6. SERVICE PLANS

The following additional terms apply where you have a service plan with us (Service Plan) for equipment / machinery (machines). We agree to provide to you either a periodic service or breakdown service, depending on the plan you have chosen. 

6.1 Periodic service. This provision applies only where you have chosen periodic service. At each periodic service we must carry out the following services on all machines listed in the Service Plan:

(a) inspection and testing the machines with certified test weights;

(b) making adjustments to the machines to maintain the accuracy of the machines to conform to the standards normal for those machines; and

(c) perform preventative maintenance on the machines such as cleaning and lubricating vital operating parts or such other requirements, in accordance with our usual procedures.

The service period intervals are as specified in the Service Plan.

6.2 Breakdown service. This provision applies where you have chosen breakdown service. Within a reasonable time of a request from you we must provide remedial maintenance for any machine listed in the Service Plan which is not performing to the standards normal for such a machine because of a latent or patent fault in the machine and not an external cause. We provide service from 8am to 5pm Monday to Friday excluding local public holidays, unless some other period is stated in the Service Plan.

6.3 Limits. Our services do not include repairing damage caused by external factors such as, but not limited to, abuse, misuse, negligence or mis-operation by an operator, the customer or a third party or due to fire, water, theft, vandalism, accident or corrosive or injurious environment or where a machine has been repaired or interfered with by a person not authorised by us or if the machine is removed outside your premises at the address noted in the Service Plan. Without limiting those general words, that means we are entitled to make our usual charges if we are called out for a problem due to any such external factor or in those circumstances.

6.4 Composite machines. If a machine constitutes a part of an automatic packing machine or some other composite machine, our service obligations only extend to the servicing of the scale section of that machine, unless stated otherwise in the Service Plan.

6.5 Periodic verification. Periodic verification of machines may be required by a relevant authority. We may endeavour to arrange such periodic verification but we are not liable for any refusal or omission to arrange for such a verification. You must pay or reimburse us for any cost incurred in respect of such a periodic verification or any similar certification.

6.6 Consumable supplies. Consumable supplies (such as, but not limited to, paper and labels, printing dies, rubber components, ink and glass rollers, power cords and lamps) are not included. You must pay for them.

6.7 Replacement parts. We become the owner of parts that we replace. Replacement parts may not be the same as the originals. We may use reconditioned parts rather than new parts, as replacements.

6.8 Service for accessories. We are not obliged to provide service in connection with any accessory item, unless it is listed in the Service Plan as being covered for service.

6.9 Payment of our fees. All our Service Plans have renewal dates. The initial Service Plan fee is due immediately and the plan automatically renews on payment of renewal fees at our then ruling rates, prior to the start of the next term.

6.10 Commencement and Termination. The Service Plan commences on the date that we first deliver the machines to you or, if some later date is specified in the Service Plan, then the Service Plan commences on that later date. If there are multiple machines which are delivered on different days, then in the case of any uncertainty the Service Plan is regarded as having commenced on the day on which we delivered the first of those items. Either of us may give a notice to the other which terminates the Service Plan and takes effect at the end of the current Service Plan year, but the notice must be given at least fourteen days before the end of that year.

6.11 Assignment. You may not assign the benefit of the Service Plan without our prior written consent which may not be unreasonably withheld. We may assign our interest in, or our rights under, the Service Plan.

6.12 Workshop repairs. You must allow us to take the machines away to our workshop, if that is reasonably required, so we can carry out any maintenance under the Service Plan.

6.13 Overhauls. In some cases, with older machines, we may not agree to automatic renewal of a Service Plan unless you first allow us to give the machines a workshop overhaul at your cost.

6.14 No guarantee of uninterrupted service. No Service Plan can guarantee uninterrupted service from machines.

7. SERVICES

7.1 In connection with any sale or hire of Goods or separately, we may agree to provide the Services to you. If the Services include storage of your stock, you must comply with these Terms and the Terms in the relevant stock holding agreement or call off contract. 

7.2 We are not obliged to provide services in connection with any accessory item, unless there is an agreement to do so. If a Good constitutes part of a total system, our service obligations only extend to the servicing of that Good and not the entire system, unless agreed otherwise.

7.3 No Services provided can guarantee uninterrupted use of the Goods.

7.4 You must maintain at your own expense during the service period all appropriate policies of insurance.
