If the owner requires a serviceman to travel to a machine for diagnosis or repairs, any labour or travelling cost incurred must be met in full by the owner. TBX is not responsible for updating or upgrading completed machines with design changes that occur after production of the machine.
Any work whatsoever carried out during the warranty period shall mandatorily be performed by TBX or by a TBX authorised dealer, under penalty of forfeiture of the Warranty.
Any components deemed in the opinion of TBX to be defective will be repaired or a replacement supplied at no charge to the purchaser, such action being entirely at the discretion of TBX or its authorised representative. For any claim to be considered, evidence that the scheduled servicing has been maintained may be required.

• If the wind machine is altered in any way or tampered with by anyone other than TBX, their staff or authorized agents.
• Malfunctions due to faulty servicing, user inexperience or abnormal use.

TBX retain the right to require any part claimed defective to be returned for inspection before any decision or action if any will be undertaken.

Replacement parts provided under the terms of this Warranty are covered for the remainder of the Warranty period applicable to the product in which they are installed as if such part were original components of that product.
Where a claim is to be made for labour of any kind, detailed instructions and approval to carry them out must be first obtained from an authorised representative of TBX before any repair or replacement is effected.

As concerns parts or equipment that are not manufactured by TBX, in particular internal combustion engines, pumps and motors, hydraulic distributors and accessories, etc, the warranty is limited to that of the suppliers to TBX if over the above 12months.

TBX will use its best endeavours to supply the wind machines by the Projected Delivery Date however TBX will not be liable for any damages, losses or expenses for failure to deliver by the Projected Delivery Date.
