Exercise 7 a) Read and translate the dialogue ‘Discussing the guarantee period’.

Brown: Good morning, Mr. Pavlov. Very glad to see you again.

Pavlov: Good morning, Mr. Brown.

B: Mr. Pavlov, the matter I’d like to bring up today is the guarantee period. I know it is 12 months from the date of putting the pumps into operation, but not more than 18 months from the delivery date.

P: That’s right.

B: Well, I find it rather short. We’d like it to be extended by two and three months respectively, as the usual guarantee period for this type of equipment is longer.

P: Now, look. Model LS is of a new design and only a small number of units have been manufactured so far. Although we have good reports about their performance we can’t formally guarantee their reliability for a longer period.

B: I see. But, Mr. Pavlov, I believe the contract will specify that if any defects are found during the guarantee period you are to correct them promptly and at your expense.

P: Yes this is our usual obligation, but of course we do that only if we are responsible for the defects, if they appear through our fault.

B: This seems reasonable. Let’s consider one more possibility. Suppose we would like some faulty parts to be replaced, on what terms will you deliver the replacements?

P: We’ll try to supply them immediately and pay the cost of their insurance and transport. Will that suit you?

B: Quite.

P: By the way, if you want special service visits of our engineer to be arranged after the guarantee period, we can always do that.

B: Shall we have to pay for such visits?

P: Yes. You should authorize such visits and pay the engineer’s fare to and in Ukraine, hotel expenses and the cost of each job he will do.

B: Thank you. I’ll have to look into the matter. Could we meet on Thursday, say, at 12?

P: Let’s make it at 2 if you don’t mind. I have an appointment at 12 which I don’t want to break.

B: Very good.
