These terms and conditions of sale shall apply to the exclusion of all others and any terms and conditions of the purchaser (whether on the purchaser’s order form or otherwise) which are contrary to or inconsistent with these terms and conditions shall not apply, nor shall they constitute a counter offer or variation or waiver hereof. No goods will be supplied by Tip Top Equipment Pty Ltd (Tip Top Equipment) on any terms and conditions other than those set out herein, and by making application for credit or taking delivery of the goods the purchaser shall be deemed to irrevocably agree that these terms and conditions shall apply to the exclusion of all others.

A - PRICE: Unless agreed by Tip Top Equipment in writing to the contrary the price payable is Tip Top Equipment’s current price at date of delivery. We reserve the right to adjust prices within a reasonable scale under changed conditions, in particular cost increases relating to scales of wages, regulated prices for materials and parts, freight and duty charges of imported componentry or merchandise etc.

C -WARRANTY: All Tip Top Equipment’s Aluminium Tray Bodies and Trundle Tray storage drawers are guaranteed against failure under normal working conditions for the life time of the vehicle, to the original owner.
This does not cover normal wear and tear of the product, accidental or malicious damage or incorrect fitment to vehicle by someone other than Tip Top Equipment. All Tip Top Equipment’s Aluminium Tray Bodies are built and fitted by Tip Top Equipment according to the ADR National Vehicle Standards, Bulletin No.6. Lifetime warranty does not apply to Steel Trays. Steel Trays are guaranteed against significant rust for a period of 12 months. This does not include rust caused from normal wear and tear.
Where practical, the purchaser should return to Tip Top Equipment’s factory once every 12 months for an overall check and to have all mounting points tightened. If this is not possible, then it is the responsibility of the owner to have his/her mechanic tighten all mounting points and lubricate your hinges and catches when vehicle is being serviced. Where the tray body meets and is in accordance with the standard, Tip Top Equipment cannot take any responsibility for any partial obstruction of the side rear view mirror visibility. If the dealer or customer is of the opinion that the existing mirrors are insufficient, then it is their responsibility to organise and fit an alternative. Where a cab roof protection bar is fitted to a tray, Tip Top Equipment disclaims all responsibility as to the possibility of the bar creating wind noise. Where possible, we endeavour to warn customers prior to purchase, of this problem. As the problem varies according to the vehicle shape, no universal solution has been found, though every endeavour has been made to reduce the likelihood of it occurring. Warranty on tool and storage boxes is limited to whatever is given or implied by the original manufacturer. No guarantee is given or implied on any box as to its ability to prevent theft of equipment stored therein. The purchaser makes the decision based on his/her judgement as to which is best suited to the job on hand. Warranty on tonneau covers is limited to 12 months on cover fabric. No warranty is given or implied on shock cord as it is a wearing part.
