Davies Implements – Used Machinery Terms and Warranty Statement
Part 1: Used machinery – terms of sale (for the website)
Our aim is never to mislead a customer when buying a used machine from us. Our main terms for the sale and delivery of used machinery are set out below.
- Prices and VAT. Prices shown for consumers include VAT. Prices marked “+VAT” are trade prices and are subject to VAT at the current rate. [Some machines may be sold under the VAT margin scheme, where VAT is not shown separately.]
- Delivery. Delivery is not included in the price unless stated, and will be quoted separately.
- Reserving a machine. We will reserve a used machine only when asked, on payment of a 10% deposit. We will hold the machine for 7 days unless our sales team agrees otherwise. A 10% deposit is also required when an order is placed and the machine is not delivered or collected straight away.
- Deposits.
- Trade customers: deposits are non-refundable.
- Consumers: if you change your mind, we may keep enough of the deposit to cover our reasonable costs and will refund the balance. This does not affect your right to cancel under point 10.
- If we are unable to complete the sale, your deposit will be refunded in full.
- Payment. A machine will only be released for collection or delivery once payment has been received in full.
- Images and descriptions. Website images show the actual machine for sale unless stated otherwise. Descriptions, hours and service history are given in good faith from the information available to us.
- Condition. Used machines will show wear consistent with their age, hours and previous use. We will never knowingly offer a used machine with mechanical damage or performance issues without telling you. Any known faults will be described before sale and recorded on your invoice.
- Viewing. We recommend that you view the machine before buying.
- Sold as seen (trade only). Machines sold to trade customers as “sold as seen” are sold in their current condition with no warranty, as stated on the invoice.
- Buying online or by phone (consumers). If you are a consumer and buy without visiting our premises, you have the right to cancel within 14 days of receiving the machine. You will be responsible for the cost of returning it.
- Warranty. Any warranty on a used machine will be stated on the sales invoice and is subject to our terms set out below.
- Your rights. These terms do not affect your statutory rights as a consumer. Our full terms and conditions are available [here – insert link].
