FAQ

If you have a question not answered here, please email us at info@ptsyst.com.  We will gladly answer your question by return.

1. What are your terms and conditions of sale

See the next section for our T&C's.

2. How long do you guarantee your products?

We offer a minimum guarantee of one year.  However, most of our products are guaranteed for three years.  Contact us for verification.

3. Where do you sell your products?  Do you have an agent in my country?

We sell worldwide.  Our products are used in over 55 countries.  Refer to the contact us page for lists of our agents in various countries.  If your country is not listed, contact sales@ptsyst.com to find out which department of our company looks after your country.

4. What is the typical cost to delivery your products to different parts of the world?

We use DHL, UPS or FedEx to send our products worldwide.  Most shipments are covered by our blanket insurance policy.  Typically costs for a 2U, 19" rack mount product ranges from $75 to Europe and the USA and up to $350 for more remote locations.  We normally like to ship goods in a metal protective case and this costs an additional $ 60.00, but well worth the cost.  

5. GPS / GNSS Antenna questions.  What's the best antenna, can I use it inside and how long can the cable run be?

Refer to our Application Notes section for more information on GPS and GNSS satellite antennas.

Unlike other competitors we never stop supporting an old product.  We started manufacturing our own brand of test equipment in the late 1990's and all these products can still be repaired and calibrated by precision Test Systems.  Just email our service department on service@ptsyst.com and  your email will be answered.

2.4 Software. Any software supplied by the seller is used by the buyer at the buyersÃ?â?? risk. No warranty is made by the seller that the software will work on every computer, or that it is virus free. However, the seller will do all in its power to remedy any buyer problems.

2.5 The warranty only applies to the goods sold by the seller. No consequential damages will be paid by Precision Test Systems.

2.6 Disclaimer of warranty. The seller disclaims all other warranties, representations that are expressed, implied, statutory or otherwise.

2.7 Any occurrence of fire, theft, explosion, riot, strike or any other act of god will not constitute any grounds for warranty claims by the buyer.

3.0 Terms

3.1 Unless otherwise stated, all sales shall be cash in advance of delivery. If terms are granted by the seller to the buyer, terms are 30 days net. If payment is made late, any warranties will automatically be forfeited. Interest at the rate of 2% per month may be charged on any outstanding account.

3.2 Taxes

All prices quoted are free of VAT, GST or any other tax, including customs charges.

3.3 Delivery Dates

All delivery dates are approximate. The seller will do its best to deliver goods on time, but will not incur any liability if delivery is late for any reason. Seller reserves the right to deliver in part shipments.

3.4 Shipment Risk of Loss

The buyer is liable for any risk or damage to the goods once it leaves the sellers premises. Therefore, the seller is encouraged to take out insurance to cover them for this loss.

3.5 Retention of Tile

The goods only become the property of the seller when the account is paid in full, for the goods.

3.6 Rejection of Goods by Buyer

The buyer may not reject any goods unless any non-conformity is substantial. Any non-conformity in one part of a shipment shall not constitute the right of the buyer to reject the whole batch. No rejections can be made by the buyer, for any reason, if the goods are especially designed for the buyer. Therefore any special designs are for the entire risk of the buyer.

4.0 Order Acceptance and cancellation

The buyer automatically accepts these terms and conditions of sale once an order is placed with the seller. All orders received by the seller, whether verbal or written are based on the sellersÃ?â?? quotation or latest price list and to all parts of this agreement. A cancellation fee may apply if an order is cancelled within five days of it being placed. No cancellation is allowed after five days unless confirmed in writing by the seller. Any goods especially designed by the seller for the buyer (specials) cannot be cancelled for any reason.

5.0 Buyer Insolvency

In the event of the buyersÃ?â?? insolvency, the seller reserves the right to cancel any contracts, and recover any unpaid goods.

6.0 General Provisions and Assumptions

6.1 The buyer is not able to transfer the rights of this agreement to any other entity without the written permission of the seller.

6.2 Paragraph headings are used for convenience only. They are not intended to alter or affect the meaning of this agreement.

6.3 The invalidity of any one part of this agreement shall not affect the invalidity of the whole agreement.

6.4 Communication between the seller and the buyer shall be by post, facsimile or email. Any such notice given by the seller is deemed to have been received by the buyer within three days of it being sent, unless a rejection notice is received by the seller. No communication sent to the seller is deemed to have been received unless the seller acknowledges receipt, either by post, email or facsimile.

6.5 The seller, under its discretion, may relax any part of this agreement. However, any relaxation does not mean any other part of the agreement is relaxed.

6.6 This entire agreement is subject to the laws of the United Kingdom only.
