The final and entire agreement pertaining to the sale of goods to Buyer by RigidIron Fitness is set forth herein; any prior understandings, agreements, and representations, oral or written, shall be deemed superseded and merged in this contract. Any typographical, clerical, or other errors or omissions in any sales literature, catalogues, quotations, price lists, offers, invoices, manuals, or any other document issued by RigidIron Fitness shall be corrected without any liability to RigidIron Fitness. Agents and salespersons of RigidIron Fitness have no authority to make any representations not included herein. RigidIron Fitness hereby rejects any different or additional terms previously or hereafter proposed by the Buyer, none of which shall be effective unless embodied in writing signed by an authorized employee of RigidIron Fitness. Any preprinted terms on Buyer’s purchase order shall be given no force or effect and no terms of a purchase order that conflict with this Agreement shall be binding on RigidIron Fitness.

PRICE

The goods and other items or services covered by these terms and conditions shall be sold and invoiced at RigidIron Fitness's prices and charges in effect at the time of each shipment of goods.

PAYMENT TERMS

Terms of payment are within RigidIron Fitness's sole discretion, and unless otherwise agreed to by RigidIron Fitness, payment must be received by RigidIron Fitness prior to shipment of an order.  

TRANSPORTATION AND INSURANCE

We make use of The Courier Guy for all shipments. Title to each shipment of the goods sold hereunder and risk of loss thereon shall pass to the Buyer when RigidIron Fitness or its agent delivers such shipment to a common carrier or licensed trucker consigned to the Buyer, or his agent, but such shipment shall remain subject to RigidIron Fitness's rights of stoppage in transit and of reclamation. No goods shipped are shipped with insurance, however, should the buyer wish to apply for insurance, such arrangements can be made prior to shipment.  

WARRANTY COVERAGE

The RigidIron Fitness products purchased are warranted from the initial date of purchase to be free of defects in material and workmanship for the periods as referenced on the RigidIron Fitness Website (www.rigidiron.com). As a matter of general policy, all equipment carries a 1-year carry-in warranty.

  • The RigidIron Fitness Obligation Under Warranty

The RigidIron Fitness’ sole obligation under this warranty is limited to repair or replacement of products or parts at The RigidIron Fitness’ discretion during the warranty period. RigidIron Fitness makes every effort to respond to warranty claims within a reasonable period of time after it has been notified. The RigidIron Fitness does not assume responsibility for delays in replacement or repair of products or parts. 

Products and parts repaired or replaced by The RigidIron Fitness under the warranty shall be warranted for the balance of the original warranty period. This warranty gives end users specific legal rights, and particular end users may also have other rights, which may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. 

The warranty applies only to the original owner and does not extend to any product that has been subject to misuse, neglect, accidental damage, unauthorized repair, or tampering. 

If RigidIron Fitness determines that a product has defects in material or workmanship, RigidIron Fitness shall, at its sole option, repair or replace the product without additional charge for parts and labour, or give a credit for the defective products duly returned to RigidIron Fitness. 

To perform repairs, RigidIron Fitness may use new or reconditioned parts, components, subassemblies or products that have been tested as meeting applicable specifications for equivalent new material and products. Buyer will allow RigidIron Fitness to scrap all parts removed from the repaired product. 

Buyer is responsible for shipment of the product to The RigidIron Fitness and assumes all costs and risks associated with this transportation. Return shipment to Buyer will be at The RigidIron Fitness’ expense. Buyer shall be responsible for return shipment charges for product(s) returned where The RigidIron Fitness determines that there is no defect or where The RigidIron Fitness determines that the product is not eligible for warranty repair or replacement.

  • Disclaimer of All Other Warranties

No other warranties, expressed or implied, are given. The RigidIron Fitness expressly disclaims all other warranties, including and without limitation, the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to particular end users. The remedy set forth in this statement is the buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy for warranty claims and is expressly in lieu of all other remedies that may be available to the buyer at law or in equity.

  • Limitations

RIGIDIRON FITNESS'S WARRANTY, AS DESCRIBED HEREIN, IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ORAL OR WRITTEN, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NONINFRINGEMENT. RIGIDIRON FITNESS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES SUSTAINED BY BUYER ARISING FROM DELAYS IN THE REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR OF PRODUCTS UNDER THE ABOVE. THE REMEDY SET FORTH IN THIS WARRANTY STATEMENT IS THE BUYER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR WARRANTY CLAIMS. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL RIGIDIRON FITNESS BE LIABLE TO BUYER OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, DIMINUTION OF GOOD WILL, OR ANY INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL INDIRECT, SPECIAL OR CONTINGENT DAMAGES REGARDLESS OF WHETHER RIGIDIRON FITNESS HAD ADVANCE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. RIGIDIRON FITNESS'S LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES ON ACCOUNT OF A CLAIMED DEFECT IN ANY PRODUCT DELIVERED BY RIGIDIRON FITNESS SHALL IN NO EVENT EXCEED THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE PRODUCT ON WHICH THE CLAIM IS BASED. RIGIDIRON FITNESS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES RELATING TO ANY INSTRUMENT, EQUIPMENT, OR APPARATUS WITH WHICH THE PRODUCT SOLD UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS USED.
