RETURN POLICY:

Standard catalog material may be returned only upon written authorization of seller. Credit will be issued to the Buyer’s account toward purchase of additional material only. Obsolete, discontinued or specialty produced items will not be accepted for return and credit.

When return results from causes involving Buyer’s responsibility, credit for saleable goods returned will be issued at invoice price less a 25% restocking charge for handling and inspection. Return of less than $200.00 net price will not be allowed. For other than saleable goods returned, any necessary charges to render the returned material saleable will be added. Galvanized material will be credited at the same value as painted cast iron. Specialty items will be credited at the value of standard. On all returns, incoming and outgoing freight charges to and from Michigan City, Indiana, will be deducted from any credit allowed.

WARRANTY:

Our products are warranted to be free of defects in material and workmanship, but our liability shall be limited solely to those defects, which our inspection finds to be due to our fault.

WE SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LABOR CHARGES OR ANY LOSS, INJURY OR DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. The sole and exclusive remedy shall be limited to the replacement or repair of the defective goods at the Seller’s discretion. Before installation and use, Buyer assumes all risk and liability whatever in connection therewith.

QUOTATIONS:

If an order is received within this 30- day period, it must indicate a release of material for shipment within 60 days from date of order, and all released shipments will be protected at prices quoted. If order is not released by customer within this 60-day period, it will be priced at discount prevailing at time of shipment.

EXPORT ORDERS:
