7. DEFECTS AND WARRANTY PERIOD

    1. Where Goods are delivered damaged, then it is the responsibility of the Customer to:
      1. where Goods are manually offloaded by the Customer by hand, note this on the POD, ask the Company driver to witness and send an e-mail to the Company within 24 hours requesting a remake and specifying the damage or defect.
      2. where Goods are mechanically off loaded, enable the Company’s driver to conduct a check and take photographs once the Goods are off loaded.  The Customer then has 24 hours to both inspect the Goods and report any damage in writing to the Company, after this period any remake orders will be seen as a new Order and will be chargeable.
    2. Any damaged or defective Goods notified to the Company in accordance with clause 7.1 shall be eligible for remake and redelivery once approved by the Company under clause 7.4.
    3. Where Goods are to be collected by the Customer, the Customer shall check the Goods at the time of collection and immediately provide to the Company written notification of any defects or damage. The Goods shall then remain with the Company for inspection upon which the Company shall notify the Customer without undue delay in relation to any remake and redelivery or credit note.  If the Goods are removed from the Company’s premises prior to such notification being provided to the Company, the Customer shall then be liable for any remake and redelivery costs.
    4. All remake requests are subject to inspection by the Company and must be returned by the Customer.  Where the Company has delivered the Goods in question, it shall collect the Goods at a time that is suitable and shall arrange this with the Customer.
    5. Where warranted, a credit on the Customer’s account will be raised for a remake. All Goods will be inspected under the Glass & Glazing Federation (GGF) guidelines and as per the Company’s remake and credit on return policy (copies of each can be made available to the Customer upon request).
    6. If upon inspection the Company determines that the Goods are not considered to have been damaged, or any such damage is attributable to the Customer (or its employees, agents or subcontracts), the Company shall notify the Customer without undue delay. The Customer may then arrange the collection or re-delivery of the Goods and the Company reserves the right to invoice the Customer all delivery charges relating to its initial collection of the Goods (where applicable) and for any re-delivery of the Goods.  Any such re-delivery, or collection by the Customer, may be withheld until payment has been made by the Customer.
    7. Warranty period.
      1. No warranties are provided for the Goods other than in relation to the specific types of Goods as set out in this clause 7.7. Any Goods not described in this clause 7.7 shall not be covered by any warranty period and the Customers sole remedy in relation to such Goods shall be the right to inspect and notify the Company of defects in accordance with clauses 7.1 and 7.3.
      2. Standard sealed Goods have a warranty period of five years from the date of delivery or collection and this is for failure of the side seal or degeneration of coated glass. Marks or scratches are not covered.

      4. Toughened Laminate glass Goods have a warranty period of five years from the date of delivery or collection.
      5. Heritage sealed Goods are provided without any warranty. The Customer will be duly notified of this fact at the time of purchasing heritage sealed Goods. Therefore, the Company disclaims all liability for any issues that may arise after the completion of the installation process.
      6. To make a warranty claim, the Customer must provide written notice to the Company without undue delay and provide such evidence of the issue the Company may request. The Company may, at its discretion, require its compliance officer to physically inspect the Goods in which case the Company shall notify the Customer and the Customer shall make such necessary arrangements as required to enable the compliance officer to conduct an inspection. The compliance officer’s decision in relation to any warranty claim shall be final. If collection of the Goods is determined to be necessary by the Company, the Company shall notify the Customer and no charges shall be incurred by the Customer in relation to the collection.
    8. Excluded from warranty.
      1. Goods marked on the outside and not reported to the Company in accordance with clauses 7.1 or 7.3.

The Customer shall not be entitled to make any retrospective price related complaints once the invoice has been paid.
