have no control over, such as fire, natural disaster, war, currency restrictions, riots or unrest, lack of transportation services, lack of conformity of supplies and delays from sub suppliers, which may be due to any of the scenarios mentioned in this point, then delivery time will be extended as seen reasonable in terms of the prevailing situation.
Should delivery not have been executed within the defined deadline, then the buyer is entitled to annul the deal by way of written notice to DKT A/S.
11. Returned goods
Returned goods will only be received after agreement in each specific case, and only if the goods are current and in their undamaged and unopened original packing material. Upon return a cost is calculated and this is applied as a reduction to the credited amount.
