This LGMA South Africa Warranty Statement applies to its Authorized LGMA South Africa Dealers, who extend this Warranty Statement to end-users/owners of LGMA South Africa products or directly to end-users/owners from the LGMA South Africa Distributor. LGMA South Africa acts as an International Trading Company and is not the ORIGINAL Manufacturer of its products. Therefore, the Authorized LGMA South Africa Dealer and end-user/owner must rely solely on the warranty, if any, provided by the respective Manufacturers of LGMA South Africa Products and/or other Component Manufacturers, including but not limited to engines, pumps, tires, and batteries. LGMA South Africa extends its Product Manufacturers and Component Manufacturers “Limited Parts Only Warranty” for a period of 1500 hours/12 months, whichever occurs first, for the Machine, and 2000 hours/12 months, whichever occurs first, for the Engine. The warranty period begins upon delivery, upon the signing of this Warranty Agreement. During the warranty period, LGMA South Africa shall provide “Parts Only” without charge for the replacement part that fails due to defects in material and workmanship. The end-user/owner must promptly notify the authorized LGMA South Africa Dealer/Distributor of the defect, submit a warranty claim according to the LGMA South Africa Warranty Claim Policy and Procedures, including a completed written warranty claim form submitted via email to the Authorized Dealer, LGMA South Africa Head Office, or Distributor. The end-user/owner must allow reasonable time for the replacement of the relevant failed part, if authorized by LGMA South Africa Product and/or Component Manufacturers. A portion of the warranty claim form must be completed by the end-user/owner’s selected qualified technician. LGMA South Africa may require additional evidence of the relevant failed part to process certain warranty claims, such as information, photos, and/or videos. LGMA South Africa may, at its discretion, override a possible turn-down claim from its Product and Component Manufacturers and replace a claimed defective part in Goodwill or invoice a portion of the Replacement Value of the Part. LGMA South Africa may, at its option, request failed parts or the Product to be returned to the Authorized LGMA South Africa Dealer, LGMA South Africa Head Office, or Distributor. Transportation of the Product or defective part to and from the Authorized Dealer, LGMA South Africa Head Office, or Distributor for warranty replacement is the responsibility of the end-user/owner. Warranty claim investigation/testing and motivation cost, labor for reinstalling the warranty replacement part/s, etc., will be the responsibility of the end-user/owner. LGMA South Africa’s Warranty Statement and After Sale Service Policy allow the end user/owner to appoint its own fully qualified third-party service agent of their choice to service the LGMA South Africa product according to the LGMA South Africa Service/Operator Manuals or Industry Standards. LGMA South Africa guidelines state that the product must always be serviced by a full-time occupational Qualified Diesel Mechanic for servicing the engine, a full-time occupational qualified Auto Electrician for servicing the Electrical Components, and a full-time occupational Hydraulic Expert for servicing the Hydraulics of the Product. LGMA South Africa may request a copy of the appointed qualified third-party service agent’s qualifications at any time. The LGMA South Africa Authorized Dealer, LGMA South Africa Head Office, or Distributor may require a copy of every job card with every service performed during the warranty period from the end-user/owner, as outlined in the Service/Operators Manual. LGMA South Africa reserves the right to conduct a Maintenance and Warranty Inspection during the warranty period of the LGMA South Africa Product as used by the end-user/owner at the premises where the product is used. Such a Maintenance and Warranty Inspection will be arranged in advance with the end-user/owner and will aim to establish proper operation and maintenance of the product according to the Operator/Service manuals. The Maintenance and Warranty Inspection may include an audit of daily checks, service job cards, operator qualifications, and any other checks and controls that LGMA South Africa may find suitable to establish a full report to the end-user/owner on the state of the product and possible listing of upfront warranty parts replacement. Such a report may also be used to deny future warranty claims if it is found that the product is not maintained or operated according to the LGMA South Africa Operator/service Manuals. All service & other parts must be purchased from the Authorized LGMA South Africa Dealer, LGMA South Africa Head Office, or Distributor within the warranty period.
