Repair & Maintenance Requirements

The Customer must make provisions for all handpieces set aside for repair or service to have been adequately sterilized prior to DDS handling. Handpieces must be available upon pick up either by DDS in person or by our third-party courier company to facilitate the transfer of handpieces from your location to DDS premises for assessment.

Following the return of repaired or serviced handpieces, the customer agrees to ensure its own Dental nursing follow the correct protocols for handpiece maintenance as outlined by either the handpiece Manufacturer’s instructions or those provided by DDS  within the 10 Steps to handpiece maintenance guide issued upon first repairs with DDS. Should this ongoing maintenance be found not have been carried out at all or to below a minimal level for operation then DDS reserves the right to charge for additional servicing within any warranty periods still active.

The Customer must inform their staff members who sign for returned parcels that they are responsible for the item once the courier has released the goods. No losses will be covered by DDS or our designated third-party courier under these circumstances.

Hub Installation Requirement

The Customer agrees to provide computer access with either Firefox or Google Chrome internet browser service to allow the Handpiece Hub to be available. Relevant Staff with authorization should be aware of which computer it has been installed on to and be aware of the password that will have been reset upon initial access to the Hub.

 

Unrepaired/Unrepairable Handpieces

Where possible DDS will offer suitable replacement options to any unrepairable/uneconomical to repair handpieces. For handpieces that have been either declined for repair or are unrepairable we will try to reassemble as best as we can for their return, but there may be instances where parts will be returned separately as they are broken or cannot be suitably reassembled.

DDS Parts and Labour Warranty

Our business is to know you and what your practice requires. We focus on providing you with the personalised service you deserve. However, DDS accepts no responsibility for any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred as a result of any error, omission or misrepresentation in this website or through its business practice.

This warranty does NOT include that of any damage incurred or from dropping, tampering, poor maintenance, wrongful use, human error or mis-handling the handpieces. Each handpiece repair or item left in our care is regarded upon as a direct contract of DDS repair services with each individual Dentist or Dental Practice. This agreement in all respects shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of the State of New South Wales, Australia, to the exclusion of any other applicable body of governing law, without regard to conflicts of laws principles.

DDS take photos of each individual handpiece when presented for its next service or repair and openly display the image(s) on our Handpiece Hub software along with technical notes regarding the internal and external condition of the handpieces.

This information may be used as evidence to demonstrate or prove failure of equipment. The uploaded photo at the point of lodging the repair job will also confirm what parts were also sent in with the handpiece such as present/missing irrigation clips, nose attachments, identification rings or tape etc.

DDS use only quality premium parts & ceramic bearings to OEM standards. Products supplied by DDS are manufactured all over the world for replacement of the original manufactured parts. Unless stated as genuine, no implication is made that any of these products are original factory products or that any of these companies endorse any of our products.

Unless individually noted, all replacement parts are warranted for 6 months from the date of the return of the handpiece as stated on the invoice. All water blockage repairs are warranted for 12 months. No other written or implied warranty exists, including warranty of merchantability or warranty fitness.

If DDS happens to be unable to repair any handpiece ourselves then we may attempt to sub-contract DDS repair services to other sources, alternatively we will inform the client that we are unable to help repair the item at this stage.

All product and service details, terms, conditions and other information are subject to change at any time without notice.

While offering a great service we make no claim that the manufacturers mentioned within our website endorse or support our services. All logos are for the promotion of each company's products and DDS makes no claim to represent each company.
