Warranty

Dalmatian Fire Equipment, LLC (“Dalmatian”) warrants to the original purchaser (“Buyer”) that the reconditioned SCBA and SCBA cylinder products sold to Buyer by Dalmatian (the “Equipment”) will be free from defects in materials and workmanship, normal wear and tear excepted, subject to ALL restrictions and limitations stated in this warranty document (“Warranty”), for a period of 60 months from the date of purchase from Dalmatian, or until the end of the legal service life of the cylinder, whichever occurs earlier. Dalmatian will replace or repair any part found by Dalmatian to be defective in material or workmanship within the stated warranty period without charge for parts and labor, subject to the limitations stated below. Dalmatian’s sole obligation under this warranty shall be to replace or repair defects in materials and workmanship. Dalmatian makes no other warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, or with respect to patent or copyright infringement, title, or any other waivable warranty.

Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Dalmatian is not a manufacturer, supplier, or distributor of the Equipment, and that the Equipment was previously used and then refurbished by Dalmatian.

If applicable, Dalmatian hereby transfers to Buyer all warranties on the Equipment, if any, made by the original manufacturer, subject to the manufacturer’s original terms and conditions. The Buyer shall comply with and enforce such warranties. Dalmatian is not liable to Buyer for any modification or rescission of any original manufacturer warranties.

RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITATIONS:

This Warranty applies to all components of the Equipment, including all accessories and optional equipment supplied at the time of original sale of the SCBA products by Dalmatian to the Buyer, EXCEPT as limited as follows:

Subject to Parts Availability. Dalmatian does not manufacture parts for the Equipment. Therefore, this Warranty is conditioned on Dalmatian’s ability to obtain the required parts from the original manufacturer of the Equipment.

Damages Limitations. Dalmatian shall not be liable for any consequential damages, lost productive hours, lost profits, special damages, punitive damages, damages related to customer inconvenience, or any contingent liabilities under this Warranty. Dalmatian’s sole liability under this Warranty shall be to replace or repair defects in materials and workmanship, subject to parts availability.

No Outside Repairs or Alterations. THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT APPLY TO DEFECTS OR DAMAGE CAUSED BY ANY REPAIRS OF OR ALTERATIONS TO THE SCBA PRODUCTS MADE BY OWNER OR ANY THIRD PARTY. Only persons specifically authorized by Dalmatian shall perform warranty work on the Equipment. Any work performed by unauthorized persons shall void this Warranty.

No Misuse or Lack of Maintenance or Normal Wear. Dalmatian does not warrant the failure of Equipment resulting from misuse, improper adjustment, lack of proper maintenance, or from general wear. During normal usage, the materials on the interior of some cylinders may develop minor pits which are acceptable under the DOT regulations covering hydrostat testing at the time of original delivery of the cylinder to Buyer. Buyer acknowledges that some pitting is acceptable and is not covered by this Warranty. Level 2 or level 3 damage to a cylinder is considered abuse and voids this Warranty.

SCBAs Require Visual Inspection and Functional Test Every 24 Months. SCBAs require visual inspections and functional tests be performed by Dalmatian within 24 months after the original date of purchase by Buyer, and every 24 months thereafter. Dalmatian will provide the first visual inspection and functional test free of charge (shipping charges will apply), beginning no more than 90 days before such inspection functional test is due to be completed. Buyer’s failure to obtain such an inspection/functional test within the required time voids this Warranty with respect to SCBA Equipment.

SCBA Cylinders Require Visual Inspection and Hydrostat Test Every 60 Months. SCBA cylinders require visual inspections and hydrostat tests be performed by Dalmatian within 60 months after the original date of purchase by Buyer and every 60 months thereafter. Dalmatian will provide the first visual inspection and hydrostat test free of charge (shipping charges will apply), beginning no more than 90 days before such inspection/hydrostat test is due to be completed. Buyer’s failure to obtain such an inspection/hydrostat test within the required time voids this Warranty with respect to SCBA cylinders.

No Shipping Damage. Damage to the Equipment that occurs during transport by a third-party carrier is specifically excluded from this Warranty.

No Elastomeric or Rubber Parts or Lenses. This Warranty does not extend to expendable parts such as, but not limited to, any elastomeric (rubber) components, face piece lenses, gauge lenses, and other plastic or elastomeric (rubber) parts since they can be affected adversely by excess exposure to heat, sun, water, or to other corrosive chemicals.

No Wires, Cables, Connectors or Electronics. Dalmatian limits this Warranty with respect to cables, wires, connectors, and other electronic components to 90 days after purchase as these can corrode, degrade, fray, and lose connectivity during the ordinary course of extreme usage in firefighting situations.

Equipment Other Than SCBAs and SCBA Cylinders. Any Equipment sold by Dalmatian which is not an SCBA or an SCBA cylinder will be warranted for 90 days from Buyer’s date of purchase, subject to all other limitations specified in this Warranty.

No Original Manufacturer Exclusions. Items specifically excluded from the manufacturer’s original warranty are also specifically excluded from this Warranty.

Replace or Repair Only. Dalmatian’s obligations under this Warranty are limited to replacing or repairing (at Dalmatian’s option) the SCBA, SCBA cylinder, or SCBA components that are determined to be defective by our Dalmatian technicians. Only approved Dalmatian technicians may perform Dalmatian’s warranty obligations.

Not Transferable. This Warranty is applicable to the original Buyer and cannot be transferred to subsequent owners of the Equipment or of the Buyer’s entity or business.

Void if Serial Number Defaced. THIS WARRANTY BECOMES VOID IF THE SERIAL NUMBER AFFIXED TO THE SCBA/CYL IS REMOVED, OBLITERATED, OR DEFACED. Should Dalmatian’s technicians deem the malfunction a result of an accident, alteration, misuse, or abuse, the repairs will not be covered by the Warranty and the Buyer will be responsible for all shipping and repair costs. Written notification will be provided before repairs are made in the event Buyer is deemed responsible.

Serial Number Verification Required. PLEASE RETAIN THE POSICHECK TEST RESULTS FOR THE AIR PACKS AND PACKING SLIP FOR THE CYLINDERS AS THEY CONTAIN THE SERIAL NUMBERS OF THE UNITS AND WILL BE NEEDED TO CONFIRM THE WARRANTY.

RETURN PROCEDURES

WITHIN 60 MONTHS FROM THE DATE OF PURCHASE BY BUYER, ANY DEFECTIVE PRODUCT SHOULD BE RETURNED TO DALMATIAN WITH: 1) A RETURN AUTHORIZATION NUMBER (which can be obtained by calling 970-454-9700); and 2) PROOF OF PURCHASE SHOWING SERIAL NUMBERS (which are shown on the Posichek test results for SCBA’s and on the original packing slip for Cylinders).  AFTER RECEIVING THE PRODUCT(S), DALMATIAN WILL MAKE A FINAL DETERMINATION OF WHETHER THE PRODUCT IS COVERED BY THIS WARRANTY. IF DALMATIAN DETERMINES, IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION, THAT THE DAMAGES TO THE EQUIPMENT WERE CAUSED BY ACCIDENT, ALTERATION, MISUSE, SHIPPING ISSUES, OR ABUSE, DALMATIAN WILL SEND BUYER AN ESTIMATE FOR REPAIRS AND CHARGE BUYER FOR RETURN SHIPPING. IF THE DEFECTS ARE COVERED UNDER THIS WARRANTY, DALMATIAN WILL REPAIR OR REPLACE THE ITEMS AND RETURN THEM TO BUYER WITH SHIPPING PREPAID (IF TO THE US OR CANADA).
