SYSTEMS RESPONSIBILITIES/WARRANTY

Telemobile communications equipment requires proper installation and handling to maintain the factory warranty. Telemobile requires a field survey be performed by Telemobile to insure that an acceptable radio path and/or link is achievable. All engineering work, field survey, shipping, handling, training, travel expenses and installation costs are not included in the hardware pieces.

If a field survey and/or installation is not specifically included, prices quoted are an indication of a typical system to be installed by an independent contractor whereby the contractor assumes any and all system responsibilities and/or liabilities (including handling, installation, training and operation).

If the equipment is properly installed/handled as deemed by Telemobile, Telemobile will warrant each Telemobile-supplied component under the standard factory warranty against material and workmanship defects. Unless agreed otherwise, the warranty will become effective at the time of dispatch from the factory. If requested and agreed by Telemobile in writing, a period of up to 30 days may be granted (to cover shipping and installation) before the 12 month warranty period goes into effect.

In many cases, the system's configuration (and its cost) will need to be changed from the typical examples shown in Telemobile literature to one that fits the installation's unique terrain and/or operating parameters.

Telemobile offers a comprehensive field survey, system design-aid, installation/installation-supervision and training program which provides factory engineering support through the installation/commissioning stages.

(Telemobile is not responsible, and may exercise its option to charge for delays due to circumstances beyond its control. Examples are negligence on the part of the local agent/customer, delays in local transportation, delays caused by customs/immigration, inability to reach the installation sites, local unrest, etc.)

CANCELLATION:

The order cancellation charge is based on the value of the order itself. The cancellation charge will change depending on how much work and order processing has been done on the particular order that is going to be cancelled/has been cancelled.

If the order has not yet gone through the systems check area, for final tuning, adjustments, etc. the order cancellation charge is 25% of the equipment value.

If the order has been processed through our systems area, the order cancellation charge is 50% of the equipment value.

If the systems techs have already processed the equipment, it in most cases will have to be "unprocessed", dismantled and checked out, so that the radios can be used on other orders. This is double technician time not just single technician time that is used in order to process and ship to the customer.

Telemobile's policy is that no credit returns will be accepted. All sales are final. However, if an order has shipped to the customer and has any signs of wear when returned to Telemobile Inc. for requested credit and/or refund, the 50% of the equipment value applies. Before we can determine the value, we must deduct any missing or damaged items, and deduct any special labor or other non-recoverable costs, such as freight, special handling, etc. There will also be deductions for damaged or missing packing material and documentation before applying the 50% charge.

MINIMUM ORDER, MINIMUM FREIGHT:

Telemobile Inc. has a minimum order amount of $25.00 and a minimum freight charge of $10.00 (+ $10.00 if COD). If the part cost or freight cost exceeds this amount, the higher number will be used.

ORDERS "ON HOLD"

All orders that are "on-hold" for more than six months are subject to cancellation at the sole discretion of Telemobile Inc. If, and when these orders are cancelled, the cancellation charge of 25% or 50% (see above) will apply.
