(b) A failure to (i) register purchase of the Goods, and/or (ii) evidence purchase of the Goods from Sureweld or an approved Sureweld reseller by way of a valid invoice/receipt will mean this warranty will not apply.

(v) loading/unloading, placement or securing of equipment on the Goods not in accordance with legal requirements, or other requirements as advised by Sureweld or the manufacturer of the equipment;
(c) the Goods being used in an abnormal manner; for example if the Goods are misused, exposed to extreme weather conditions, not maintained properly or used after partial failure;
(d) the Goods being cut, welded, drilled or otherwise modified in any way without Sureweld prior written approval;
(e) exposure of the Goods to water damage, rust corrosion or fire; or
(f) wilful, negligent and/or reckless acts or omissions of the Customer or a third party.
