- When on-site repair is not possible, refurbished dispensers may be provided as replacements, incurring associated costs.
- If the water dispenser fails to meet the customer’s reasonable performance expectations within the warranty period, the company will provide compensation based on the remaining duration of the warranty. The company will determine the nature and extent of compensation and may include repair, replacement, or other suitable forms of compensation, as deemed appropriate.
