Legal Question in Product Liability in Colorado

Contract Validity

I own a print shop and signed a 4 year lease on a color copy machine that I was told by the salesman would print business cards, booklet covers, glossy paper, etc. After signing the lease and using the machine for 3 months it began to have problems. I was then informed by the repairman that the machine cannot accept the paper we were attempting to feed through it. We were refunded some maintenance fees to help the situation, but almost 2 years into the lease we are still unable to use the machine for the purposes we require. The leasing company said the lease was unbreakable. The company that sold it to us said they probably cannot find someone to take over the lease. Do we have any way to nullify the lease since it was signed after being given faulty information?

Re: Contract Validity

Yes. any contract, including an equipment lease agreement, is subject to basic implied warranties, especially to be suitable for intended purpose. Thus, if the leasing company at issue, misled you or simply supplied you with an unfit product, you are well within your rights to take action here and prevail. if you would like further assistance in this matter, contact us directly.
