Conditions of Sale & Return Policy

Because of American Orleans commitment to constant product improvement, American Orleans reserves the right to change terms and conditions, prices, designs, or discontinue products without notice. American Orleans products are designed and manufactured for single use and once removed from the patient’s mouth, must be disposed of properly. American Orleans expressly disclaims any liability for the spread of disease or personal injury caused by reuse.

Warranty & Liability Limitation

American Orleans warrants that its products are free from defects in materials and manufacture for up to one (1) year after delivery. Some instruments feature longer warranties, and these are noted below. Buyer’s sole remedies with respect to any claim arising out of any defect in any goods or services shall be limited exclusively to the right of repair or replacement of such goods (at American Orleans option) or repayment of the purchase price. In no event shall American Orleans be liable for any consequential or incidental damages including lost profits incurred by buyer with respect to any goods or services furnished by American Orleans.

Instrument warranties vary by product line (detail below). Cutting instruments should be reconditioned every 6-9 months; misuse, abuse, or failure to properly maintain or care for the instrument will void the warranty. Warranties do not cover routine maintenance, sharpening, or reconditioning.
