Email: [email protected] | Phone: +353 (0)43 332 2202
Established 1978 — Machinery Sales, Commissioning & Engineering Services
Effective Date: January 2026
IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR COMMERCIAL BUYERS: As a specialist engineering machine tool dealer, our transactions are strictly Business-to-Business (B2B). Customers are advised that standard consumer protection regulations do not apply to these commercial contracts. Please review sections regarding machine specifications, verification, and return restrictions prior to executing an order.
These Terms and Conditions govern all quotations, sales, installations, and commissioning of engineering machinery and tools provided by Harrison Bros (Longford) Ltd (trading as Kenequip Machine Tools, hereinafter referred to as "the Company") to workshops, manufacturers, and fabricators (hereinafter referred to as "the Customer"). By placing an order, requesting a quotation, or accepting delivery of machinery, the Customer explicitly agrees to be bound by these terms.
1. BASIS OF SALE & INVITATION TO TREAT
1.1. All technical listings, digital displays, photographs, and price indicators visible on the Company's website or social media channels represent an "invitation to treat" only and do not constitute an offer to sell.
1.2. A legally binding sales contract is formed exclusively when the Company issues a formal, written Pro-Forma Invoice or Order Confirmation, and the Customer has paid the stipulated deposit or cleared balance.
1.3. The Company reserves the absolute right to refuse or decline any order placement at its sole discretion without incurring financial liability.
2. PRICING & PRICE ON APPLICATION (POA) POLICY
2.1. Due to continuous variations in global freighting costs, steel manufacturing tariffs, and technical configurations (such as variable digital readouts, special electrical controllers, or custom guarding layouts), certain items are marked as Price on Application (POA).
2.2. Any quotation supplied by the Company following a POA inquiry is strictly confidential, tailored to that specific Customer requirement, and valid only for the duration explicitly marked on the face of the quote (typically 14 calendar days), after which it automatically expires.
2.3. Prices parsed, indexed, or cached by external search engine scrapers, schema applications, or third-party web aggregates are non-binding. The verified price is solely that which is written on the Company’s official paperwork.
2.4. Unless stated otherwise, all prices are quoted exclusive of Value Added Tax (VAT), which shall be charged at the prevailing Irish statutory rate (currently 23%), and exclusive of transit insurance, specialised offloading cranes, or custom tooling packages.
3. ERRORS AND OMISSIONS EXCEPTED (E&OE)
3.1. The Company exerts every reasonable effort to preserve accuracy across machine capacities, specifications, weights, stroke lengths, motor ratings, and Morse tapers. However, because new models are updated by manufacturers and used machinery may undergo historical modification, typos, technical mistakes, or omissions can occur.
3.2. Verification Mandate: The Customer is strictly required to verify all critical engineering metrics, clearance dimensions, and electrical phases directly with our sales team or technical engineers prior to finalising an order. The Company holds no liability for losses or expenses resulting from modifications to workshop footprints, floor-loading foundations, or independent ancillary equipment ordered based on unverified website text.
3.3. In the event that a configuration or pricing error is identified on an invoice prior to delivery, the Company reserves the clear right to amend or void the item and will contact the Customer to resolve the discrepancy or issue a complete refund of deposits paid.
4. PAYMENT TERMS & SAGE 50 ACCOUNTING
4.1. All transactions are logged through our commercial Sage 50 accounting structure. Standard payment protocols require a minimum deposit of 30% to reserve factory allocations or initiate delivery preparation, with the remaining 70% balance cleared in full prior to the machine leaving our yard, unless explicit commercial credit accounts have been authorised in writing.
4.2. Payments must be executed via direct Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) to our nominated bank account. Delivery schedules will remain on hold until our finance department confirms funds have completely cleared.
4.3. Overdue invoices are subject to statutory interest charges under the European Communities (Late Payment in Commercial Transactions) Regulations, calculated at the European Central Bank main refinancing rate plus 8 percentage points.
5. RETENTION OF TITLE
5.1. Notwithstanding delivery, offloading, or mechanical positioning on the Customer's premises, the legal and equitable title to and ownership of any machine tool remains explicitly vested in the Company until full cleared payment for the machinery, transport fees, and any associated tooling has been received.
5.2. Until title transfers, the Customer must maintain the machinery in excellent operational condition, store it safely as the Company’s fiduciary agent, and keep it fully insured against all standard risks for its replacement value.
5.3. If the Customer experiences an insolvency event, enters liquidation, appoints a receiver, or defaults on payment terms, the Company, its engineers, and transport partners retain an irrevocable license to enter the Customer's site without prior notice to disconnect, reclaim, and repossess the machinery.
6. LOGISTICS, DELIVERY & SITE OFFLOADING
6.1. Deliveries are typically facilitated utilising our private commercial vehicle fleet (including Scania, DAF, or MAN heavy haulage configurations) across the entire island of Ireland. Any indicated delivery dates are reasonable estimates only and time shall not be of the essence.
6.2. Customer Site Obligations: The Customer is exclusively responsible for ensuring safe, clear, and unobstructed vehicular access for heavy goods vehicles (HGVs). The Customer must provide competent personnel and appropriately certified lifting gear (such as heavy forklifts or overhead cranes) capable of handling the gross weight of the machinery.
6.3. Offloading risks pass entirely to the Customer immediately upon the vehicle arriving at the perimeter of the delivery site. Any damage sustained due to unstable ground, improper slinging, or inadequate forklift capacities is solely the responsibility of the Customer.
7. INSTALLATION, COMMISSIONING & ELECTRICAL MODIFICATIONS
7.1. Where formal commissioning services are contracted, our lead engineer will attend the Customer's site to check, level, level-verify, fluid check, and test run the machine tool. Commissioning will only commence once the Customer has provided an appropriate, certified electrical drop to the machine site.
7.2. Electrical Compliance: Many industrial machine tools require stable three-phase power supplies. Where technical modifications are carried out—such as fitting custom electronic motor speed controllers, single-to-three phase inverters, or retrofitting modern safety interlocks—these will be performed to strict commercial industrial safety compliance standards. The Customer remains responsible for their localised workshop distribution board capacity.
8. WARRANTY PROVISIONS & MACHINE STATUS
8.1. New Machinery: New engineering equipment (including authorized lines such as Durmapress, Dalian, Cormak lines) is accompanied by the standard manufacturer’s structural and mechanical parts warranty, typically covering 12 months from the date of final commissioning, excluding standard wearing parts, tooling consumables, or operational negligence.
8.2. Used & Second-Hand Machinery: All used lathes, milling machines, press brakes, guillotines, and bandsaws are sold on a professional "as seen, as tested" basis. The Customer is actively encouraged to visit our facility to run, test, and measure tolerances on used assets prior to logistics authorization. No warranties regarding specific commercial output capacity or component longevity are extended on used stock unless documented explicitly on the invoice.
9. MERCHANT RETURN POLICY (B2B RESTRICTIONS)
9.1. Because our transactions serve the manufacturing and commercial engineering trade, there is no automatic right to return machinery due to a change of mind, commercial project cancellation, or workshop configuration errors.
9.2. Any return considerations for stock items are strictly at the absolute discretion of the Company’s management. If an exception is approved, the item must be completely unutilized, in its original protective transit wrap, and will incur a mandatory 15% restocking fee (R = 0.15 times P) to cover engineer safety audits, detailing, and log administrative tracking, alongside any outbound and return transport fees.
10. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
10.1. The maximum aggregate financial liability of the Company for any breach, delay, defect, or operational stoppage, whether arising in contract, tort (including negligence), or statutory duty, shall be strictly capped at a sum equal to the net price paid by the Customer for that specific unit of machinery.
10.2. Under no circumstances shall the Company be held liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential losses, including but not limited to: loss of factory production, missed fabrication contract deadlines, operator downtime, third-party tooling damage, or lost commercial profits.
11. FORCE MAJEURE
11.1. The Company shall not be liable for any failure or delay in delivering machinery or performing engineering services caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including international shipping blockades, customs delays at ports of entry, supply chain shortfalls, industrial strikes, electrical grid failures, or extreme weather events preventing safe heavy logistics transit.
12. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION
12.1. These Terms and Conditions, alongside any primary commercial sales contract executed hereunder, shall be governed by, interpreted, and construed exclusively in accordance with the Laws of Ireland.
12.2. Both parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of Ireland, with primary dispute proceedings to be held in the appropriate regional jurisdiction nearest to the Company's registered office in Longford.
