Im looking for help to write a CNC machine warranty, Im not sure where to start since Im new to the market. I sell Syil Machines in Argentina.

I want to limit my responsabilities to defective parts, so before shipping, the machine is cleaned, assembled & tested and its shown to the customer that it works properly, we also give the customer a brief course on Mach3 and machine operations.

I don't want to be responsible if the user crashes the milling head into the table or if a tool crashes into the lathe chuck.

What Im asking to the forum is a pointer to a ready made warranty from a small machines dealer, so I can roughly translate it to spanish and give it to a local lawyer to properly write the legalese.

Thanks a lot in advance :)

I think your best bet would be to hit up one of the add banners here and see what others are offering. I think it should all be posted online to read befor you buy.

been doing that, but found no links to the warranties.

here I found this on a random banner

What about the required conformation to safety and standards?
Are there any such requirements in Argentina?

The below would be a simplification of requirements in offering warrenty:
Quote:

* The 'Manufacturer's Replacement Warranty': This is a warranty that the original manufacturer of the product offers. It means that the manufacturer will replace the product within a certain time period if there are any manufacturing-related or other defects found after the purchase.
* The 'Manufacturer's Repair Warranty': Again, this is a Warranty that the original manufacturer of the product offers. It means that the manufacturer will repair the product within a certain time period if there are any manufacturing-related or other defects found after the purchase.
* The 'Seller's Replacement Warranty': The seller offers to replace the product within a certain time period if there are any manufacturing-related or other defects found after the purchase.
* The 'Seller's Repair Warranty': The seller offers to repair the product within a certain time period if there are any manufacturing-related or other defects found after the purchase.
Unquote:
But I still think your biggest concern would be any safety issue that was due to non conforming to current codes or standards.
This would be a concern if the machine was modified by you in any way after it left the manufacturer.
As a seller, you should only have to refer the buyer to the manufacturers warranty, void if the machine is modified by you though.

thanks for the prompt replies guys, I just drafted a warranty and its on the way to the lawyer for review and enhancements :)
