Terms & Conditions of Sale
[1] Terms of Delivery
I, the customer, am to pay for my own electrical and plumbing connections and the cost of any necessary alterations to my premises. Sydney Commercial Kitchens [SCK] is to complete the delivery on or about the date agreed upon in the contract, but this obligation is subject to my premises being ready to receive the installation and to all delays directly arising from shipping, non-availability of ordered equipment, strikes, lockouts, accidents, fires, wars, acts of God, non-delivery of material or parts by suppliers or any other cause or reason whatsoever beyond our control. No such delay shall excuse or justify my refusal to accept delivery of the equipment.
[2] Warranties
The equipment is covered by the manufacturers warranty and any terms and conditions that may apply under said warranty. Our manufacturers and suppliers will work hard to provide warranty service in an appropriate time frame. While some customers will request a replacement item or a full refund should there be a fault present at purchase the suppliers will invariably exercise their right to repair the item as covered under the warranty.

[3] Retention of Title

[4] Default
