7. Specifications

Whilst all descriptions, specifications, drawings and illustrations are supplied in good faith they are only intended for guidance purposes and the Company will accept no responsibility whatsoever for any errors, omissions, loss or damage from the Purchasers reliance on such descriptions, drawings and illustrations. Further, the Company reserves the right to amend such descriptions, specifications, drawings and illustrations without notice. The Company provides no warranty, and it shall not be implied, whether through any description or otherwise, that any Goods conform to or are suitable for any specific purpose, unless written confirmation of such a warranty as to suitability of the goods for purpose addresses specific goods and the Purchaser. The Company may recommend to the Purchaser, specific Goods. These recommendations are based solely upon the information received by the Company from the Purchaser. Therefore, any recommendations by the Company to the Purchaser in relation to any Goods shall be provided only as an opinion, and shall not be construed as an express or implied warranty as to any recommendation given, unless written confirmation of a warranty to that effect is provided by the Company to the Purchaser and the Purchaser is referred to the clause immediately preceding this. The suitability of specific goods for use is ultimately the decision of the Purchaser based solely upon the knowledge of the Purchaser.

5. Prices

Unless otherwise agreed in writing the price to be paid will be deemed to have been stated in the Quotation provided that the Quotation is accepted within 30 days of issue and delivery is affected within a further 14 days. Otherwise, the Company may, at its discretion, vary the price by addition upwards to reflect market conditions, labour, material and transportation costs. All prices exclude VAT unless otherwise stated.

6. Errors

The Company sells a large number of Goods through the website. It is always possible that, despite our reasonable efforts, some of the Goods on our site may be incorrectly priced or a product may have been removed from the site, but the website is not updated. If the Company discovers an error with the Goods the Purchaser has ordered, the Company will contact the Purchaser in writing to inform of this error and if it is a pricing error the Company will give the Purchaser the option of continuing to purchase the Goods at the correct price or cancelling the order. The Company will not process the order until we have your instructions. If the Company is unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, the Company will treat the order as cancelled and notify the Purchaser in writing. If the Company mistakenly accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, the Company may cancel supply of the Goods and refund any sums the Purchaser has paid. The Company reserves the right to amend the specification of the Goods if any approval against the goods is removed or required by any applicable statutory or regulatory requirement.

8. Delivery

  1. Delivery periods are given in good faith and are based on the date of receipt of order. Whilst we will make every reasonable effort to meet the delivery requirements, we will not be liable for any failure to do so, nor for any consequential loss of any kind arising from late delivery.

  2. Deliveries will be made to the destination specified on your order provided this is clearly indicated.

  3. Unless otherwise agreed the cost of carriage will be chargeable to the Purchaser. Where the Purchaser requests the Company to deliver goods within a timescale which is shorter than that covered by the Company’s quoted delivery costs then the Company reserves the right to vary the price by addition upwards to reflect additional costs incurred.

  4. Unless otherwise agreed the offloading and safe storage of delivered goods are the sole responsibility of the Purchaser. Where the Purchaser requests the Company to provide off-loading facilities then such facilities will be deemed to be chargeable to reflect the additional costs incurred.

  5. After delivery, the goods are expressly held by the Purchaser at his own risk. The Purchaser undertakes, following delivery to maintain the goods in the predelivery condition and to insure the goods to their full value and against all risks until such time as payment and the title passes.

  6. The Company reserves the right to levy additional charges against the Purchaser, to cover storage, fire insurance or other costs incurred by us, in the event that the goods are held beyond a reasonable period of time or should forward instructions to be withheld.

  7. Time of delivery is not of the essence.

9. Terms of Payment

  1. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, and only for approved accounts, all goods will be invoiced on despatch for payment at the end of month following the date of invoice.
  2. Where an approved account is not established or where the total order value, excluding delivery, is less than £50.00 then, at its discretion, the Company may seek payment prior to delivery using a debit card or credit card. We accept the majority of debit and credit cards, a full list is available upon request.
  3. Time for payment shall be of the essence of the contract without prejudice to any other rights of the Company. If the Purchaser fails to pay the invoice on the due date, the Company reserves the right to claim interest, compensation and reasonable costs under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 (Act) (whether before or after judgement). Any reference to the Act is also a reference to any amendment, modification or re-enactment of it. If for any reason the Act does not apply interest shall be payable on overdue amounts on a daily basis at 8% per annum over the base rate quoted from time to time but at 8% a year for any period when that base rate is below 0% by the HSBC Bank plc and reimburse to the Company all costs and expenses, including legal costs, in the collection of any overdue amount.

10. Passing of Property and Risk

The risk in the Goods shall pass to the Purchaser on completion of delivery. Title to the Goods shall not pass to the Purchaser until the Company has received payment in full (in cash or cleared funds) for:

  1. the Goods; and
  2. any other Goods that the Company has supplied to the Purchaser in respect of which payment has become due. Until title to the Goods has passed to the Purchaser,

the Purchaser shall:

  1. hold the Goods on a fiduciary basis as bailee for the Company;
  2. store the Goods separately from all other goods held by the purchaser so that they remain readily identifiable as the Company’s property;
  3. not remove, deface or obscure any identifying mark or packaging relating to the Company;

  8. the Purchaser may resell or use the Goods in the ordinary course of its business
  9. if before title to the Goods passes to the Purchaser:
    • the Purchaser’s financial position deteriorates to such an extent that in the Company’s opinion the Purchaser’s capability to adequately fulfil its obligations under the Contract has been placed in jeopardy: or
    • the Purchaser is served with a Statutory Demand or any other action involved in the insolvency of the Purchaser, or the Company reasonably believes that any such event is about to happen and notifies the Purchaser accordingly then provided that the Goods haven not been resold then, without limiting any other right or remedy the Company may have:
      • the Purchaser’s right to resell the Goods or use them in the ordinary course of its business ceases immediately; and
      • the Company may at any time:
        • require the Purchaser to deliver up all Goods in its possession that have not been resold, or irrevocably incorporated into another product; and
        • if the Purchaser fails to do so promptly, enter any premises of the Purchaser or of any third party where the Goods are stored in order to recover them.

12. Returned Goods

Any Goods returned to the Company for any reason other than faulty condition will only be accepted with the prior written agreement of the Company. Where such agreement exists then the Purchaser will be responsible for the cost of safe packing and delivery of Goods including adequate insurance against damage and loss. Where such Goods are returned to the Company by agreement and provided that the Goods are received in a condition which is consistent with the condition on despatch then a credit will be issued to the value of the returned Goods less any restocking charge of not less than 15% of the invoice value of the Goods subsequently returned.

13. Fitness for Purpose
