1. Prices:
Prices are Ex Works machine location and are
subject to change without notice. All sales taxes, duties
and port charges, if any, are extra and shall be the
responsibility of the purchaser.
A regional BETA representative has no
authority to make any adjustments or additions to these
Terms and Conditions of Sale outlined herein.
2. Moving, Rigging, Loading, Packing, Freight
Charges & Unloading:
All orders
do not include rigging, dismantling, loading, packing,
securing, blocking, freight charges, unloading or any
type of moving, freight or other charges associated with
getting the equipment to the purchaser.
If the purchaser requests for BETA to book
any of the said services above on his behalf, BETA will have
the option to do so, but if BETA does do so, it is only as a
courtesy to the purchaser and BETA does not take any
responsibility for said services or any damages or
additional charges that may be associated with any service.
It will be the full responsibility of the purchaser to be
present, or to have his assigned agent present, when the
equipment is being dismantled, packed, secured and loaded to
supervise and to make sure that the work is performed and
the shipment is transported and arrives to his satisfaction.
A
lack of an assigned agent or representative, will not
release the purchaser from this responsibility and will not,
in any way, shift responsibility onto BETA. All charges
associated with preparing and shipping the equipment to the
destination will be determined and collected by the various
companies that have been assigned to perform the work and/or
service. The exception will be if BETA has been specifically
requested to book and prepay said work on behalf of the
purchaser. However, booking, prepayment on behalf of the
purchaser and adding this amount to the invoice does not
constitute
any indication of
assignment of responsibility. It is the ultimate
responsibility of the purchaser to make sure all work and
the shipment arrives to his satisfaction.
Selection of companies to perform the work shall be stated
by the purchaser or shall be subject to "any available
company". If left to any available company, BETA shall make
effort to have the work performed and the equipment shipped
by the most practical and economical way possible.
Dismantling, rigging, packing, freight charges and any other
services quoted are estimates only, provided for discussion
purposes, and are subject to actual final costs. Unloading,
installation, hook-up of services, addition of fluids,
addition of other sundry items and products in preparation
for startup, regulation, setup, adjustment, connection,
alterations and/or customization is the responsibility of
the purchaser. In addition, it is the responsibility of the
purchaser to have sufficient equipment and manpower to off
load the shipment. Delay in releasing the driver/port and
his trailer/container in a timely fashion may ensure
additional charges from the carrier.
3.
Quotations:
All
equipment and items or products quoted are subject to prior
sale. BETA reserves the right to reject any offer to
purchase and refund any payment/deposit for any lack of
compliance or agreement to these terms and conditions of
sale. In addition, BETA reserves the right to withdraw any
quotation at any time prior its formal acceptance.
Quotations are based on the quantity indicated, an estimate
of equipment specifications and complete and/or
truckload/container shipments at one time.
4.
Purchase Orders:
All purchase
orders should be made out directly to BETA and not to any
representative of BETA. Once accepted, the orders will be
confirmed in writing and signed by BETA. Equipment stays
property of BETA until paid in full.
5.
Product Specifications:
Due to the
nature of used equipment and the fact that accurate detailed
specifications of the equipment being sold are sometimes
hard or impossible to obtain and/or have been lost by the
original owner(s), BETA reserves the right to make
modifications to specifications of all equipment being sold
as that information is obtained, retrieved and/or found,
without advance notice.
Every effort is made to supply the
purchaser with the most up-to-date and accurate technical
information of the equipment available for sale. However,
again due to the nature of used/second hand equipment,
accurate technical information is hard, or at times
impossible to find. As such, Beta will not be held
responsible for any technical discrepancies or inaccuracies
in its advertising, website, offers, quotes, catalogs,
specification sheets, brochures, handouts or in any
other medium.
As well,
it is impossible to BETA to be aware
of each potential purchaser's detailed requirements.
As such, prior to sending a purchase order, it is highly
recommended that the purchaser, or his authorized agent or
representative, should inspect each piece of equipment as to
fitness and whether it meets his criteria. Each sale will be
treated as “Inspected and Approved by the Purchaser” before
shipping.
6.
Lead Times:
All delivery
information provided at time of quotation is "lead time"
only. Actual deliveries are subject to conditions prevailing
at time of order placement or receipt of approval, release
and/or deposit. Delivery time is also subject to the amount
of worked required to prepare the equipment for shipping and
any subcontractors such as riggers, packing companies and
freight forwarders and/or shipping companies and their
schedules and/or availability. BETA shall not be held
responsible for any delays in shipping or back charges.
7.
Damage Claims:
All items are shipped "as
is". The carriers assume responsibility for both apparent
and concealed damages sustained in transit. However, due to
the nature of used/second hand equipment, this is at times
very difficult to determine. Nevertheless, it is the
responsibility of the buyer to inspect and check the
equipment upon receipt. Any visible shortages and/or
damages, concealed or otherwise, should be noted on the
carrier's PRO bill and a claim should be filed with the
carrier in a timely manner. Failure to enter a claim within
the prescribed limits of the carrier can possibly nullify
any such claim. BETA shall not be responsible in any way for
damage or shortages sustained to equipment in transit.
8.
Warranty:
All used equipment is sold as is where is
without warranty, stated or implied. Due to the nature of
used equipment, the condition of the equipment, if stated,
is at best an estimate only.
