Terms and Conditions of Sale

1. AUTHORISED DEALER 

It is a matter for Prowler Proof in its discretion whether it approves of a trade account customer as an authorised dealer or not. An approval relates to each specific Job. Approval for one Job should not be taken as approval for any other Job. Acceptance by Prowler Proof of a Job as set out below will only constitute a person as an authorised dealer for that Job. Prowler Proof will not sell to trade accounts who are not current financial members of the National Security Screen Assocation (NSSA).
