1. General

A contract (“Contract”) will only come into being upon acceptance by PRESCO of the customer’s order and the following conditions, and where applicable the terms and conditions of a hire and the maintenance agreement terms and conditions shall be deemed to be incorporated therein. Should there be any conflict between these conditions of sale and supply and the other terms and conditions referred to then these conditions of sale and supply shall prevail. This Agreement supersedes all previous agreements and understandings between Presco and the Customer in respect thereto and may not be modified in any way except by an instrument in writing signed by the duly authorised representatives of Presco and the Customer. All terms and conditions appearing to or referred to in the Customer’s order or otherwise stipulated by the Customer are not accepted and shall have no effect. By its acceptance, whether expressed or implied, of these terms and conditions the Customer acknowledges that in entering into this Agreement he does not do so on the basis of and does not rely on any representation, warranty, statement, agreement or undertaking of any nature whatsoever other than as expressly provided herein and to the extent that the Customer has been the Customer unconditionally and irrevocably waives any claims, rights or remedies which it might otherwise have had in relation thereto.

2. Prices

Where goods are sold by reference to Presco’s published price list the price payable for the goods shall be the ruling price as published in the price list current at the date of acceptance of the order for the goods, otherwise prices shall be charged on the basis of Presco’s quotation to the customer.

3. Warranty

Where machines are returned under warranty, they will be repaired or replaced in accordance with the manufacturer’s conditions. Presco shall exercise its sole discretion in deciding whether to repair or replace the item returned under Warranty. Warranty DOES NOT INCLUDE routine service work or repairs necessitated by misuse.

4. Delivery Charges UK

Delivery charges will apply as displayed in our current brochure. The goods shall be at the customer’s risk as from delivery.

7.2 Presco shall not be liable for any loss or damage whatever due to failure by Presco to deliver the goods or services (or any of them) promptly or at all.

8.1.1 for those goods
8.1.2 for any other goods supplied by Presco
8.1.3 of any other monies due from the customer to Presco on any account.
8.2 Until title to the goods passes to the Customer under clause 8.1 the Customer shall keep the goods separately and readily identifiable as the property at Presco.
8.3 Any resale by the Customer of goods in which title has not passed to the Customer shall (as between Presco and the Customer only) be made by the Customer as agent for Presco.

8.5.1 retake possession of all or any part of the goods and enter any premises for that purpose (or authorise others to do so) which the Customer hereby authorises;

8.6 Presco may at any time appropriate sums received from the Customer as it thinks fit notwithstanding any purported appropriation by the Customer.
