Quality Betafence guarantee 
Betafence Belgium NV and its subsidiaries (hereafter “Betafence”) guarantee hereby its Betafence branded fencing products for a period of 10 years starting from the date of invoice. This guarantee covers production defects as well as its state of preservation. Upon validation of the complaint by Betafence, Betafence engages either to repair the product or to replace the defective product – materials only. The guarantee excludes coverage of possible direct and indirect costs. The guarantee conditions apply differently in the function of the invoiced value of the fencing materials:
- For invoiced value less than 10.000 €: full repair or replacement of material
- For invoiced value between 10.000 € and 250.000 €: full repair or replacement of the material at a degressive rate:
Year 1 and 2: replaced at 100%
Year 3 and 4: replaced at 90%
Year 5 and 6: replaced at 80%
Year 7 and 8: replaced at 60%
Year 9 and 10: replaced at 50%
- For an invoiced value higher than 250.000 €, no automatic product guarantee will be applied. In case of dispute, an independent inspection authority of repute may be engaged to establish the true nature of the claim.

Products in a highly corrosive environment:
The same guarantee is applied to a shortlist of “EXTREME” products when installed close to the sea. These specific products are mentioned separately on the list. The extended guarantee is valid when fencing products are not in direct contact with saltwater or installed just above saltwater.

Customers will receive a project-specific Guarantee certificate.
