HJllW MATTER 11. Defendant hereby incorporates Paragraphs 1-10 as if the averments were fully set forth herein. 12. Defendant is in the business of providing security systems for customers and monitoring them from a centr.al location. 13. Prior to finalizing the order for the UPS, Plaintiff visited the Defendant's premises on at least three occasions in order to determine what product would best suit Defendant's needs. 14. Plaintiff was awaro that the particular purpose of the UPS was to insure that the monitoring system at the central station never had to be shut down. If the monitoring system was shut down, -2- Defendant would not be able to monitor the electronic I!lo:lcurity systems for approximately 3,000 customers. 15. After t.he UPS waF.! installed, Underwriters Laboratory ("U/L") inspected the facility. 16. The UIL inspector told Defendant that unless a by-pass switch was added to the UPS, the monitoring system would have to be shut down periodically for inspection. The U/L inspector also informed Defendant that the UPS was smaller than it should be. 17. Defendant spoke with Plaintiff and told him about the problems with the UPS presented by the UIL inspector. 18. When Defendant learned that he needed a by-pass switch for the product to conform to Defendant's needs, Plaintiff offered to get one for the Defendant directly from the wholesale dealer. 19. Defendant purchased the by-pass switch from Plaintiff's wholesale dealer for $614.08. A copy of the check for the by-pass switch is attached hereto as Exhibit "B". Defendant also had to pay an installation fee of $264.70. A copy of the invoice for the installation is attached hereto as Exhibit "C". 20. As a result of the problems which arose because Plaintiff failed to supply the appropriate UPS, Plaintiff told Defendant to pay all but $695.72 of the remaining $5,564.72. The $695.72 represented the profit Plaintiff would have made on the transaction. 21. Defendant paid Plaintiff the remaining balance with the exception of $695.72, as per Plaintiff's instructions. -3- WHIRI'ORII, Defendant demands judgment against Plaintiff in an amount not in excess of $25,000 together with interest and costs. ~!Jl:rlI~ 22. Defendant hereby incorporates Paragraphs 1-21 as if the averments are fully set forth herein. 23. Plaintiff visit.ed Defendant's premises on several occasions and knew that the UPS was intended to prevent the monitoring system f.rom having to be shut down. If the monitoring system was shut down, Defendant would not be able to monitor the electronic security systems for approximately 3,000 customers. 24. Defendant relied upon Plaintiff's skill and judgment in being able to provide the UPS which would satisfy Defendant's business purposes. 25. The UPS sold by Plaintiff to Defendant was not fit for it.s intended purpose as it was smaller than it should have been and Defendant was forced to expend $878.78 to purchase and install a by-pass switch to prevent the monitoring system from having to be shut down. 26. Because the UPS was not fit for its intended purpose, Plaintiff breached the contract with Defendant. 27. As a reault of Plaintiff's breach of the contract, Plaintiff should be compelled to return to Defendant the sum paid for the UPS in the amount of $6,259.00. -4- i . ". ,- W. B.
