Payment for purchases is set at 30 days from the date of invoice. For new customers, occasional customers or customers who do not have an account in our records, we require payment in advance of the proforma and attach this payment with the order.

In those cases in which our supplier accepts the return, we will be obliged to charge a penalty of 20% of the amount of the product for storage costs. Returns must always be sent carriage paid to our central warehouse in Sant Cugat del Vallès (Barcelona) with the only exception of cases where the error is attributable to Teknokroma Analítica SA, in which case the goods may be sent carriage forward.
6. Guarantee
All instruments supplied by Teknokroma Analítica SA have a 1 year warranty period from the date of invoice covering parts and labor in our facilities. Transportation or travel expenses will be charged to the buyer.
7. Repairs out of warranty
After the guarantee period, our SAT (Technical Assistance Service) can intervene on site or repair in its workshops any instrument in our portfolio, by receiving an order number from the customer authorizing it. Any replaced part is guaranteed for 6 months (labour and travel excluded)
A quotation will be submitted to the customer, after inspection of the problem, and before the repair is carried out. In case of acceptance the inspection will be free of charge. In case of rejection of the estimate, a fixed amount will be invoiced to cover the costs of the inspection and/or travel if any.
The sending of an instrument for repair or calibration will require a previous authorization from the department that will give a SAT number that must be informed in the instrument's shipping box for its follow up.
