Terms & Conditions

Magnattack® Global are the manufacturers and suppliers of very specialized magnetic and associated equipment. We are not able to enter into contracts based exclusively on some customer’s terms and conditions of purchase (which terms and conditions of purchase may be quite acceptable to other suppliers of conventional goods and services).

Whilst Magnattack® Global aims to secure the best possible results for its valued customers, 100% separation efficiency cannot be achieved or guaranteed.

This is because the effectiveness of magnets can vary due to factors beyond our control. These factors may include partial demagnetization over time, variations in flow or variations of additives and moisture contents in materials processing. Other variables can be space restrictions, budget limitations and the degree of magnetic susceptibility of the magnetic contamination. These factors affect the degree in which a protective installation can be ideal and for how long the ongoing degree of separation efficiency is maintained.

In consideration of our accepting your purchase order, you agree to accept our terms and conditions in this Special Note and the Terms & Conditions set out below (and that those terms and conditions will prevail over the terms and conditions attached to your purchase order to the extent of any inconsistency).

On receipt of the acknowledgment and agreement or, if we have not heard to the contrary from you within 7 days of your receiving this Special Note, you will be deemed to have provided this acknowledgment and agreement. Only then will we commence processing your order and the delivery date will be appropriately adjusted.
