Forecasted lead times will be modified accordingly based on the date of receipt of down payment as well as the date of receipt of bulk test samples. Where shipment is deferred at the Purchaser’s request beyond the date of completion, the order will be subject to invoicing, payment, and storage charges from the date of completion.

Installation & Training

Unless otherwise specifically provided, the Purchaser has full responsibility for the installation and the initial starting up of the equipment and Seller shall not be responsible for any damages to the equipment or any consequential damages by reason thereof. Installation and training by SHINEBEN can be provided at additional cost and is strongly recommended for successful installation. Onsite training is available at the service and installation rates indicated in our Service Rate Sheet. All travel and out of pocket expenses including but not limited to auto, parking, airfare, meals etc. shall be billed at cost only.

In the event that training and installation is scheduled or is part of this quotation, it is the Purchaser’s responsibility to uncrate and rig into place all machinery as outlined on the approved plot plan. The purchaser must also provide all air and electrical services to the equipment as outlined in the installation plot plan prior to the arrival of SHINEBEN’s technician. It is the purchaser’s responsibility to identify and define physical access to the installation area i.e. door openings, etc. It is the purchaser’s responsibility to provide personnel capable of being trained in machine operation and able to assist with installation if being provided by SHINEBEN. Any delays and additional costs caused by the purchaser’s failure to provide the above will be billed in accordance with the rates above.

Third Party Equipment

Unless specifically supplied in this quotation, SHINE BEN is not responsible for installation, performance, or warranty issues of third party equipment. All additional costs and delays caused by third party equipment is the responsibility of the purchaser.

Copies of these vendors’ terms and conditions are available for review.

Bulk Product Supply

Unless specifically supplied by Inline in this quotation, the purchaser is responsible for product feed and supply system(s) to work in conjunction with all filling equipment. The purchaser is responsible for supplying any filler reservoir with product at a rate greater than or equal to 125% of the filler’s output. Unless specifically supplied in this quotation, the purchaser is responsible for level control of the product reservoir in order to guarantee filling accuracy.

Machinery Performance Guarantee

SHINE BEN tests and guarantees all equipment to the performance parameters indicated in the quotation Scope of Project. SHINE BEN will only guarantee performance for those products, closures and containers that have been specifically tested by our applications engineers. If no specific product performance data is indicated or if the purchaser fails to provide specific performance requirements, the purchaser agrees to waive any guarantee of fitness of the machinery for any particular application. The purchaser must provide Material Safety Data Sheets for any potentially hazardous material submitted for testing. SHINE BEN is not responsible for failure to test any potentially hazardous material with no accompanying Material Safety Data Sheet.

In order to provide a specific Scope of Project, the purchaser must provide specific product, container, cap, and/or label samples for evaluation by SHINEBEN. SHINE BEN is not responsible for design misapplication of the equipment due to the failure of the Purchaser to provide adequate samples. In the case of filling machinery purchased for the purpose of filling to a specific level in the container, the purchaser must define the cosmetic fill height of the liquid in each container in terms of distance from the top of the container. Any modifications to the machinery that are required in the field due to the failure to provide correct samples and information above shall be at the expense of the Purchaser.

SHINE BEN is not responsible for performance failures due to manufacturing variances of the purchaser’s cap and containers. The customer is responsible for using caps and containers that are substantially the same as the production samples tested by SHINE BEN as described above.

SHINE BEN reserves the right to change machine designs, components and specifications at its sole discretion in order to meet the performance objectives of a project.

Modifications

The machinery and specifications expressly offered in this proposal comprise the entirety of what is offered for sale. Any subsequent additions or modifications to this proposal by the customer must be expressly noted on the invoice if they are to be included in the proposal. If the modification is not included in the sale documentation or invoice, it is not a part of the project and SHINEBEN shall bear no responsibility for its omission in the construction of any machinery.

Adequate Production Test Samples

Sufficient quantities of production samples for each product container and/or cap must be supplied by the purchaser so that testing may be accomplished. Quality of the test samples must represent the quality of the bulk supply to be used in actual production. Failure of the customer to provide adequate test samples prior to shipment will void any performance guarantees as outlined above. All closures and containers must have suitable form, fit, and function for the application. i.e. the closures must be suitable for adequate sealing of the containers. SHINE BEN will not be responsible for performance problems associated with closures or containers that are not suitable for automatic packaging equipment. Failure to provide adequate test samples prior to scheduled testing may also cause
production delays. Customer is responsible for all additional costs or delivery delays that are a result of the failure to provide timely and adequate test samples. Bulk test samples are due within two weeks of receipt of down payment in order to maintain the production schedule and any promised delivery dates.

Safety Requirements

Purchase of optional machine guarding and interlocked enclosures is strongly recommended. If the purchaser declines to purchase these options, the purchaser agrees to indemnify SHINEBEN from all liabilities and suits that may arise from the Purchaser’s use of this equipment.
