The Southeastern Promise (“SP”) is our unique support package which provides the purchaser of certain new machines with complimentary mileage and travel time costs for base warranty warrantable repairs within the Southeastern AOR territory. It also provides up to thirty (30) days of complimentary loaner unit (subject to machine availability) for customers experiencing major warrantable failures during the first 250 hours of operation or first 12 months of ownership, whichever occurs first. See below for complete details. 

Qualifying Machines

The SP comes standard on new machines that are sold pursuant to a Sales Order which includes the SP designation (“Qualifying Machines”). Machines sold without this designation will not qualify. See your dealer for eligibility information.

Term

The SP coverage shall only be in effect for the period during which a Qualifying Machine is covered by the applicable manufacturer’s base factory warranty (“Base Warranty”) and shall expire on the same terms. For purposes of the SP program, Case ProCare coverage shall be considered a Base Warranty. The SP coverage shall not extend to periods during which a Qualifying Machine is covered by an extended warranty, preventative maintenance contract, or any warranty or coverage beyond the applicable Base Warranty.

Mileage Coverage for Warrantable Repairs

The SP includes complimentary mileage and travel time costs (“Mileage Coverage”) to and from the Qualifying Machine for repairs covered by the applicable Base Warranty (“Warrantable Repairs”), provided the Qualifying Machine is physically within the Southeastern AOR (defined below).

Mileage Coverage Exceptions

Notwithstanding the above, the following events are not eligible for Mileage Coverage as part of the SP:

• Repairs due to damage by customer or by improper use.
• Wear part replacements not associated with a warrantable failure.
• Repairs or maintenance performed under an extended warranty or preventative maintenance contract.
• Repairs to machines physically located outside of the Southeastern AOR.
• Mileage and/or travel time incurred due to: (i) Southeastern’s inability to access the machine at the agreed upon time or place; or (ii) customer’s refusal to permit Southeastern to conduct the work at the agreed upon time or place.
• Any other repairs that are, in Southeastern’s sole discretion, not a Warrantable Repair covered by a permitted Base Warranty.

The foregoing exceptions are subject to our sole discretion, and their applicability may not become apparent or known to Southeastern prior to the physical inspection of the machine at issue. If, upon our observation or investigation: (i) any of the above exceptions apply, or (ii) the repair is deemed not to be a Warrantable Repair, after Southeastern has already incurred mileage and travel costs, the customer shall be charged pursuant to the standard fees in place at the time of the event.

In all instances, Southeastern reserves the right to determine in its sole and complete discretion if a field repair or shop repair is appropriate and to request that the customer bring the machine to the nearest Southeastern location, even if the machine is a Qualifying Machine and an exception does not apply.

For the avoidance of any doubt, the Mileage Coverage also includes travel for Case ProCare maintenance programs. We will strive to perform ProCare work on dates and times requested by the customer; however, Southeastern reserves the right to schedule ProCare maintenance visits at Southeastern’s discretion.

Shop Delivery and Pickup Coverage

If, upon observation or inspection, Southeastern determines that the Warrantable Repair cannot be completed in the field, Southeastern, at its expense, will truck the Qualifying Machine to and from customer’s location and the nearest Southeastern location to conduct the Warrantable Repair, provided the customer makes the Qualifying Machine readily available and confirms its location within the Southeastern AOR.

Machine Down Loaners

Subject to availability, customers with a Qualifying Machine located within the Southeastern AOR will receive, for up to thirty (30) calendar days, a complimentary loaner unit for any Warrantable Repair that will require, in Southeastern’s discretion, more than 48 hours to complete after the initial diagnosis and occurring within the first 250 machine hours or 12 months of ownership (whichever happens first). Southeastern will use its best efforts to provide a loaner unit of similar type and function, however, it may have different operating capabilities than the Qualifying Machine. Provision of the complimentary loaner unit is contingent upon customer’s agreement to and compliance with any and all rental terms and conditions provided by Southeastern in connection with the unit.

The complimentary loaner unit is limited to a maximum thirty (30) calendar day period. After the complimentary period ends, the loaner unit automatically becomes a rental at 50% card rate, unless the customer returns to loaner unit to Southeastern prior to the expiration of the complimentary period.

If the Qualifying Machine is fully repaired and returned to the customer within the complimentary period, the customer shall have 5 days to return the loaner unit to Southeastern, even if time remains in the complimentary period.  If the customer does not return the loaner unit within the required time period, the loaner unit will automatically become a rental to be charged at Southeastern’s standard rate. Such rental charges shall continue to accrue until the loaner unit is returned.

The customer is solely responsible for the provision of and costs related to trucking any a loaner unit, but Southeastern will make all reasonable efforts to mitigate the cost of the loaner trucking, to the extent possible.
