The products inserted in the present price list are realized in conformity to the technical and constructive specifications of the producer. See our technical manual. The producer guarantees the repair or, at his sole judgement, the replacement of the defected products for which has been claimed within the term of 30 days from the signature on the transportation document at receipt of the goods. In no case the guarantee shall be considered valid after one year from the fabrication of the product.The guarantee covers the manpower and the materials necessary for the repair or the substitution of the product, while travel costs board and lodging of the technicians remain at purchaser’s expenses.

The initial guarantee of the producer can be prolonged to the condition that maintenance on the product is done, both installed or still stored; this prolongment will not be granted if that maintenance will not be effected from the producer or from staff authorized by the producer. The frequancy of the maintenance depends on the functional cycles (opening/closing) to which the doors are submitted. Following use levels are set for each door:

LEVEL	NUMBER OF CYCLES	FREQUENCY
Normal	Up to 15.000 cycles per year	Annual
Intensive	Up to 30.000 cycles per year	Biannual
Very intensive	Up to 60.000 cycles per year	Quarterly

With reference to above some considerations are necessary.

1. That a level higher than 60.000 cycles per year is a case out of normality, for this reason the frequency of the maintenance and the special precautions must be determinated case by case at order time involving the technical department of the producer.
2. That the maintenance level can vary depending on the accessories installed on the door or after its installation.

In no event the manufacturer shall be liable for defects resulting form:

• Any irregularity resulting from improper installation of materials or not completed in accordance with the manufacturer (see the assembly instructions);
