a description of the claimed Defect and the circumstances pertaining thereto.

 
1.5
Warranty Claim Procedure
 
 
In order to enable a Warranty Claim to be adequately processed, each claim shall be addressed as follows:
 
a.  
Buyer shall [***] send a written warranty claim notice (the “Warranty Notice”) by facsimile or e-mail to Bombardier's warranty department within [***] days following the date that any Defect giving rise to a warranty claim becomes apparent to Buyer;
 
 
b.  
Buyer shall consult the Supplier Information Manual available on-line via RACS website (www.racs.bombardier.com) for the location to which the Bombardier Part shall be returned;
 
 
c.  
If requested by Bombardier, Buyer shall return the defective part, as directed by Bombardier, within a period of fifteen (15) Days following Bombardier’s request for the return of such part; and
 
d.  
[***].



1.6
Labour Reimbursement

 
For correction of Defects Bombardier shall establish a reasonable estimate for the labour hours required for the repair, replacement or rework of the defective Bombardier Part and, if the repair, replacement or rework is performed by Buyer, Bombardier shall reimburse Buyer for Bombardier estimated hours or for Buyer’s actual labour hours, whichever is less, for the repair, replacement or rework of the defective Bombardier Part excluding any work necessary to gain access to and to re-install said Bombardier Part.  Such reimbursement shall be based upon Buyer’s direct labour rate per man-hour plus burden rate of fifty percent (50%), subject to annual review and adjustment of such labour rate as mutually agreed; provided, however, that this amount shall not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the Bombardier published selling labour rate.

1.7
Approval, Audit, Transportation and Waiver

 
All warranty claims shall be subject to audit and approval by Bombardier. Bombardier will use reasonable efforts to advise in writing the disposition of Buyer’s warranty claim within thirty (30) days following the receipt of the claim and (if requested) return of the defective Bombardier Part to Bombardier’s designated facility or that Buyer hold such defective Bombardier Parts while Bombardier completes its investigation regarding such Bombardier Part, [***]   Bombardier shall notify Buyer of Bombardier’s disposition of each claim.

 
Buyer shall pay all costs of transportation of the defective part from Buyer to Bombardier, [***]  all costs of transportation of the repaired, corrected or replacement parts back to Buyer.

1.8
Limitations; Timely Filing

1.8.1
Bombardier shall be relieved of and shall have no obligation or liability under this warranty if:

 
a)
[***]  the Aircraft was operated with products or parts not specifically approved by Bombardier, [***]

 
b)
[***]  the Aircraft was not operated or maintained in accordance with the Technical Data listed in Attachment A of Annex A-1 and the manufacturer’s documentation furnished to Buyer (including Service Bulletins and airworthiness directives) [***]

 
c)
[***]  the Aircraft was not operated under normal airline use [***]

d)  
[***]

18.2
[***]  
1.8.3
The warranty does not apply to Buyer Furnished Equipment.

1.9
Normal Usage

 
Normal wear and tear and the need for regular maintenance and overhaul shall not constitute a Defect or failure under this warranty.

1.10
Overhaul of Warranty Parts

 
Bombardier’s liability for a Bombardier Part which has a Defect and is overhauled by Buyer within the Warranty Period shall be limited only to that portion of the labour and material replacement related to the Defect.

1.11
No Fault Found

 
In the event that a Bombardier Part returned under a warranty claim is subsequently established to be serviceable then Bombardier shall be entitled to charge and recover from Buyer any reasonable costs incurred by Bombardier in connection with such warranty claim. Providing, however, in the event that repetitive in-service failure occurs on the particular Bombardier Part which is subsequently identified by Bombardier on a repeated basis to be “no fault found”, then Bombardier and Buyer shall discuss and mutually agree a course of further action to help identify the problem.  In the event the fault is ultimately confirmed to be a legitimate warranty claim then the above mentioned costs incurred by Bombardier and charged to Buyer shall be waived or, if already paid, refunded to Buyer.

1.12
[***]

 
ARTICLE 2 - VENDOR WARRANTIES

2.1
Warranties from Vendors

 
The provisions of this Annex B-1 apply to Bombardier Parts only.

2.2
Vendor Warranty Backstop

 
For those Vendor Parts installed on the Aircraft at the Delivery Date or subsequently purchased through Bombardier, excluding the Power Plant or the Power Plant Parts, in the event the parties agree that a vendor is in default in the performance of any material obligation under any applicable warranty obtained by Bombardier from such vendor pursuant to Annex B-1 Article 2.1 above, the warranties and all other terms and conditions of Annex B-1 Article 1 shall become applicable as if the Vendor Parts had been a Bombardier Part, except that the warranty period shall be the Warranty Period as set forth herein or by the vendor’s warranty, whichever is shorter and all transportation costs associated with the Vendor Parts shall be borne by Buyer.

2.3
Bombardier’s Interface Commitment

 
In the event of a dispute in the application of a Vendor Part warranty, at Buyer’s request addressed to Bombardier’s warranty administrator, Bombardier shall, without charge, conduct an investigation and analysis of any such dispute resulting from a technical interface problem to determine, if possible, the cause of the interface problem and then recommend feasible corrective action.  Buyer shall furnish to Bombardier all data and information in Buyer’s possession relevant to the interface problem and shall cooperate with Bombardier in the conduct of its investigation and such tests as may be required.  Bombardier, at the conclusion of its investigation, shall advise Buyer in writing of Bombardier’s opinion as to the cause of the problem and Bombardier’s recommended corrective action.
