This is the only warranty given by Macrotec. No amendments or additions to the warranty shall be binding on Macrotec.

Macrotec Pressure Vessels are warrantied against faulty materials and workmanship during manufacture. Macrotec will at its sole discretion repair, or replace, the faulty item(s) with new or remanufactured one(s). This warranty expressly covers the pressure vessel only, and does not cover any other part or parts of the installation which may as a consequence of the failure or defect of the pressure vessel become damaged.

The period of warranty is calculated from the date of manufacture. Repairs or replacements carried out under warranty do not extend the warranty on the product.

Should the plant not be operated to The Company’s specifications or if any unapproved modifications are made or unapproved components installed by unauthorised operators and installers then all warranties shall be immediately void.

Should any component not be maintained in accordance with The Company’s specifications or be serviced by an unauthorised person then any warranty in relation to that component shall be immediately void.

Other Goods supplied by the Company shall have the original OEM warranty and any warranty claim will be subject to the approval of the original OEM.

This warranty is only valid if:

• The vessel is installed and operated in accordance with Macrotec specifications and procedures. This includes temperature and pressure parameters. See owner’s manual for more information;
