2 Warranty Definitions

2.1 What is Warranty

LIUGONG’s warranty is a commitment made by LIUGONG to repair free of charge for quality problems arising from
defects in materials or manufacturing processes within the specified period of time and use of the product. The product
warranty registry must be signed between the authorized distributor representative and the customer representative at the
time of delivery, specifies binding commitments and limits relating to the product.
The purpose of the warranty is to restore the product to its correct operating conditions after a failure, thereby
re-establishing its intended value, which involves repair or, if necessary, the option of replacing defective parts. Incidental
damages and consequential loss are not covered by warranty.

Note:

● A defective part is the LIUGONG part that caused the failure.

● Incidental damage is best described as any damage to property resulting from the failure.

● Consequential loss is best described as other loss, notably loss of profit or use, as a consequence of the failure.

Example:

A LIUGONG bucket tooth fell into a crusher as a result of a defective tooth pin. The warranty will provide for
replacement of the pin and the resultant damaged bucket tooth. The warranty will not cover the damage to the crusher
which is incidental damage, or the loss of profit due to downtime which is on sequential damage.

2.2 Can Warranty be voided?

The manufacturer regional representative and authorized service provider shall not cancel the warranty provided to the
customer or render it fail without any reason. However, the manufacturer and authorized service provider may not be liable
for any failure caused by misuse or unauthorized modification or any other reason beyond the scope of the warranty.

3 Warranty Management Procedures


9 / 70
3.1 Warranty Management Principle

Products sold by LIUGONG shall be accompanied by a standard warranty (coverage provided) that defines the liability
of LIUGONG and its customers in the event of failure due to defects in materials or technology of LIUGONG products
(failure within the scope of warranty).
In addition to this standard warranty, LIUGONG also sells service campaign to extend the warranty period, known as
the “extended warranty service campaign” (for example, purchasing an extended warranty service campaign). These service
campaign also define the liability of LIUGONG and its customers in the event of failure due to defects in materials or
technology of LIUGONG products (failure within the scope of warranty) .

3.1.1 Warranty Principles

The authorized service dealer appointed by LIUGONG is the first responsibility to provide the warranty service to the
customer. During the warranty period, correct maintenance shall be carried out in accordance with the requirements of
LIUGONG. Under normal conditions, if defects occur in quality or assembly of the machine and its parts, LIUGONG or its
authorized service dealer shall be responsible for free repair or replacement of the defective parts which are identified as
non-human damage by LIUGONG’s designated personnel.
.
Remark: In case of product failure in warranty , the customer shall contact the LIUGONG authorized service dealer for
repairs. If the repair cannot be completed within the warranty period for special reasons , the authorized service dealer must
first create a repair order. Warranty expiration is based on the service requested time and product meter reading

3.1.2 Warranty Inheritance and Personalization

√ Warranty inheritance: Within the same region, the warranty can be transferred to another owners unless specified
agreement; For the subsequent owners of the cross-region, the warranty cann’t be inherited unless
prior written consent shall be obtained from LiuGong.

√ Warranty Personalization: Unless stipulated by local laws or industry standards, the regional standard warranty
in principle follows the warranty policy of the headquarters. If it is necessary to revise the standard warranty
policy and manual issued by the headquarters due to local laws or industry regulations, each region shall revise
the regional standard warranty policy in accordance with local laws and industry regulations, and submit the
revised regional warranty policy and relevant regulations and policies to the headquarters for review and filing,
and implement it after approval by the headquarters.

3.2 Responsibility of Administering Warranty

The warranty statements define the company’s confidence in the quality of its product and the company’s obligation to
participate with the servicing dealer in the cost of repairs resulting from defective parts or factory workmanship.

Furthermore, it is essential that customers at any time should be aware that the warranty decision is made by the
service dealer; there is no direct communication between LIUGONG and the customer. LIUGONG service dealer assume
this responsibility and should recognize that they are not acting as “agents” in the claims. When resolving a claim, the
service dealer is representing the service dealer himself, but is not conveying LIUGONG’s instructions. For LIUGONG and
LIUGONG service dealer, warranty is not an opportunity to make a profit.
LIUGONG only guarantees the product, all parties, namely, LIUGONG, service dealer and customers understand and
bear the warranty responsibility. The sales of LIUGONG products involve manufacturers, service dealer and customers.
Each party assumes a specific liability that will affect the warranty. It is very important for service dealer to understand
these responsibilities in order to determine which party or parties shall be responsible for the repair cost and its amount.

5.8 Campaign Service


30 / 70
To eliminate product safety problems or improve product reliability, LIUGONG can initiate campaign service bulletin
of products. LIUGONG may notify the service dealer of the campaign plan by means of Service bulletin or Special
Authorization. The LIUGONG service dealer is responsible for matters involving service bulletin in its area and submit
a warranty claim through campaign service remind in DMS system.

Instructions are provided with each Product campaign service bulletin indicating which machines are included, work to
be done, parts and material requirements, expenses which may be claimed, termination date and other pertinent details.
Campaigns should be performed within the limitations set on the Service Alert letter (i.e., dates and labor limitations).
And some related cost who should afford also performed according to the service bulletin. The program authorizes
allowances which may be less and can be more than the dealership's cost. Since it is not LIUGONG intention to pay all
expenses on each job, excess costs will not be accepted without adequate explanation. Excess costs due to local
conditions beyond the control of LIUGONG should generally be for the dealership's or customers’ account. The service
dealer may determine that it is necessary to provide a modification outside of any official product update. If prior
LIUGONG approval had been obtained, it should be substantiated by the service dealer attaching a copy of the
authorization letter or memo to the claim.

When a problem is encountered according to the implementation of the service bulletin, service dealer need to contact
LIUGONG for further guidance. Campaign service actions should be completed promptly in order to achieve these
objectives of improvement and promotion of product quality. The repair plan has the highest priority and needs to be
completed in a timely and comprehensive manner. Service dealer should do their best to win the cooperation of
customers. If the customer refuses to allow such improvement, the dealer’s Service Department shall obtain a written
disclaimer and submit to LIUGONG Subsidiary.

Since implementing the changes in accordance with the service bulletin can avoid the quality problems mentioned in the
bulletin from appearing during the warranty period. Therefore,failure to perform the campaign in a timely manner
contributed to the failure will not be honored if the failure occurred after the announced completion date. Additionally,
no Goodwill Policy Adjustment will be considered under such circumstances. LIUGONG reserves the right to deny a
warranty adjustment on any machine involved in a campaign whereby the campaign has not been performed and that
could have been performed at the time of the service repair.

5.9 Major Accident Report

5.10 Goodwill Warranty

5.10.1 What is Goodwill Warranty?

LIUGONG and LIUGONG dealers are committed to deliver quality products and services as described in the warranty
administration manual. Even the warranty has expired, the seller and the servicing dealer still has the obligation to help the
customer if a problem arises. This is to ensure that fair value and good aftersales service is received by their customer.
Customer may requests for labor, parts and other services to be provided free of charge in addition to those services
specifically described in the warranty guideline. However, they must be considered as “exceptions” and resolved on the
basis of good business judgment appropriate for the particular market involved. These requests must be considered as
outside of any warranty agreement and handled on a goodwill basis. Consideration given for similar problems may well be
appropriate for one market situation but not for another and it is judge case by case.

In managing customer expectations, it is critical to explain the difference between warranty and goodwill settlements and to
ensure that the customer understands that the goodwill settlement is being offered in the interest of sustaining good business
relationship. Failure of the dealer to communicate this understanding will ultimately result in the customer dissatisfaction
and confusion on these services with warranty and expecting repeat free of charges services. Goodwill settlement should be
a onetime application and not set a precedent to an ongoing situation.

Goodwill is where LIUGONG, the service dealer and the customer participate in repair costs, which are not covered by
LIUGONG legal warranty statements within standard or extended warranty coverage. The amount of participation by each
party is primarily based on the degree of responsibility for the failure and value received by the customer from the product
to that point. Therefore, goodwill and warranty is entirely different. Warranty is clearly defined and it is not negotiable.
Goodwill is a cost of doing business and it is negotiable. All service personnel and customers should clearly understand the
difference. Unlike warranty, goodwill is not a legal obligation and is administered on a case-by-case basis to ensure that the
customer receives the intended value built into LIUGONG products.

The Goodwill is:

• The purpose of the Goodwill is to ensure that customers enjoy the fair value of their product investments.

• It is up to the distributor to decide whether to offer it or not, supported by LIUGONG.

• The intention is to maintain customer satisfaction and promote future business.

Goodwill is not:

• Extended Warranty or Extended Service Plan.

32 / 70
• Aimed at offseting normal repair cost.

• Used for minor malfunctions.

• Automatically used for specific problems or customers.

• A legal obligation

Goodwill decision must be determined by Service Dealer 1st and LIUGONG 2nd. Customer should perceive the service
dealer decision which means that customer must see the service dealer as the one offering the policy settlement regardless of
what settlement service dealer has with LIUGONG.

Typically, the service dealer advises the customer of its decision and files a goodwill claim requesting LIUGONG’s
participation after repair completion. On some rare occasions, the service dealer may decide it is necessary to consult
LIUGONG prior to settlement with the customer. However, the final settlement with the customer is the service dealer’s
decision.

5.10.2 Requesting Goodwill Participation from LIUGONG

After settlement with the customer, the service dealer can request LIUGONG participation by submitting a goodwill claim
form, which should include a discussion of the goodwill consideration factors, as well as the extent of customer
participation LIUGONG will evaluate on all necessary information and at its discreet then accept the goodwill participation
on a percentage level for the repair cost.

The service dealer should refer to Warranty Goodwill Documentation for guidance and/or necessary procedures with
LIUGONG or Regional Manager to facilitate the processing of any goodwill request to LIUGONG.

5.11 Physical Delivery of Warranty Parts

5.11.1 In what cases should physical delivery be made?

7.9 LIUGONG Audit Scoring System

The LIUGONG Audit Scoring System is used to evaluate the result of a warranty audit. This system is a 10 points
warranty index scale with 10 as the best possible rating. The system covers a general checklist of items that need to be
checked. These areas of information correspond with the repair documentation required for a warranty claim. The system
template and the checklist can be found in the Annex Section.

7.9.1 How the Scoring System Works

The scoring system comprises the following worksheet and reports:


a) Initial Input Worksheet
 Claims audited are registered in this worksheet and reviewed against the 19 audit items
 If there are errors identified on the above listed areas, an “N” is entered in the appropriate box when there is
minor error associated with the error – the error will not result in debit adjustment or credit reversal.
 A “1” is entered for error identified as major effect error that results in a possible debit adjustment or credit
reversal.
 Please refer to 8.3 warranty audit rules for judgment rules
b) Report A
 The data from the initial input worksheet is grouped and transferred to this report as summary.
c) Report B
 Dependent on the severity of errors, these 19 audit items are grouped into 6 broad categories and each
category has a weighting factor attached to it.
 The total amount of errors listed for a category, multiplied by the category weighting factor gives a category
score.
 The sum of all category scores gives a “warranty evaluation score”. Dividing the warranty evaluation score
by the number of claims audited and subtracting the result by 10 gives the warranty index (10 point scale).
d) Report C
For each if the errors found that has major effect, the amount of debit is entered under this report, along with a
comment on what was found wrong.

44 / 70
7.9.2 Score Interpretation

A rating of 9 or higher indicates dealer’s warranty operation is in excellent level and a rating of below 6.0 indicates that
the audited dealer needs close follow-up and advice to improve its warranty operation and possible of re-audit.

Annex1: Engine Warranty Policy

1. General Warranty Policy for Engines

LiuGong extends the warranty policy of the engine manufacturer for the engine which is installed on LiuGong
products. The standard machine warranty does not automatically apply to engines installed as original equipment in

engine each manufacturer; dealers should contact engine authorized service provider on the local market to determine the
scope of warranty agreement, the terms and claim procedure.

THIS MUST BE DONE PRIOR TO START OF ANY REPAIRS – failure to inform engine service supplier or
LIUGONG before work begins may result in a partial or complete voiding of warranty and any obligation of LIUGONG to
cover warranty work done.
