Shafts are custom machined and therefore not returnable, and are not covered by our Expediting Services Guarantee. EXPEDITED SHAFT ORDERS We confirm available expediting services for shafts at the time of order based on our workload and the amount of work required. If the shaft is not ready to ship on time, the expediting fee is cancelled. An expediting charge will be added to the order for each expedited shaft up to 2.5 square inches, in addition to freight.

These slight variations are cosmetic in nature and do not impact belt performance. SUBSTANTIAL PERFORMANCE Intralox provides the very best products and services available in the conveyor belt industry. The Intralox Expediting Services Guarantee is our customers assurance that Intralox can and does consistently deliver. Our performance goal in all customer services is Zero Defects. Practicality, however, dictates that our Expediting Services Guarantee for expedited products be one of substantial performance. Intralox defines substantial performance as shipping an order that is complete enough (i.e., lacking no essentials) to enable our customer to reach operational status. Any action necessary to correct the original order will be made immediately at Intralox s expense and the expediting service fee for the entire order will be waived. The following specific exclusions also apply to the Intralox Expediting Services Guarantee: Nonperformance due to extraordinary circumstances beyond Intralox s reasonable control. CARRIERS While Intralox does commit to ship as agreed, we cannot commit to a specific arrival date because we have no control over carrier availability or performance.
