VIEWING KERBY™ INSTALLATIONS (& SAMPLES)

Quality Driveway Access Ramps (KERBY™ types of installations), places and areas near me…

24 Sheridan Drive, Rolleston is where you can view and test the prototype 9m Standard Straight Installation (hard-up-to-the-kerb/close to the kerb), or buy and collect the KERBY™ from (by appointment). NB: Being hard up against the kerb, debris gets caught and also makes the angle steeper, hence doesn’t fully eliminate the bump, whereas…

26 Sheridan Drive, Rolleston is where you can see and test a Standard Straight 4m Installation 30mm out-from-the-curb as well as 48-50 Strauss Ave for Slightly Curved Standard install. NB: Being 30mm out from the kerb, this get’s rid of the debris and makes for a better softer angle on approach, in my opinion, eliminating 99% the bump. 

14 Lydiard Drive, Rolleston is where you can see a 4m Standard Straight 4m Installation: with a Grey Friars Powdercoated Finish, plus a Glow-In-The-Dark Stripe 30mm out-from-the-kerb. 

1 Falcon’s Landing’s Garage or 23 Haymakers Crescent DrivewayRolleston is where you can see a 4m Standard Straight 4m Installation: with a Black/Ebony Powdercoated Finish 30mm out-from-the-kerb.

10 Snowlea Place, Winfield, West Melton has an awesome new example of a Tight Custom Convex Curved Install with multiple 500mm length pieces of custom-fitted multiple angled pieces

12-14 Louis Lane has a very good sample of an extreme, Very Tight Custom Concave Curved Installation, or Sharp Curve Installation, cul-de-sac corner install with multiple-length angled pieces.

A “CLEAN” length or section has NO HOLES.
However, we can professionally “PRE-DRILL” them for a DIY install or shipment to another city, or “INSTALL” them locally in Canterbury New Zealand (NZ) if required.
We just need to know how many holes and what the dyna-bolts/sleeve anchors/concrete screws are going into (aka, the road surface or type of concrete), and the address – therefore the total width of the driveway/access point, and subsequent configuration of The KERBY™ product/length(s)/pieces required etc that can be accurately quoted, see below.

 

Yes, KERBY™ can be POWDER-COATED!
Please ask for this additional service as it has to go away to the powder-coater for a few days and be in their queue to be done, but it’s worth it! To view a sample of the fancy new TEFLON-TEXTURED BLACK version for a garage entrance, look from the path of 1 Falcon’s Landing or Haymakers Crescent, Rolleston. It’s soooooooo awesome!

KERBY™ INFORMATION ON PRODUCTS & Pre-INSTALLATION

STANDARD INSTALL [A, B, C & D images]

Slight Convex or Concave curved driveway entrance from the road/curb/road side entry. 

As per the “B” and “C” images above. All of these images are examples of a Standard Install which are of the highest quality materials and labour (install and cutting etc). And around 95% of the other images that you can see on here on this website. It just means I fit and install them as Straight lengths with 90-degree or right-angle Butt Joins with a small gap (due to the undulating concrete or a slight curve in the road). All of these straight line or a slight curve installs that you can see – The Standard Install – will be placed around 30-50mm out from the roadside curb edge, which gets rid of leaves and water flow etc behind the KERBY™, using straight 1m-4m lengths. This makes for a softer angle, less of a bump, quieter and safer busy road access. All the Butt Joints that you see will have a small gap that most people normally don’t worry about as the car tyres won’t fall into those small gaps. I haven’t heard of any car tyres being cut by the ramp edges to date as tyres can easily handle the ramps and joins, as tyres are hard yet flexible, (do not drive over the ends of the ramps straight on as you are not covered). That’s why we designed it this way after a lot of testing and to take the forces of even a truck with a loaded container on it. Even the road sweepers love KERBY™ as it does not move and only gets slightly scuffed by the brushes. The Selwyn District Council (SDC) is happy with the product, just so you know.

 

CUSTOMISED INSTALLATIONS [E & F images]

Tighter , More Complex  Concave and Convex Curves in the road/curb/road side entry. 

As per the “E” and “F” images above. The same as the Standard Install but “custom templated, customised ‘angled’ cutting, fitted and fixed in place like a glove” (like number 11 on this website around a complex tight concave curve). These installs take quite a lot of extra time, (usually two-three visits plus 2-3 hours of extra work installing). The additional costs are added to the quote, plus the extra labour for the time involved installing and the materials can all be separated out. This includes/incurs the extra costs for precise cutting of custom angles to fit closer together than a Standard Install Butt Joint, additional drilling multiple more holes for the extra fixings etc), and the result will be very good looking tight angled joins, which means this type of Custom Install will be specified to happen up front as an additional job cost of normally around +$250+GST in labour*.

I am very fussy and install KERBY™ product to the best of my ability, as if it was better than my own property.

 

Remedial or Additional Work

If you are not happy with the Standard Install, I can uplift the KERBY™ lengths and take them away to get customised angles cut (about $100+GST extra), this will reduce the gaps, and the total width as the segments will come closer together as well as loosing material when you cut them, but again, due to the nature of undulating concrete means they still will not fit perfectly close together without a small angular gap as a join. There will be a few millimetres gap/buffer both in height and touching each other. They will look ‘tighter’ and better looking than a squarer Standard Install around a slight curve, or using longer lengths to go around a tighter curved curb, typically 1m and 2m lengths. The gaps around the back will be similar to a the original Standard Install. I will of course need to re-install the lengths in different concrete holes as they would have changed position slightly (about $100+GST extra for the time drilling and additional fixings (the Dynabolts/Sleeve Anchors) cannot be reused)). I also wish concrete was a perfect thing, but it is not apparent until when you start a Standard or Custom Install that there are variable heights and undulations in the concrete curb where the KERBY™ will be placed. The result will be a far superior ‘look’ when there are tighter gaps together, but similar gaps around the back of the KERBY™ as the final result. Half way between a Standard Install and a Custom Instal.

If I install the KERBY™ and you think it’s not wide enough, I can come along later and add an extra 500mm or 1m length on the side(s) for an additional cost (or even a custom cut length of any measurement less that 4m, as the lengths come in 4m standard lengths).

OVERVIEW

KERBY.NZ & Ramps.NZ will endeavour to provide you with the best possible quality products and services at all times and follow up when we can in between installing products elsewhere. Please Note: Concrete is not an exact science and therefor I have to do my best to work with what’s there in your driveway area in front of me at the time of installation. Curves, fluctuations, out of level, bumps and deformations etc are normal, and I can only do my best at the time of installation with what is there currently in front of me. There may be a slight gap between the KERBY™ lengths (joins) or a different measurement of the offset away from the curb to the KERBY™ extrusion itself in the middle of the lengths closest to the curb due to the nature of the concrete at your place. Concrete is a variable surface and affects the levels and gaps of the installation and I try my best to install KERBY™ to make it look and perform the best at the time of installation for your custom situation. All installs are different in terms of the concrete surface, which in some cases require an additional Variation to the Final Quote (billed separately, see below for details).

NB: Please make sure you read these notes thoroughly and measure up your gap wisely and correctly to what you envisage the width of the access point is (that you require) and relay the correct measurements in millimetres (mm) to us via email or text. We cut and install KERBY™ lengths to YOUR measurements after you engage with us or call/request KERBY™ products to be installed (accept the web form quote or Final email Quote). In the occurrence that your measurement is too small (or short), we can add increments of 1m lengths to each side of the existing installation at a later date (or at the time as additional lengths (a Variation) as per current pricing. Please also note that a drain or a sump cannot be covered by KERBY™. A significant fee will be charged for uplifting, un-intsalling or moving KERBY™ if you are unhappy with the install (see below). Also note that when you engage our services for product(s) and/or an install, you agree to our T&C’s here/below, so please read carefully. I know this seems like a lot, but is all common-sense wording designed to make life easier and more transparent in terms of expectations.

Visual Representation of KERBY™: On this website photos look like we have tried to minimalise the look of the joins (taking the photos from a distance), but there are gaps with your Standard Install, especially around slight curve installs (as right angles) is how the lengths are normally cut as standard and if there is a curve the gaps open up the more the curve angle is, plus you get a variable gap behind or at the back as well. The KERBY™ product is not generally designed to go around corners in very tiny lengths (less than 1m), as the more you cut it the weaker and more wobbly it gets due to the irregular concrete base. For Custom Installs (around a tight curve), I would not recommend using less than 1m lengths as these end up becoming weaker over time, they become mobile and noisy, yet a tighter more uniform look. However, in saying that, I glue them as well but it’s not 100% guaranteed that they will hold for a long time. They can be remedied, but will incur a call-out fee of generally $50+GST. The KERBY™ product (ramp) is designed to flex as one big length, spreading the load over 2m-4m lengths that are the most stable.

KERBY™ Quotes & ESTIMATES

All Quotes/Estimates indicates the general design assembly of your KERBY™ Installation and lasts for 14 (fourteen) days only due to the volatile nature of the raw product price fluctuations (Aluminium prices change daily). Whilst every care is taken in quoting, it remains your responsibility to proof all text, figures, pricing and specifications prior to install, and KERBY™ accepts no responsibility for inaccuracies of the final install due to the concrete surface itself as this effects the finished visual results (variable gaps and heights). Installation means drilling holes in the concrete, using special tools to fix down KERBY™ with either Stainless Steel Dynabolts/Sleeve Anchors or Concrete Screws into the concrete (it is removable later by the way and you can take it to your new home if it fits), and finished with special nylon dome hole or cap covers to make it look finished. So during the install we deal with all the unforeseen uneven concrete levels, the slight curves and irregularities that become apparent when we put a straight edge (the KERBY™) in place at the time, so then in a case like that, I pack underneath with special wedges (unseen), to make it level and the more stable amongst doing all sorts of other things to make it long-lasting and hopefully perfect for you.

If any aspect of our quoting is unclear to you, please ask for clarification. Our quotes have been compiled as accurate as possible at the time and normally include a viewing either from Google Maps or a physical measure-up to establish if the project is a Straight, Slight Curve or Tight Complex Curve install as outlined above. All quotes are valid for 14 (fourteen) days from the date and are a ball-park figure estimate only due to many different fluctuations in prices due to materials, your concrete situation and extra design changes as required. To ensure getting the best price, we ask that payment be made in full before the instal to book your install date, payment within seven (7) days (unless other arrangements exist) from date of invoice is the normal terms. A $50+GST SURCHARGE will apply on any job where payment is received AFTER the required date. Please remember, KERBY™ reserves the right to charge interest at 15% per annum on any amounts overdue, and also to initiate legal proceedings for debt recovery if any invoice is overdue by more than 30 days. Should KERBY™ incur any costs in connection with collection of fees or disbursements, these will be recoverable from you, in addition to the invoice in full and any interest charges. Prices are subject to availability and price of stock at placement of order. Due to the nature of your concrete situation, any quote costs listed are an ESTIMATE ONLY and therefore subject to change at the time of installation (closer inspection). KERBY™ reserves the right to re-quote on sighting of your driveway entrance, if deemed necessary. If the quote is deemed to be A Change or VARIATION to the Standard Install, then at the time it will be voiced if extra time, costs or configurations need to be altered due to the concrete’s irregularities etc. Once the Variation has been agreed to, before the install by way of voice at the time or by text at the time, the New Installation will proceed and a Variation Invoice (UPDATED QUOTE or INVOICE) will be produced and sent as agreed, after the install and subject to these T&C’s. Any additional installation time will be charged out at the normal hourly rate. Jobs may be stopped/cancelled at any stage, and only the materials and installation time up to that point will be charged. A minimum charge of $50+GST will apply if work has been initiated. Affirmative acknowledgment of any of our correspondence by e-mail, text or voice call, or acceptance of our quote by email or physically, is deemed as acceptance of KERBY™’s Terms & Conditions of Trade (T&C’s) which are in full here on our website here: kerby.nz. Thank you for reading the small print.

NB: We have to cut up Straight 4m Standard Lengths into sections to get around acute convex or concave tight CURVES (which is additional material, cutting and fixing costs). So if you have a slight or an acute tight curve for an entrance/access point, calculate on 2x 2m or 3-4x 1m sections for example, and KERBY™ will be installed to the best practical fit or “look” to the curve centred on your entrance or garage to create the best visual appeal, totally at your request.

In the event of the Company making any error or omission in the services provided to the Customer, the Company’s liability is limited to the invoiced value of the assignment in which the error was made.

8.3 It is the responsibility of the Customer to pay when due. While the Company may provide reminders about payments due, the Company accepts no liability for failing to provide such reminders.

8.4 It is the responsibility of the Customer to correctly determine its liabilities, and the Customer acknowledges that any decision may involve uncertainty as to the correct treatment to be applied or position to be adopted, and releases the Company from any and all liability for any additional, penalties or interest that may be payable due to a position being disallowed, whether the position has been made known explicitly to the Customer or not.

8.5 It is the sole responsibility of the Customer or representative thereof to fully check all details contained within the Final Quote and sign it off. The Company is not liable for any or associated print or consequent error or omission costs once the Final Quote has been signed off by the Customer where it has been deemed “Good to go” to install or publication on this website. The Supplier retains the right to source payment directly from the Customer under their Terms and Conditions if the Customer does not want to pay due to any error or omission that has been mis-proofed by the Customer. The Company is not liable for errors or omissions on works that has been signed off by the Customer, you as the Customer, indemnifies the Company against all mistakes, infringements, liabilities, damages and loss of earnings as a consequence.

8.6 The Customer indemnifies the Company against all mistakes, infringements, liabilities, damages and loss of earnings as a consequence of false or faulty information.

8.7 Liability of the Company is to try to meet the install deadline if humanly possible. If an unforeseen problem or an act of god slows the process, communication will be sent. Conversely, if the Customer holds up the process for any reason, it is that Customer who is liable for any consequences, legal or monetary, if they have a problem with the delay.

8.8 Whilst every care is taken in pre-quote measure-ups, it remains the Customer’s responsibility to proof all text, figures, specifications and configurations prior to install, and the Seller accepts no responsibility for inaccuracies within the product after the sign off of the Final Quote. The Seller is not liable for any works that has been signed off by Customer’s, you as the Customer, indemnifies the Seller against all mistakes, infringements, liabilities and damages after that point of the process.

8.9 Changing any details whatsoever after signing off the Final Quote, whilst at the installation stage (changing works or configuration), attracts an additional Variation fee. You must realise that changing works at install time breaks the deadline and the Terms and Conditions of Trade of this contract.

8.10 The Customer is to proof read and approve the Final Quote before the installation of Finished Works. Signing of the Electronic Proof Form, Submitting the Website’s Web Form or the email verification of the Client’s Representative shall be conclusive as to the approval of all works prior to their release for implementation or installation. While The Seller takes all care to avoid errors, The Seller accepts no responsibility for product inconsistencies or installation errors, or incorrect information on any project approved by a client. No refunds are given after a final approved quote due oversights by The Client’s proof reading.

8.11 With all installations there will be some concrete variations from what you have seen on screen, to what the final product looks like, and previous orders. This is due to the nature of concrete and bulk-run subdivisions. There will be no re-installations at our expense.

13. PERSONAL PROPERTY SECURITIES ACT 1999

Upon assenting to these Terms and Conditions in writing the Customer acknowledges and agrees that:

(a) these terms and conditions constitute a security agreement for the purposes of the PPSA; and

(b) a security interest is taken in all Goods and Services previously supplied by the Seller to the Customer (if any) and all Goods that will be supplied in the future by the Seller to the Customer during the continuance of the parties relationship.

14. SECURITY AND CHARGE

Despite anything to the contrary contained herein or any other rights which the Seller may have howsoever:

(a) Where the Customer and/or the Guarantor (if any) is the owner of land, realty or any other asset capable of being charged, both the Customer and/or the Guarantor agree to mortgage and/or charge all of their joint and/or several interest in the said land, realty or any other asset to the Seller or the Seller’s nominee to secure all amounts and other monetary obligations payable under the terms and conditions. The Customer and/or the Guarantor acknowledge and agree that the Seller (or the Seller’s nominee) shall be entitled to lodge where appropriate a caveat, which caveat shall be released once all payments and other monetary obligations payable here-under have been met.

(b) Should the Seller elect to proceed in any manner in accordance with this clause and/or its sub-clause indemnify the Seller from and against all the Seller’s costs and disbursements including legal costs on a solicitor and own Customer basis.

(c) To give effect to the provisions of clause [11, 12.1 (a) to (b)] inclusive here-of the Customer and/or the Guarantor (if any) do hereby irrevocably nominate constitute and appoint the Seller or the Seller’s nominee as the Customer’s and/or Guarantor’s true and lawful attorney to execute mortgages and charges (whether registrable or not) including such other terms and conditions as the Seller and/or the Seller’s nominee shall think fit in his/her/its/their absolute discretion against the joint and/or several interest of the Customer and/or the Guarantor in any land, realty or asset in favour of the Seller and in the Customer’s and/or Guarantor‘s name as may be necessary to secure the said Customer’s and/or Guarantor’s obligations and indebtedness to the Seller and further to do and perform all necessary and other acts including instituting any ne y legal proceedings, and further to execute all or any documents in the Seller’s absolute discretion which may be necessary or advantageous to give effect to the provisions of this clause.

 

15. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

15.1 Where the Seller has designed or drawn designs for the Customer, then the copyright in those designs and drawings shall remain vested in the Seller, and shall only be used by the Customer at the Sellers’ discretion. The Customer warrants that all designs or specifications supplied to the Seller or instructions given to the Seller will not cause the Seller to infringe any patent, registered design or trademark in the execution of the Customer’s order. In the case of the Seller proposing original, creative ideas and concepts, these are all vested to the Seller and are strictly under a nondisclosure agreement with the Customer not to use anything for other purposes. Copyright belongs to the Seller until such time the Price is paid in full or is licenced.

15.2 Work must be original and creative to be copyrightable. Here, “Originality” simply means that the Seller (designer) created the work and did not copy it from someone else. If, by some incredible chance, two businesses independently created an identical or similar product, each work would be original and copyrightable. “Creative,” in the Copyright Office’s definition, means that the work has some minimal aesthetic qualities. Artistry of graphic design, especially when uncopyrightable elements are arranged to create a new design, all graphic design is copyrightable and owned by the Seller unless otherwise stated. In this case ideas, titles, names and short phrases are copyrightable because they contain sufficient amounts of expression, and ideas that are protected by an this Idea disclosure agreement, which expressly provides compensation if the idea is used by the Customer or Third Party to which it is submitted. All data on this website is subject to Copyright.

15.3 Configuration designs are automatically copyrighted if expressed in emails and quotes, which belong to the Seller unless otherwise stated in writing (IP or Copyright document).

15.4 The Seller, as the copyright owner, has the exclusive rights to reproduce work; license work; prepare derivative works, such as a poster copied from a design; perform work; and display work. However, the owner of a copy of the work can also display it. Anyone who violates these rights is an infringer whom the designer can sue for damages and prevent from continuing the infringement. If the Seller were to have trouble proving actual damages, which include the Seller’s losses and the infringer’s profits, the law provides for statutory damages that are awarded in the court’s discretion in the amount of $750 to $30,000 for each infringement. If the Seller can prove that the infringement was willful, the court, under the copyright law, can award up to $150,000 in statutory damages. Infringers will also be required to pay attorney’s fees. However, to be eligible for statutory damages and attorney’s fees, designs or other works must be registered with the Copyright Office prior to the commencement of the infringement. For newly published works, registration within three months of publication will be treated as having taken place on the publication date for purposes of eligibility for statutory damages and attorney’s fees. It should be noted that the copyright law defines publication as the distribution of a work to the public by sale, other transfer of ownership, rental, lease or lending. Offering to distribute copies for to a group of persons for further distribution or public display also constitutes publication. Exhibiting a work on the internet would also be a publication as is emailing a message containing any Work.

15.5 Transfers and terminations. The copyright law explicitly states that copyrights are separate from the physical design, such as a mechanical or, more recently, digital storage media. Selling the physical design would not transfer the copyright, because any copyright or any exclusive right of use of a copyright must always be transferred in a written instrument signed by the Seller. Only a non exclusive right can be transferred verbally, such as when the Seller licenses a design to one Customer, such as a wallpaper company, but doesn’t make the transfer exclusive so that it can also be licensed to another Customer, such as a place mat company. Both exclusive transfers of copyrights or parts of copyrights and non exclusive licenses of copyrights can be terminated by the Seller during a five-year period starting 35 years after the date of publication or 40 years after the date of execution of the transfer, whichever period ends earlier. This right of termination is an important right, but it does not apply to works for hire or transfers made by will.

15.6 Copyright duration. Sellers now have copyright as soon as a design is created—without putting a copyright notice on it or registering it with the Copyright Office. Copyrights created after January 1, 1978, as well as those already existing in works not published or registered, will last for the designer’s life plus 70 years. If the designer is an employee, the copyright term will be 95 years from the date of first publication or 120 years from the year of creation, whichever expires first. In this case, however, the design will belong to the employer, since it was created as a work-for-hire.

15.7 The Seller and all consequent Suppliers agrees not to license the design(s) or any images contained therein to competitors of the Customer.

15.8 For the purposes of this agreement, any sub-contractor, supplier, affiliated person and Customer agree to give full Copyright and IP ownership to the Seller’s owner.

15.9 Agreement to transfer Copyrights or IP may only be made to the Customer if the Price and any associated costs have been paid in full, and a professional Copyright or IP agreement has been entered into with a patent attorney.

15.10 Warranty of non-infringement is limited to “the best of our knowledge.“
Responsibility for ”Prior Art”, trademark and copyright search is solely the Customers.

15.11 It is agreed that all Works and Materials provided for The Customer by The Seller will be free and clear of all liens and encumbrances and may be lawfully used by The Customer without infringing upon the rights of others including, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any copyright trade secret patent or trade mark rights of any third party.

15.12 The use of design proposals submitted but not approved by The Customer for the work outlined is strictly forbidden. Until final payment, The Seller fully retains ownership of all works and website architecture. The Seller reserve the rights to certain elements used to create your images including fonts, patterns, stock images, textures, colour palettes and other non exclusive items. The Seller reserve the right to use stock images in the creation of designs if required.

15.13 Other than for the promotional use of The Seller all Services provided shall be for the exclusive use of The Client’s said purposes only. Designs may not be used for other promotional items, website or printed materials without permission. Upon payment of all invoices, reproduction rights for all approved final designs created by The Seller shall be outlined in the Project Proposal. For additional usage, price will be assessed as needed.

15.14 The Customer agrees to allow The Seller to place a small credit on printed material, exhibition displays, advertisements and/or The Seller own website or on the customer’s website. This will be in the form of a small logo or line of text placed towards the bottom of the page.

15.15 The Customer also agrees to allow The Seller to place websites and other designs, along with a link to the client’s site on The Seller’s own website for self promotional purposes.

 

16. ELECTRONIC IMAGES AND/OR FILES

16.1 It is the Customer’s responsibility to retain a copy of any electronic image or file supplied by the Customer to the Seller. The Seller is not responsible for accidental damage to any electronic material supplied and such material is held at the Customer’s risk. The Seller may charge for any additional translating or programming needed to utilise Customer files or images supplied and such charges shall be in addition to the quoted price. Upon such notice the rights of the editing or programming needed to utilise Customer supplied files or images and Customer to obtain ownership or any other interest in the Goods shall cease. Such charges shall be in addition to the estimated or quoted price. The Seller’s own electronic records and Master Files shall remain the property of the Seller and is subject to clause 15.

16.2 Sub-standard or corrupt files or work will not be published. Matching or swapping will occur and a Change Order may be issued to correct such works.

 

17. PRIVACY ACT 1993

(a) collect, retain and use any information about the Customer, for the purpose of assessing the Customers creditworthiness or marketing products and services; and

(b) to disclose information about the Customer, whether collected by the Seller from the Customer directly or obtained by the Seller from any other source, to any other credit provider or any legal or credit reporting agency for the purposes of providing or obtaining a credit reference, legal or debt collection or notifying a default by the Customer.

17.2 Where the Customer is a natural person the authorities under (clause 17.1) are authorities or consents for the purposes of the Privacy Act 1993.

18. CUSTOMERS DISCLAIMER

18.1 The Customer hereby disclaims any right to rescind, or cancel the contract or to sue for damages or to claim restitution arising out of any misrepresentation made to them by any servant or agent of the Seller and the Customer acknowledges that they buy the Goods or Services relying solely upon their own skill and judgement and that the Seller shall not be bound by nor responsible for any term, representation or warranty other than the warranty given in Clause 8, which shall be personal to the Customer and shall not be transferable to any subsequent Customer.

 

19. CONTRACTUAL REMEDIES ACT

19.1 The provisions of the Contractual Remedies Act 1979 shall apply to this contract as if section 15(d) of the Contractual Remedies Act which states that nothing in the Contractual Remedies Act shall affect the Sale of Goods Act 1908, were omitted from the Contractual Remedies Act 1979.

 

20. CONSUMER GUARANTEES ACT 1993
