liability insurance regulation. It is also your responsibility to
ensure that you have the necessary equipment (pump truck, fork lift etc) to
move any goods into your premises.

stock and is subject to availability. Our delivery is done by third-party

will ensure to inform you ahead and refund the money paid for this service.

writing with supporting evidence such as initial installation report of a
qualified engineer, photos or video if required within this timescale. Warranty
will be rejected for commercial products not installed by a qualified engineer.
After 14 days from the invoice date, normal terms of warranty will apply.
Warranty stated is a 12 month parts only
warranty and no labour or engineer costs are covered.
A parts only warranty allows you to use your
own sourced fully qualified engineer (at your own cost) to assess the problem.
This must be followed by a full engineers' report on letter headed paper in PDF
format with supporting photos to be sent back to ourselves, within 30 days of
the reported fault, which we will then forward onto the product manufacturer.
Any warranty claims requested without a qualified engineer report and
supporting images will be rejected. Once approved by the manufacturer the parts
required will be sent to your desired location. The manufacturer requests that
the defective parts are to be sent back on repair of the unit. Failure to send
these defective parts back is unacceptable and will result in a full invoice
for the replacement parts. Failure to provide this report within 30 days
of this being reported will result in your warranty claim being rejected.
Quatrone (aam appliances ltd) does its utmost
to expedite all required parts as soon as possible but lead times may take 3-4
weeks depending on the required parts or location of the supplier. In some
instances, it may take longer than the time estimated but we would ensure to
keep you informed on the status during this period.
At our discretion, if we choose to cover the
products with a Back to Base warranty, the customer is responsible for the cost
of sending the product back to our warehouse while we cover the costs of
sending it back to you after being repaired.
Under the Back to Base warranty if the
product(s) are discovered to have ‘no fault found’ they will be returned to the
Customer, and the return costs will be the liability of the Customer. This also
applies to poor maintained or unhygienic products (strong/bad odours/food
remnants etc).
If item has been reported as faulty within the
first 14 days, we are happy to arrange for the return of this, however, we do
have the right to inspect this upon its return. If no fault is found or if the
item is found to be poorly maintained and therefore a fault has developed as a
result of this poor maintenance, then we will not be liable, and you will be
responsible for the collection of the item at your cost.
Quatrone (aam appliances ltd) is not liable
for any lost profits or business interruption that may have directly,
indirectly, or incidentally arisen from a faulty or defected unit. It is the
