Sale or Return
Scales requested for demonstration purposes require an offical order to the supplier from the customer at that time. An invoice will be raised against it under our standard payment terms. If the goods are not sold, a credit note will be issued, in full, on their return, at the customer’s expense, (complete with covering paperwork from the customer). The goods are to be returned to the supplier in an “as new” condition complete with all original packaging, power supplies, manuals etc. Any shortages or damage will be charged for in full.

Goods supplied on hire are done so at the customer’s risk. Any losses or damage caused while on hire will be charged for in full. Goods must be available for return or collection at the end of the agreed hire period. If not available they will be subject to further hire charges until they become so.
Software
Software will be supplied to specification agreed between Stringers, the customer and the end-user (if different). Any modifications requested after acceptance of a complete system or any demonstration/trial version will be chargeable.
Intellectual property rights will belong to the supplier. Software is provided “as is” and Stringers grants no warranties, expressed or implied – it is the responsibility of the customer and/or end-user to test the software and ensure it satisfies all requirements. Stringers will not be liable for any damages including any incidental or consequential damages arising out of the use or failure of the software. It is the responsibility of the customer and/or end-user to put in place contingency plans and systems.

This is usually information that is already in the public domain, and you will be notified when this has taken place.
In the unlikely event that our business assets are sold or purchased by another company, our data records will be sold too as part of our business.
How long will my information be kept?
