Failure by WGI to deliver any one or more of the installments in accordance with these Conditions or any claim by Customer in respect of any one or more installments shall not entitle Customer to treat a Contract as repudiated or to cancel any other installment.
  • e. If Customer fails to take delivery of the Products or fails to give WGI adequate delivery instructions in its Purchase Order, then, without prejudice to any other right or remedy available, WGI may: (i) store the Products until actual delivery and charge Customer for the reasonable costs thereof, including insurance costs; or (ii) terminate the Contract forthwith and sell the Products.

Customer shall concurrently notify the carrier in writing of any such error, loss or damage and shall, in all cases, where possible, enter a note of the same upon the carrier’s bill of lading or other delivery receipt. If by reason of Customer’s failure to give any such notice as provided above WGI is unable to make recovery from the carriers in respect of the error, loss or damage complained of, then Customer shall be liable to pay for Products as though no such error, loss or damage occurred.

Any and all specifications, descriptions, photographs, measurements, capacities or illustrations contained in any catalogues, price lists, brochures, leaflets, proposals, advertising matter, publications of WGI or a Supplier are intended to be illustrative and approximate only and shall not form part of a Contract or constitute a representation, warranty or condition regarding any Products unless specifically agreed by written agreement between the Customer and WGI.

Customer acknowledges that it has not been induced to accept these Conditions by any representations or statement, oral or written, not expressly contained herein.

11. Warranty.

  • a. Customer understands that WGI is not the Supplier of the Products. Accordingly, all Products are sold subject to the express warranty terms, if any, specified by the original Supplier of the Products.

WGI will pass through to Customer all warranties that WGI is expressly authorized by the original Supplier to pass through to Customer.

Upon receipt of notification of such Claim, WGI shall notify Customer whether, as a matter of Supplier policy, the Claim must be handled directly with the Supplier or indirectly through WGI. In the event the Claim must be handled directly between Customer and Supplier, WGI shall provide contact information to enable Customer to contact Supplier. In the event the Claim will be handled by WGI, then WGI shall provide Customer with a return material authorization (“RMA”) for Customer to return the Products to WGI, and Customer shall return such Products to WGI in accordance with these Conditions and WGI’s then current RMA policy (which shall be made available to Customer upon request).
  • c. No Products may be returned to WGI without a valid RMA number displayed on the Products packaging. Any Products returned without a valid RMA number displayed on the Products packaging will be refused or returned.

Replacement Product may be new or used. After the first ninety (90) days from receipt of the Product by Customer, and unless otherwise directed by WGI, the Customer must contact the Supplier directly for any warranty repair or replacement services.

During the first ninety (90) days after Customer’s receipt of the Product, WGI is responsible for all shipping fees associated with a warranty claim (including, without limitation, both return of the defective Product and shipment of the replacement Product). Customer shall be responsible for any such shipping costs for warranty claims made after such initial ninety (90) day period.
  • e. Customer agrees that WGI’s sole liability to Customer regarding any Product defect claims is limited to the administration of such claims with the Supplier, and as set forth herein. After the first ninety (90) days from Customer’s receipt of Product, WGI’s liability to Customer regarding any Product defect claims is limited to and is expressly contingent upon WGI’s ability to obtain a refund, credit or replacement Products from the Supplier. WGI has no obligation to accept a return of Products where the Customer fails to comply with Supplier’s policy on Product returns.
  • f. WGI shall not be liable or responsible for administering any defect or other claim which arises from normal wear and tear, misuse, negligence, accident, abuse, use not in accordance with Supplier’s Product documentation, modification or alteration not authorised by Supplier, or use in conjunction with a third party product. WGI reserves the right to determine whether any Products are defective.

13. Warranty Returns.

  • a. Any Products returned pursuant to an RMA issued by WGI must be shipped to WGI within seven (7) working days of the date of such RMA. For all returned Products (whether pursuant to a warranty claim or Section 4 herein), Customer will request RingCentral to initiate an RMA request with WGI on Customer’s behalf. Following an RMA request, WGI shall issue an RMA number and issue a shipping label to RingCentral via electronic exchange.
  • b. Customer irrevocably authorizes WGI to carry out any necessary tasks related to the repair or replacement of Products on behalf of Customer under these Conditions.
