Specifications
Product specifications are offered as a guide and although all care is taken to ascertain that products will conform to the stated specification Benelec does not warrant that any product supplied by BENELEC will comply exactly to the stated specifications.
Specifications for products designed and manufactured by BENELEC are based on tests conducted on manufactured products and are always typical or average. There will always be some manufacturing tolerance and wherever possible this will be stated in the specifications. Where specifications cannot be derived from tests these will be derived from theoretical calculations based on known modelling criteria or will be estimated.
Specifications for products not manufactured by Benelec are mainly derived from those provided by manufacturers and although all care is taken to ensure that these are described accurately in all BENELEC publications, no direct or consequential responsibility can be attributed to BENELEC as a result of any inaccuracy in those Specifications.
BENELEC reserves the right to modify products or specifications at its own discretion, without prior notice, provided this does not deteriorate the quality, performance or functionality of the end product.
Limited Liability
BENELEC shall not be liable for any direct or consequential loss arising from the breakdown or malfunction of any products it supplies or for any loss or damage of whatsoever kind, howsoever arising in any way connected with these products.
BENELEC’s liability will always be limited to the repair, replacement or refund of the value of the goods, at its own and absolute discretion and provided that these goods are still under warranty and that none of the warranty conditions have been breached.
Good Returned Under Warranty
Returned goods will not be accepted for repair, replacement or credit, unless prior consent has been given by BENELEC and these returns have been made within 14 days from the date of receipt of the goods.
