Year 2001 Comprehensive Policy Statement

1. TERMS & CONDITIONS

Standard terms are Net 30 Days, and apply to all established customers. Past due accounts incur a monthly charge of 1½% on the unpaid balance. This is equal to 18% per year. All orders are subject to acceptance by Robinair. Possession of a Distributor Price List does not entitle the bearer to wholesale net prices or the purchase of the Robinair product line.

 
2. SHIPPING & HANDLING CHARGES

All shipments are F.O.B. Montpelier, OH unless otherwise specified.

  • On orders for shipment within the continental U.S. totaling $1,500.00 or more, no shipping and handling charges are applied.
  • On orders for shipment to Hawaii and Alaska totaling $3,000.00 or more, no shipping and handling charges will be applied.
  • Orders totaling less than $1,500.00 ($3,000.00 to Hawaii and Alaska) are shipped prepaid using Robinair’s most economical qualified carrier and shipping charges are added to the invoice.
  • On orders for shipment outside of the U.S. totaling $1,500 or more, Robinair will pay the inland freight to the U.S. freight forwarder using Robinair’s most economical qualified carrier.

Shipping charges do not apply for backordered shipments that were part of an order which originally qualified at $1,500.00 ($3,000.00 to Hawaii/Alaska).

 
3. SHORTAGES/DAMAGE CLAIMS

All claims for shortages or errors must be made within ten (10) days of receipt of shipment. Claims for in-transit damages must be made with the delivering carrier.

 
4. OPEN ACCOUNT AUTHORIZATION

Prior credit approval and authorization for open account status must be received before new accounts are accepted. A completed credit application, including three current commercial credit references with names and addresses, must be submitted to the appropriate product manager. Application forms may be obtained by contacting Robinair customer service at 1-800-628-6496. In order to open a credit account, an initial order with a net value of $10,000 or more must be placed.

Open account status may be revoked if payment performance or order activity does not meet Robinair’s standards.

 
5. RETURN POLICY

All returns must be accompanied by a copy of the Returned Goods Authorization (RGA) and have the RGA number clearly written on the outer packing carton (not the product carton). Any items returned without the RGA number clearly written on the outer packing carton will be refused.

Ship authorized returns to:
Robinair, SPX Corporation
655 Eisenhower Drive
Owatonna, MN 55060
Attn: Customer Returns, RGA#_______

All returns must be shipped freight prepaid. Robinair reserves the right of final approval on all returns.

 
6. STOCK ADJUSTMENT RETURNS

Requests for stock adjustment returns must comply with the above return policy. All stock adjustment returns will be subject to a restocking charge of 15% of the current selling price, adjusted to remove any discounts to the original sale.

The total dollar value of returns authorized per distributor will not exceed 4% of that distributor’s total dollar purchases for the prior calendar year and must be accompanied by an off-setting order of equal value.

Items which are returned must be in new and saleable condition. If not, additional restocking charges will apply at the discretion of Robinair and will be deducted from credit issued. Discontinued items are not returnable.

All stock adjustment returns of product purchased in a given year must be made in the first quarter (January 1 – March 31) of the following year. Stock adjustment returns will not be authorized at any other time.

To initiate a stock adjustment return, see your Robinair sales representative for Stock Return Request Form SA1100 or call the Robinair Customer Service Department for the form. The list of products to be returned will be reviewed and a Returned Goods Authorization (RGA) issued for those items Robinair deems acceptable. Only items approved on the RGA are returnable.

 
7. SPX CORPORATION LIMITED WARRANTY

THIS WARRANTY IS EXPRESSLY LIMITED TO ORIGINAL RETAIL BUYERS OF SPX’S AIR CONDITIONING/REFRIGERATION SERVICE TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT, COOLANT EXCHANGE/RECYCLING EQUIPMENT, AND FLUID CONTAMINATION REMOVAL EQUIPMENT. THIS WARRANTY IS NOT ASSIGNABLE OR TRANSFERRABLE. SPX MAKES NO WARRANTY TO ANYONE ELSE, INCLUDING OTHER PURCHASERS AND/OR USERS, AND NONE SHALL BE IMPLIED.

Units are warranted against defects in materials and workmanship for one year from the date of purchase, except for rebuilt items which are warranted for 90 days from the date of purchase.

The sole and exclusive remedy for any Unit found to be defective is repair or replacement at the option of SPX. If this exclusive remedy is deemed to have failed of its essential purpose, SPX’s liability shall not exceed the purchase price of the Unit. In no event will SPX be liable for any direct, indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages (including lost profit) whether based on warranty, contract, tort or any other legal theory.

This warranty does not cover any Unit that has been abused, altered, worn out, used for a purpose other than that for which it was intended, or used in a manner inconsistent with SPX’s instructions, including, but not limited to, these situations:

  • Use of Robinair recovery and recycling equipment with unauthorized refrigerants will void the warranty. Authorized refrigerants are listed on the equipment. Information is also available through our Technical Support Department at 1-800-822-5561.
  • Use of Robinair fluid contamination removal products with unauthorized cleaning solvents will void the warranty. Solvents approved for use are listed in the operating manuals.

The existence of a defect shall be determined by SPX in accordance with procedures established by SPX. No one is authorized to make any statement or representation altering the terms of this warranty.

THIS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

SOFTWARE

The above warranty applies to Unit software except that, instead of warranting against defect in materials and workmanship, SPX warrants that Unit software, when properly installed, will execute its programmed instructions. SPX does not warrant that software will operate uninterrupted or error free. Unit software is proprietary, confidential information protected under copyright law. Users have no right in or title to Unit software other than a limited right of use revocable by SPX. Unit software may not be transferred or disclosed without the written consent of SPX. Analyzer software may not be copied except in ordinary backup procedures.

“No Hassle” Exchange

Certain products listed below are covered by our “No Hassle” over-the-counter exchange policy. This policy covers defects in material or workmanship occurring within the later of one year from the initial retail purchase or 18 months from the date of manufacture.

As a distributor of Robinair products, you are authorized to provide a new, identical product at no charge in exchange for the defective in-warranty product covered by the “No Hassle” policy.

An offsetting credit will be issued upon receipt of the defective in-warranty item covered by the “No Hassle” policy. This return must be authorized through Robinair Customer Service with an RGA number. For returned products that do not qualify for the in-warranty claim, the distributor will be invoiced for inspection and handling charges.

For “No Hassle” claims on any of these products, you are required to verify only two points to establish in-warranty status:

  1. The item is within the warranty period. Proof of retail sale must be provided to receive an RGA number.
  2. The cause of the claim is truly due to manufacturing or material defect(s). A description of the defect must be included with the returned unit. Defects due to abuse, alterations, mishandling or accidental damage, or use for a purpose other than which it was intended, are not covered.
