GENERAL INFORMATION TO THE ATTENTION OF THE BUYER-USER OF FREESTANDING FLEXIBLE TANK

FOR THE STORAGE OF FILTERED EFFLUENTS

The guarantee period is indicated in the contractual documentation. (see above)

The guarantee period is one year (unless otherwise stated in the Contract – invoice/quotation) for the accessories, the production and electromechanical equipment provided that the installation and the utilisation of the tank comply with the recommendations.

No depreciation coefficient is applied to this warranty.

CITERNEO flexible tanks for the storage of effluents are designed to resist a storage temperature from -30 °C to +70 °C. Any storage of liquid which does not comply with the contractual features would result in loss of warranty.

ACQUISITION OF THE GUARANTEE

The application date of the guarantee is the date of issue of the invoice of the tank.

In case of warranty claim, the customer must:

• Prepare the site to facilitate access to the tank and equipment to repair.
• Empty and clean the tank to allow on-site repair and/or forwarding to the factory.

If it is proved that the material stamped and delivered by the Company CITERNEO is defective during the warranty period, CITERNEO will proceed to the repair on site or in the factory at its own expense, the exchange of the defective pieces, or the replacement of the tank, according to its choice and depending on the nature of the incident.
