    The court held that valid contracts existed by the parties' conduct and acceptance; Clause 3 of the maintenance agreement covered spare parts including the Car Position Indicator; replacement was not practicable because the original manufacturer had ceased production and Clause 5 excluded liability for causes beyond plaintiff's control; the lift remained operational on the evidence and defendant failed to prove loss or causation, therefore the plaintiff proved its claim for unpaid maintenance charges and the defendant's counterclaim failed.
