Warranty is subject to the following

Service Hours 

1. Timing of the service will be performed at mutually agreeable times worked out by both parties and will be during normal working hours (8:00 AM to 5:00 PM), Monday through Friday, holidays excluded. Customers requesting service outside of normal working hours will be charged at 100% of the published service rates then in effect and will pay for travel and labor time.

Site Approval 

1. An initial site survey may be undertaken by a Rankin Biomedical representative to determine if the Customer site meets all environmental and electrical specifications for the equipment, as prescribed by Rankin Biomedical. If, at any time during the term of this agreement, the site does not meet Rankin Biomedical specifications prescribed for the equipment, Rankin Biomedical’s obligations hereunder will be suspended until the site satisfies such specifications. In the event the Customer moves the equipment, or any part thereof, from the site, Rankin Biomedical reserves the right, in addition to any other rights it has with respect to the site approval, to impose a re-installation charge for any additional site survey costs incurred by Rankin Biomedical. If Rankin Biomedical is required to perform any special services that are needed to restore the equipment back to its intended purpose, and which are not of Rankin’s doing at the Customers site, the Customer will be invoiced for these special services rendered. Invoices shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days after the date of the invoice. Past due invoices will carry a late charge of 1 1/2% per month.
