Contract of sale terms and conditions changes

On consultation with solicitors c9 engages to create T&C's on vehicle sales, new T&C's are included in this version of c9 for QLD, NSW, VIC, SA & NT

All T&Cs have a new clause added as per below to contend with current climate of significantly delayed supply + steadily increasing costs.

Importing Part variants as part of price file updates

Some suppliers provide some good data on variations, such as size and colour information. Especially useful for apparel & armor, boots/helmets etc.  C9 can now automatically grab this data as part of price file updates. Price files in repo will now encode this information.

To date this has only really being useful for websites. But variation info is now also merged into alernatives.

Initially implemented with a couple of suppliers (Fox and Monza). We will assess repo price files one at a time as we process them to see if we can extract anything useful from other suppliers.

Example screen grab. Key in a monza part number in point of sale. e.g. AS201201497914

Symbol next to part indicates it has variants / alternatives. For variant only parts the symbol is red, if part has alternatives the original blue symbol is visible.

Press f7 and you'll see the lot.

Alternatively on website, variants are selectable for customers to fine tune what they want.
