SAFETY In today's world of ‘No Win No Fee Lawyers' dealers cannot afford to be involved with negligence claims of any kind. Neither can they risk local failing to abide by Health & Safety inspections or ‘the safety at work’ acts. All this can happen because equipment was purchased and not correctly built and tested. Or, the equipment was illegally built by a company making copies of the manufacturers original plans, design, copyright and the equipment’s safety testing. Be aware, it has been well proven that ignorance of the law is no excuse when accidents happen. Each employer is personally responsible to ensure vehicles which can weigh up to 3,000 kilo are lifted using equipment having the relevant safety certification provided by the original manufacturer. To maintain such certification a system of continued inspection ensures fully 'qualified' people build to original tested specifications and standards. Any change to such specification must be re-tested in a similar way to SVA. Over 3,000 Franchise car dealers have used our unique copyright see-saw ramps COPYRIGHT ISSUES Thousands of our see-saw rental units are on site at dealerships in Europe, the UK and Ireland. It is not legal for Ford to copy the look and shape of a BMW or, Marks & Spencer to copy a dress from Christian Dior. In all cases of design infringement we will protect years of investment by pursuing through the courts any person (personally) or company infringing our European copyright in design. Whether this is by manufacturing or assisting to manufacture the same or similar units. Our contracted
lawyers are one of the utmost respected 'Intellectual Property Rights'
lawyers in the UK. Click here to see some proven copyright cases: Case 1 & Case 2. Many other are on the internet. As you can imagine, we have a wide and extensive long term investment in a particular target market. An investment producing a substantial monthly rental income which must be protected on behalf of our shareholders and investors at all times. In all cases we will seek to recover full court cost, company and personal damages where ever possible. Damages which could also include compensation to our company 'image' through passing off and poor quality goods. Requesting injunctions and seizure of assets when possible.
EBAY SALES It is not uncommon to find our seesaw units on Ebay as they retain a good resale value. However, as a hire company it is highly possible that such units could be stolen if not being legally manufactured. From a tax point of view, a purchase without a receipt may not be economical for your company. Even at half the price it could also be risky if the seller cannot give you a receipt or you can't check if the goods are stolen. Again, ignorance is no excuse of the law and Paypal receipts are not accepted by the UK tax authority or proof of ownership as they do not contain the sellers full details.
