Limited Warranty Policy

A. GROUND FORCE warrants that the specialty equipment it manufactures, including accessory equipment and parts manufactured by GROUND FORCE, shall be free from:

1. 1. Defects in material and workmanship furnished by GROUND FORCE and used in the fabrication thereof;
2. 2. Defects arising from the selection of materials or processes of manufacture;
3. 3. Defects in the design thereof in view of the state of the art on the date hereof.

The foregoing warranty shall apply also to accessories, equipment and parts manufactured to GROUND FORCE detailed design and specifications and supplied to GROUND FORCE by other manufacturers.

B. GROUND FORCE makes no warranty with regard to component parts not manufactured or fabricated by it, but agrees to assign to the purchaser all of its rights under any original manufacturer’s warranty covering such component parts, and agrees to assist the purchaser in making such contacts with the manufacturer of such component parts as may be necessary to protect its right under the warranty covering them.

C. In case of defects in materials or workmanship or defects arising from the selection of material or processes of manufacture, such defects must become apparent in the machine, accessory, equipment or part within ONE CALENDAR YEAR or 5,000 hours of operation, whichever shall first expire upon commencement of final shipping of the machine to the original purchaser. The extent of GROUND FORCE liability under this warranty as to defects in material or workmanship and defects arising from the selection of materials or the processes of manufacture is limited to the repair of such defects or to the repair or replacement (with a similar item free from the defect in question) of any accessory, equipment, or part which is defective in any such respects.

D. The extent of GROUND FORCE liability under this warranty as to defects inherent in design is limited to the correction at its expense of all such defects becoming apparent in the machine, accessory, equipment or part purchased here within six months or 1,000 hours of use, whichever shall first expire.

E. The warranty of GROUND FORCE does not cover, and GROUND FORCE makes no warranty with respect to:

1. 1. Defects not reported and defective items not returned to GROUND FORCE within the warranty period
2. 2. Failure and damages due to misapplication, lack of proper maintenance, abuse, improper installation, or abnormal conditions of temperature, moisture, dirt or corrosive matter;
3. 3. Failure due to operation, intentional or otherwise, in any improper manner;
4. 4. 2. Damage caused by components, or parts, or accessories built by others or which were not manufactured or installed by GROUND FORCE;
5. 5. Any item which has in any way been altered by anyone other than an authorized representative of GROUND FORCE;
6. 6. Any item damaged in shipment or otherwise without the fault of GROUND FORCE.

GROUND FORCE shall in no way be liable for any expenses incurred by the purchaser in any attempt to repair, replace or rework any originally defective item of sale. GROUND FORCE shall in no way be liable for any losses, costs, forfeiture or damages (including loss of profits, liabilities of the purchaser, or its customers, or third persons, and all other consequential damages), whether direct or indirect, and whether or not resulting from or contributed to by the default or negligence of GROUND FORCE, its agents, employees and subcontractors, which might be claimed as a result of the defect, use or failure of the item delivered.

Except as stated, there is no warranty, express or implied, in connection with the design, manufacture, sale or use of the machinery, accessories, equipment and parts sold by GROUND FORCE. GROUND FORCE’s liability on its warranty shall in noevent exceed the cost of the item of sale.
