Products that have been modified out of our Customer Service, or any product that has been opened without Kerlink’s previous agreement, will also be excluded from our warranty.

Products on which our warranty will not apply will be repaired and shipped back at the Customer’s expense.

Administrative costs can be charged if, after reception and tests, we consider that your product is fully operational and were not able to find any defect. Administrative costs will be established at 50% of the fixed repair price of your product.

Our repair delay is usually 25 business days. If a Service Contract has been signed between the Customer and Kerlink, your product will be handled with a higher priority. For more information on this Contract, please contact our Sales department.

This delay can be shorter depending on our Service workload.

However, this delay can also be longer if we need to purchase spare parts with a long lead time.
