Members' Code of Ethics
Members agree
as follows :
1. To honour completely and sincerely all contracts and agreements in
which they engage both in buying and selling, particularly where terms
of payment have been mutually agreed.
2. To describe and represent the machines they offer to the best of
their ability as to:
Ø Serial and model numbers
Ø Condition
Ø Specification and accessories
3. When offering machinery to which they do not have clear title,
they will endeavour to establish and advise the prospective buyer of
any relevant circumstances which could affect the sale.
4. When machines are sold with a guarantee and are proved to be
defective (other than through the buyer's own actions) they will use
their utmost endeavours to rectify the complaint.
5. To honour every option and/or first refusal both as to price and
date.
6. To accept that in the event of a member knowingly and
deliberately violating or committing a breach of the above Code, (of
which the Association's Council shall be sole judge) then, should
Council so resolve, he will be suspended as a Member. The General
Meeting can declare the expulsion of a member.
7. Members accept that there may be instances not covered by the
above code, where the Association must consider whether a Member has
brought its good name into disrepute by failure to honour the precept
of mutual trust implied by Membership; and that the Association's
Council must then determine appropriate remedies, including specific
warning or, ultimately, expulsion from Membership, in order both to
correct the instance and to prevent its recurrence.
