www.malags.com 4 1.1 Unpacking and Inspection Great care should be taken when unpacking the equipment. Be sure to verify the contents shown on the packing list and inspect the equipment for any loose parts or other damage. All packing material should be preserved in the event that any damage occurred during shipping. Any claims for shipping damage should be filed to the carrier. Any claims for missing equipment or parts should be filed with Mala GeoScience. 1.2 Repacking and Shipping If original packing materials are unavailable, the equipment should be packed in a wooden box with at least 80 mm of absorbing material. Do not use shredded fibres, paper wood, or wool, as these materials tend to get compacted during shipment and permit the instruments to move around inside the package. 1.3 Limited Warranty and Liability Malå Geoscience warrants that, for a period of 12 months from the delivery date to the original purchaser, Malå Geoscience products will be free from defects in materials and workmanship. Except for the foregoing limited warranty, Malå Geoscience disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including nay warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. Malå Geoscience will repair and replace parts or equipment which are returned to Malå Geoscience, transportation and insurance pre-paid, without alteration or further damage, and which in Malå Geoscience´s judgement, were defective or became defective during normal use. Malå Geoscience assumes no liability for any direct, indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages or injures caused by proper or improper operation of its equipment or software, whether or not defective.
