Windows & Doors in alu clad

 

1.1  This warranty is issued by the following member of VinduesIndustrien, hereinafter called the warrantor. This shall not in any way limit or modify the rights granted in accordance with this agreement and/or the law with regards to your supplier/contractor or the warrantor. 

 

1.2.  

If they complain about manufacturing and/or material defects within a period of 10 years from the warrantor’s delivery date, the warranty gives them the rights in relation to the warrantor as stated in point 1.3. The manufacturing date appears on the label on the product. If necessary, you must document the delivery date.

 

1.3. If there is a valid complaint about manufacturing and/or material defects within the time period specified in point 1.2 in section 1.2, the warrantor must supply a new product free of charge.Under this warranty, the warrantor does not cover the cost of removing the old product and installing the new product, and any consequential damages in connection with replacement of the product are not covered by this warranty.

If the product is within the complaint period but is no longer in production, the guarantor has the right to deliver a similar product instead.

If the manufacturing/material defect can be properly remedied by repair/partial replacement, the warrantor may choose that option instead. Repair/partial replacement will then follow, free of charge. 

 

1.4.  This warranty does not cover manufacturing/material defects for double glazed windows. However, they are covered by the double glazed window manufacturer’s warranty, to which reference is made.

 

1.5.  This warranty gives you no other rights than those stated in section 1.3.

 

1.6. If you wish to complain about manufacturing/material defects, the complaint must be made within a reasonable time after it is discovered or should have been discovered. The complaint may be made to the warrantor or the contractor/supplier who delivered the product.

 

1.7.  This warranty is not valid if the claimed manufacturing/material defect is caused by improper installation, improper or inadequate maintenance or improper operation. Reference is made to the warrantor’s installation, operating and maintenance instructions.

For factory-treated wood windows/doors, particular attention is given to maintenance instructions, as well as the description “Expected outcome of industrially surface treated wood components” (Appendix 14 of VinduesIndustrien’s Technical Regulations).

If, in exceptional cases, you did not receive a maintenance/operating manual with the delivery, it can be ordered from the warrantor.

 

1.8.  Under this warranty, the warrantor is not liable for manufacturing/material defects caused by circumstances that arise after the product is delivered.

Material defects, such as due to faulty storage, transport or installation by an intermediary/contractor, are not enforceable against the warrantor in regards to this guarantee.

 

1.9.  This warranty only applies to products that are located in Denmark while the warranty applies, except for Greenland and the Faroe Islands.
