Limited Warranty

Products Manufactured by Terra: Terra Universal, Inc., warrants products that it manufactures to be free from defects for a period of 12 months for parts and 90 days for labor, commencing from the date of shipment. This limited warranty covers parts and labor, but not transportation and insurance charges. Terra’s sole responsibility is to repair or replace, at its option, any part of the product that proves defective or malfunctioning during this time limit. This excludes minor defects that do not affect the function, form, performance, or safety of the product. For modular cleanrooms, standard warranty coverage requires professional installation by Terra Universal. In some cases, components incorporated in Terra Universal products are covered by additional warranties from component manufacturers; obtain specific information from Terra sales representatives. Repairs may be completed by 3rd party service agents approved by Terra Universal. Terra Universal reserves the rights to limit this warranty based on a service agent’s travel, working hours, the site’s entry restrictions and unobstructed access to serviceable components of the product. This warranty is void if the equipment is abused or modified by the customer, is operated outside Terra’s operating instructions or specifications, or is used in any application other than that for which it is specified. This warranty does not include routine maintenance or service procedures, shipping damage, nor damage from misuse, intentional or unintentional abuse, neglect, natural disasters, or acts of God.

Products Manufactured by Others: Terra Universal, Inc., warrants that, to the best of its ability, Terra’s representations of products that are manufactured by others reflect the manufacturer’s representations, subject to change without notice. Sole warranty for these products is the original manufacturer’s warranty that is passed forward to the purchaser and constitutes the customer’s sole remedy for these products. Detailed warranties for distributed products are available through Terra sales representatives.

Freight Shortage or Damage: Upon receipt of any equipment from Terra Universal, Inc., customer shall immediately unpack and inspect for damage or shortage. The customer shall not accept a damaged package or a short shipment until the carrier makes a "damage or shortage" notation on both the carrier's and customer's copy of the freight bill or delivery receipt. Service title passes when the shipment is loaded, so customer is responsible for filing and collecting a freight claim. Any replacement products must be ordered and paid for separately. For Terra's "Policy and Procedures for Returning Goods," see Terra's Internet site: www.TerraUniversal.com.

Generally, customers can improve the chance of collecting on a freight claim by following these procedures: 1) formally requesting that the carrier inspect the shipment immediately upon suspecting damage or shortage to verify condition; 2) notifying the carrier upon discovery of concealed damage and requesting an inspection within 15 days of receipt, both in person or phone and following up via mail; 3) keeping the shipment as intact as possible, including retaining original packaging materials and keeping the product as close to the original receiving location as possible; 4) holding salvage for disposition by the carrier.

All Claims: Terra Universal expressly disclaims all other warranties, expressed or implied or implied by statute, including the warranties of merchantability or fitness for intended use. Terra Universal is not responsible for consequential or incidental damages arising out of the purchase or use of the products supplied by Terra Universal. Terra Universal is not liable for damage to facilities, other equipment, products, property or personnel of others, or of their agents, suppliers, or affiliated parties, which is caused or alleged to have been caused by products supplied by Terra Universal. In any event or series of events, Terra Universal’s total liability for any and all damages whatsoever is limited to the lesser of the actual damages or the original invoice cost of the items alleged to have caused the damage. The customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for any cause of action whatsoever is repair or replacement of the non-conforming products or refund of the actual purchase price, at the sole option of Terra Universal. All claims must be made in writing within 90 days of the date the product was shipped. Any claims not made within this time limit shall be deemed waived by the customer. Terra Universal is not responsible for any additional costs of repair caused by poor packaging or in-shipment damage during return.

Warranty Returns: All warranty returns must be authorized in advance by Terra Universal and approved under an RMA. Unless approved in advance for good reason, all returns must be in original condition, including all manuals, and must be packaged in original packaging materials. All returned goods are to be shipped to Terra Universal, freight prepaid at customer’s expense. See Terra’s “Policy and Procedure for Returned Goods.”
