THIS WARRANTY ONLY APPLIES TO BERRY BPI AGRICULTURE SILAGE STRETCHFILM (“PRODUCT”) SOLD AND USED IN THE MARKET FOR WHICH IT WAS PRODUCED.  RE-SELLING THE PRODUCT INTO A REGION THAT HAS HIGHER SOLAR RADIATION THAN THE ONE FOR WHICH THE PRODUCT WAS INTENDED WILL INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY. 

Warranty
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Warranty, the Berry bpi agriculture company selling the Product (the “seller”) warrants to its customer acquiring the Product from the seller (the “customer”) that on delivery to the customer the Product shall: 

(a) correspond in all material respects with the seller’s specification for the Product; 

(b) be suitable for the application(s) described in the relevant instruction manual for the Product that is from time to time issued by the seller to the customer or to which the customer is otherwise directed in writing by the seller (including on a website or the packaging for the Product); and

(c) unless otherwise stated, protect against ultraviolet light radiation in the country to which the Product is delivered for a period of 12 months from the date of bale wrapping (provided the storage and use conditions as referred to below are fully complied with).

Any complaint against the seller on account of non-compliance with the Warranty set out above must be brought within two (2) years of the production year for the Product (being the year printed on the original pallet label).  All rights will be forfeited at the expiry of this time-limit.  If the Product supplied does not comply with this Warranty (which is subject to the limitations noted below), THE SELLER SHALL, AT ITS SOLE OPTION, REPAIR OR REPLACE THE AFFECTED PRODUCT AT THE SELLER’S EXPENSE.  If the seller takes such remedial action, then it shall have no further liability for any non-compliant Product.

• the customer who acquires Product direct from the relevant Berry bpi agriculture seller;

The Warranty does not cover, and the seller shall not be liable for, the Product failing to comply with the terms set out above or for any other defect or non-compliance because of any of the following: 

(i) failure to comply with the instructions for storage and proper use (as referred to below) and/or to relay said instructions to those users of the Product and/or such other persons as are required to know the same; or 

(ii) exposure to fertilizers, insecticides, weed killers, mineral oil or any form of sulphur, chlorine or iron; or

(v) the customer or any third party altering, repairing or attempting to alter or repair the affected Product without the written consent of the seller; or

(vi) the failing or other non-compliance is otherwise caused by the customer, its employees, officers, agents, subcontractors and/or any other third party.

Storage and Use Conditions   

Conditions of storage and use may severely affect the Product.  The following gives recommendations and conditions of storage and use to prevent circumstances beyond the seller’s control and factors which will limit the life of the Product.  Failure to comply with these recommendations and conditions will invalidate the seller’s Warranty if and to the extent that in the seller’s reasonable opinion they have contributed to any degradation of the Product (including without limitation UV degradation) or other defect or failure in the Product.   

• The Product must be stored in its original wrapping/packaging, in a dry and enclosed space, to be protected at all times from solar rays.  It should be stored on the pallet or off the ground and free from humidity.
