5. Damage, Loss, Short Delivery & Repair
a) Risk of damage to or loss of the goods shall pass to the Buyer at the time of delivery or, if the Buyer wrongfully fails to take delivery of the goods, the time when the Seller has tendered delivery of the goods.

The Seller’s liability for damage or non-delivery of goods shall in any event be limited to the repair or replacement of goods within a time period of the Seller’s discretion (or at the Seller’s option, refunding the price thereof) whether the damage or non-delivery is due to the Seller’s negligence or otherwise.
d) For a period of 24 months following the order date, the Seller undertakes to repair goods without charge within a time period of the Seller’s discretion in the event only of product failure as a result of a proven manufacturing defect. The Seller is expressly not liable to undertake the repair or replacement of goods where: (i) any ordered good has been disassembled, reconfigured or where an unauthorised repair has been attempted or undertaken by the Buyer or any of their agents or representatives; or (ii) where failure is the full or partial result of excessive wear and tear, accidental damage, incorrect installation, improper use or improper transportation; or (iii) where the Buyer has not maintained or serviced the goods in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations, which can be found in the applicable manual or handbook, copies of which can be provided by the Seller on the request of the Buyer.
e) The Buyer is in any event responsible for all costs associated with the return of any good to the Seller for repair, replacement, improvement or alteration of any kind.
f) If the Buyer wishes to repair or alter the configuration or use of the goods themselves, and is deemed to have at their disposal suitably qualified persons to undertake such work, then the Seller at their discretion may supply the necessary parts for repair or alteration to take place and provide instructions for that repair or alteration. In any event, the Seller is not responsible for the outcome of the repair or alteration nor will the Seller be liable for that repair or alteration thereafter.
g) The Seller is under no obligation to undertake repair or replacement of any good under any circumstances once a period of 24 months following the order date has expired.
