The lack of an objection by Tri-Tronics to any and all revisions, alterations, or additions to the terms and conditions, as set forth herein, by the purchaser contained in any prior or subsequent purchase order or communication shall not be construed as a waiver or acceptance by Tri-Tronics.

CREDIT TERMS

Tri-Tronics reserves the right to decline any order if the purchaser fails to provide necessary credit information regarding the purchaser's ability and willingness to pay for the merchandise within the invoice terms. Tri-Tronics may, as an alternative to refusing the order, require an advance payment, a credit card, or a C.O.D. shipment. If a purchaser defaults in payment for orders shipped on credit, the purchaser shall be responsible for all reasonable collection costs and expenses, and Tri-Tronics shall not be obligated to make any further shipments to the purchaser.

SHIPPING

Tri-Tronics will ship the merchandise to the purchaser as soon as possible after the receipt of an order.

DAMAGE AND LOSS

All Tri-Tronics products are packed and labeled for shipment adhering to good commercial packaging techniques. Upon delivery to the carrier for shipment, responsibility for delivery intact to its destination rests with the carrier. Upon receipt of the shipment at its destination, the merchandise should be inspected for visible or concealed damage. We must be notified within 48 hours of receipt if there are any discrepancies or shortages. Claims for damage or loss should be filed with the carrier immediately. Tri-Tronics will assist whenever possible in securing adjustment of claims; however, all claims for damage or loss must be initiated by the shipper directly to the carrier. Remedies available for Tri-Tronics' nonperformance of any duties and obligations arising from the terms and conditions of sale shall exclude incidental and consequential damages.

RETURN POLICY

Tri-Tronics Co. warrants its products to be free from defects from the original shipment date for a period of:

  • Encoder Products - 24 months
  • Industrial Products - 1 year
  • Elevator Products - 3 years
  • Special Controls - 5 Years

Within the warranty period, the product will be repaired or replaced at Tri-Tronics' option, when the product is returned to the factory. This warranty does not apply to any product that has been subjected to misuse, negligence, accident, or misapplied or modified or repaired usage by unauthorized persons, or as a result of improper installations thereof.

RETURN OF MERCHANDISE

Any material returns must be marked with a Return of Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number that shall be obtained from Tri-Tronics. Please contact us at orders@ttco.com or call 800-237-0946 for your RMA number. All material must be properly packed and shipped prepaid no later than 30 days after the RMA number is issued. If the material is not received within 30 days, the RMA will be cancelled. No C.O.D. shipments will be accepted. Any materials being returned for credit will be subject to examination by Tri-Tronics for customer misuse or abuse before determining the amount of credit. A minimum restocking fee of 10% may apply. A Return of Merchandise Authorization number does not guarantee a refund or replacement.

For any repair not covered by warranty, your contractual Payment Terms will be applicable. Customers without established Payment Terms must pay for the repair before shipment. Failure to receive payment within 30 days from the Customer Service Notification of repair completion will result in disposal of the material. Upon disposal, our obligations regarding the return or credit for the repair shall cease, and no further action will be taken.

Only product that is “like new” and can be resold, will be accepted for return. Since most Tri-Tronics encoder products are “built to order”, a typical charge of $35 (or 25%) will apply to each item returned to cover the cost of retesting and/or converting the product to an item that can be resold.

REFUNDS/CREDITS

Refunds/credits for web sales charged to a credit card are limited to 90 days from the date the card is charged. No refund/credit can be made to a credit card after that time.
