Installation is to take place in two weeks. He leaves a $200 (cash) deposit. The company calls to deliver and install the unit and arrangements are made over the phone for installation on January 15, 1999. During a test of the installed unit the system fails. The customer tells the Weir Vacuum representative that he is no longer interested in the unit because it failed and demands his money back. The service representative leaves behind the unit and tells the customer he will report back after talking to his manager.
