Liability and Indemnification

SELLER’S LIABILITY TO CUSTOMER ON ANY CLAIM OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, WITH RESPECT TO THE PRODUCT, SHALL IN NO CASE EXCEED THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE PRODUCT OR ANY PART THEREOF WHICH GIVES RISE TO THE CLAIM. IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER BE LIABLE TO CUSTOMER FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THESE DAMAGES AND NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF THE ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY, ARISING OUT OF, OR AS A RESULT OF, THE SALE, DELIVERY, NON-DELIVERY, SERVICING, USE OR LOSS OF THE PRODUCT OR ANY PART THEREOF, OR FOR ANY CHARGES OR EXPENSES OF ANY NATURE INCURRED RELATED THERETO.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, CUSTOMER SHALL INDEMNIFY, DEFEND, AND HOLD HARMLESS SELLER AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES AND AGENTS, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE EMPLOYEES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS (COLLECTIVELY, “INDEMNITIES”) FROM AND AGAINST ALL SUMS, COSTS, LIABILITIES, LOSSES, OBLIGATIONS, SUITS, ACTIONS, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, FINES, INTEREST AND OTHER EXPENSES (INCLUDING INVESTIGATION EXPENSES AND ATTORNEYS’ FEES) THAT AN INDEMNITEE MAY INCUR OR BE OBLIGATED TO PAY ARISING OUT OF, OR AS A RESULT OF, (I) CUSTOMER’S NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, (II) USE, OWNERSHIP, MODIFICATION, MAINTENANCE, TRANSFER, TRANSPORTATION, OR DISPOSAL OF THE PRODUCT; OR (III) CUSTOMER’S VIOLATION OR ALLEGED VIOLATION OF ANY FEDERAL, STATE, COUNTY OR LOCAL LAWS OR REGULATION, INCLUDING THE LAWS AND REGULATIONS GOVERNING PRODUCT SAFETY, LABELING, PACKAGING AND LABOR PRACTICES. CUSTOMER HEREBY WAIVES AND RELEASES SELLER FROM ALL RIGHTS OF CONTRIBUTION OR INDEMNITY TO WHICH IT MAY OTHERWISE BE ENTITLED.

If there is a need when indemnity arises, Customer agrees to the following process:

  1. Notification: Customer notifies Seller about the claim. Customer should provide Seller notice of the claim verbally, and the full claim in writing. This notification should be timely and within thirty (30) days of any triggering event. The written claim should include all evidence and documentation supporting the claim, including the details of the event, the extent of the loss, and expenses incurred.
  2. Review of Claim: Seller will have thirty (30) days to review the claim to determine whether the triggering event falls within the scope of indemnification as outlined in these Terms and Conditions.
  3. Negotiation: Seller and Customer may engage in negotiations to reach an agreement on the validity of the claim and the amount of indemnification. This may involve discussions on the nature of the loss, the responsibility of each party or other parties beyond Customer and Seller, and applicable indemnification limits.
  4. Resolution: Once an agreement is reached, Seller and Customer will formalize the resolution through a written agreement that may include the amount of indemnification, payment method, and other relevant terms. This agreement must be signed by both parties before any payment will be remitted.
  5. Payment: The party providing indemnity makes the payment to the party seeking indemnification. If payment is not provided within fifteen (15) days of the resolution being signed, the resolution is null and void.

Importance of Using Properly Working Handpieces

All repair facilities and offices must confirm that handpieces that are fully functional and in proper working condition before use on a patient. It is solely the handpiece user’s responsibility to confirm the handpiece is fully functional and in proper working condition before it is used on a patient. Seller takes no responsibility for the condition of handpieces once they leave our office in working order.

A handpiece user should:

  • Never have improper sterilization and/or cooling processes
  • Never run a handpiece at too low or too high air pressure
  • Never use a bur that is not fully inserted and locked (also called extending the bur)
  • Never use a handpiece that has a wobbling bur
  • Never use a handpiece that has a bur improperly locking or “walking out”
  • Never use a handpiece that is running too hot
  • Never use a handpiece that makes any strange or atypical noise
  • Never use a handpiece that shows these or any other warning signs of failure

It is solely the handpiece user’s responsibility to confirm the handpiece is fully functional and in proper working condition before it is used on a patient. Seller takes no responsibility for the condition of handpieces once they leave our office in working order.

All offices must confirm that handpieces are fully functional and in proper working condition before use on a patient. Precision Handpiece Repair LLC makes no representations of whether devices repaired with compatible non-OEM parts or OEM parts comply with international dental handpieces and accessories standards. It is solely the user’s responsibility to confirm that the handpiece is fully functional and in proper working condition before it is used on a patient. The seller takes no responsibility for the condition of the handpieces once they leave our office in working order.

Product Orders

Seller will do its best to ship all orders placed before 2 PM Central on the same day. Seller will ship orders placed after 2 PM Central on the following day unless Seller notified Customer otherwise. Seller may use USPS, FedEx, and/or UPS as the shipping method. Seller charges shipping costs based on the shipping class selected by Customer in the Purchase Order. Seller charges no further fees on shipping or handling.

Seller will notify Customer if an item is not in stock at the time of sale. If an item is out of stock, Customer can choose if he or she wants a refund, or to wait for the backordered item to come into stock. Seller will ship the backordered item when it becomes available at no extra shipping cost.

Repair Service Process

Seller will conduct all repairs to the best of their ability. If a repair cannot be completed, Customer will be notified and a replacement option will be provided, if available. Customer has no obligation to accept the replacement.

Repairs are processed in the order received. If Customer wishes to rush the repair and skip the queue, Customer can request a rush service for $25 per handpiece fee.

If Customer does not explicitly indicate an estimate is needed before repair, Seller will proceed with the repair as required.

Payment is required in full for all repairs before completed repairs will be shipped back to Customer.

Shipping and Delivery

For both parts order shipping and repair shipping, Seller does not take responsibility for late delivery due to delays from the shipping service. Seller commits to adhering to the above shipping cutoff times, but cannot take responsibility if the shipper is delayed due to nature/weather, branch closures, or acts of God. Delivery times below are an estimate only. In the event that a shipping service does not meet their promised delivery timeline in the case of overnight deliveries only, Seller will do their best to recoup delivery fees from the shipping provider. However, Seller will not refund shipping fees that cannot recouped from the shipping service due to reasons such as nature/weather, branch closures, or acts of God. If any shipping fees are recouped from the shipping provider, Seller will provide a store credit of the shipping cost to be used on a future order. Please note it can take a month or longer for the shipping provider to make a determination on if shipping costs will be refunded.

We are not responsible for and damaged, lost or stolen dental handpieces shipped to us or shipped back to the customer. We do not carry any type of insurance to cover damaged, lost or stolen dental handpieces shipped to us.

During peak delivery periods, generally from October 1 through December 31 each year, many shippers do not guarantee delivery times and will suspend their money back guarantees. During these times, Seller cannot offer any refund for shipping fees due to a shipping carrier’s service failure. Please see FedEx’s Website and UPS’s Website to see if the shipping providers are currently offering their money back guarantee or not. Seller can only work with Customer on a partial or full refund of shipping cost due to shipping carrier service failure if the money back guarantee is instated.

In the unlikely event that a package is entirely lost, please contact Seller directly and we will work with you to determine a solution.

 REPAIR SHIPPING

Repairs by default ship for $8 for either USPS Priority Mail or FedEx Ground service. At Customer’s request, repairs can be shipped back via FedEx 2nd Day for $15, or Next Day via FedEx or UPS for $35.

Returns and Replacements

Seller accepts items returned from parts orders within 14 days of delivery at no charge, except for items marked as non-returnable below. The item(s) must be unused as confirmed by Seller at time of receiving the item. Customer can return items between 14 and 30 days after delivery, but will pay a 10% restocking fee. Please contact Seller for return authorization and an RMA number before returning products. Products returned without an RMA will be delayed in processing.

Any orders returned for non-warranty issues will be issued a store credit only. Product must be in-hand by the Seller before a store credit will be issued.
