Hi guys
What are my garentee responsibilitys to my customers if my supplier has gone bust?
As a door and window company I give the usual 10 year garentee.
In this case a wood grain PVC door panel is cracking around the moldings but the company I got the panel from has gone bust so I cant get the replacement panel for free.
In this case as he is a good repeating customer Im going to bite the bullet and pay for a new panel myself but what if it was something really expensive like a conservatory where there was a problem with the products or manufacturing (discoloring etc).
What would you do if say your glass supplier went bust (they seem to be closing down all the time) then suddenly every unit you ever fitted broke down due to poor manufacturing? Would it be down to you to replace them all at your own cost leaving you with no option but to close your business?
