Placing orders Buyers within the UK can place orders by fax or e-mail to our sales team, whose contact details are: (fax) 01709 533 429 or uk.sales@pyronix.com or by such other methods of placing orders as we make available to you from time to time. Buyers outside the UK can place orders through the website (www.pyronix.com) or e-mail to our sales team, whose contact details are export.sales@pyronix.com Orders from, and quotations provided to Buyers are not binding on Pyronix and a contract will only come into being on the demonstration of acceptance of the order by Pyronix dispatching all or part of it. These terms and conditions and any written variations agreed by Pyronix, together with an accepted order constitutes the entire agreement between the parties. The Buyer acknowledges that it has not relied on any statement, promise, representation, assurance or warranty made or given by or on behalf of Pyronix which is not set out in this contract. These terms and conditions apply to the exclusion of any other terms that the Buyer seeks to impose or incorporate, or which are implied by trade, custom, practice or course of dealing. Quotations given by Pyronix shall remain open for orders to be placed on them for a period of 30 days from the date of the quotation, unless in the quotation some other period is specified and unless the quotation is withdrawn by Pyronix. Any samples, drawings, descriptive matter, or advertising produced by Pyronix and any descriptions or illustrations contained in the Pyronix catalogues, brochures and websites are produced for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the goods described in them. They shall not form part of any contract for the supply of those goods or have any contractual force. These conditions apply to services provided by Pyronix in the same way as they apply to goods supplied by Pyronix. Prices Goods or services are sold to Buyers by reference to the price list made available by Pyronix to that Buyer current at the date the order is placed (and in the currency or currencies specified in that price list), unless Pyronix has separately provided a quotation, in which case that will take precedence. Note that each price list is only valid: For the Buyer that Pyronix has provided access to it; In the currency specified in it; Until it is withdrawn or superseded by Pyronix; and Is subject to the payment terms agreed between Pyronix and that Buyer; Where a price list is to be withdrawn or updated, Pyronix tries to give reasonable advance notice of any changes. However, while this is frequently between 1 and 3 months for the domestic UK market, this can be substantially less for international Buyers, where prices may need to be revised due to changes in exchange rates. All goods are sold “ex works” unless we agree otherwise. If Pyronix arranges or undertakes the carriage, freight, insurance and any other transport, the Buyer agrees: To bear those additional costs; and It does not affect the passing of risk in the ordered goods to the Buyer under these terms. The price lists are exclusive of any Value Added Tax or other tax, duty or charge relating to the transportation, insurance, delivery, export or import of the goods or performance of the services (whether initially charged on or payable by Pyronix or the Buyer). Any such additional costs are to be borne by the Buyer and will be added to the price as appropriate. Terms of Payment Unless expressly agreed in writing payment shall be made without any deduction or set off or deferment on account of any disputes or cross claims whatsoever within any time period agreed between Pyronix and the Buyer following the date of the invoice for the goods. Where full payment is not received by the due date interest shall accrue on the sum outstanding at the rate of 3 per cent per month calculated on a daily basis but without prejudice to the rights of Pyronix to receive payment on the due date. Time for payment shall be of the essence and in the event of delay or default in any payment of more than 7 days or where genuine doubts arise as to the Buyer’s financial position Pyronix may suspend both work and deliveries both on the same order and on any other order from the Buyer and/or treat a contract as repudiated and/or resell any of the goods in its possession and be indemnified by the Buyer for any loss thereby incurred, without prejudice to any other right Pyronix may have. Pyronix may at any time appropriate sums received from the Buyer as it thinks fit notwithstanding any purported appropriation of the Buyer. Risk in and Title to Goods Where Pyronix have organised the delivery of a customer order, it is the responsibility of the Buyer to advise Pyronix of any product damages or discrepancies within two working days of receipt of goods, this will be via email to uk.sales@pyronix.com. Reports of damages or discrepancies are advised after two working days, it will be assumed that this occurred after delivery and will become the responsibility of the Buyer. Where the Buyer has organised the collection of an order, the risk in the goods shall pass directly to the Buyer on departure from Pyronix’s facility and the Buyer will be wholly responsible for any damages or discrepancies which occur during transit. Title to the goods shall not pass to the Buyer until the earlier of: Pyronix receives payment in full (in cash or cleared funds) for the goods and any other goods that Pyronix has supplied to the Buyer in respect of which payment has become due, in which case title to the goods shall pass at the time of payment of all such sums; and The Buyer resells the goods, in which case title to the goods shall pass to the Buyer at the time specified in clause 4.4. Until title to the goods has passed to the Buyer, the Buyer shall: Store the goods separately from all other goods held by the Buyer so that they remain readily identifiable as Pyronix’s property; All goods should be sold on a FIFO (first in / first out) basis Buyers should not remove, deface or obscure any identifying mark or packaging on or relating to the goods and should; Maintain the goods in satisfactory condition and keep them insured against all risks for their full price from the date of dispatch from Pyronix’s facility; Notify Pyronix immediately if it becomes subject to any of the events listed in clause 8.2; and Give Pyronix such information relating to the goods as Pyronix may require from time to time. Subject to clause 4.5, the Buyer may resell or use the goods in the ordinary course of its business (but not otherwise) before Pyronix receives payment for the goods. However, if the Buyer resells the goods before that time: It does so as principal and not as Pyronix’s agent; and Title to the goods shall pass from Pyronix to the Buyer immediately before the time at which resale by the Buyer occurs. If before title to the goods passes to the Buyer the Buyer becomes subject to any of the events listed in clause 8.2, then, without limiting any other right or remedy Pyronix may have: The Buyer’s right to resell the goods or use them in the ordinary course of its business ceases immediately; and Pyronix may at any time: require the Buyer to deliver up all goods in its possession which have not been resold, or irrevocably incorporated into another product; and if the Buyer fails to do so promptly, enter any premises of the Buyer or of any third party where the goods are stored in order to recover them. WARRANTY Pyronix warrants that on delivery, and for the period specified on the batch label relating to the product supplied (“warranty period”), the goods shall conform in all material respects with their description and shall be free from material defects in design, material and workmanship. Subject to clause 5.3, if: the Buyer gives notice in writing to Pyronix during the warranty period within a reasonable time of discovery that some or all of the goods do not comply with the warranty set out in clause 5.1.; Pyronix is given a reasonable opportunity of examining such goods; and the Buyer returns such goods to Pyronix’s place of business at the Buyer’s cost, following the guidelines of the latest version of the Pyronix Returns Procedure, available on the Pyronix website. The Buyer must complete a Warranty Returns Form and return the form to warranty.returns@pyronix.com. All warranty return parts must be received by Pyronix no later than 30 days from notice received from the Buyer, parts received after 30 days will be returned to the Buyer or disposed. Pyronix shall, at its option, repair or replace any such goods (other than consumable items) found to be defective as a result of faulty materials or workmanship within the warranty period or refund the price of such goods in full. A claim under warranty in respect of any delivery or instalment of any order or any part thereof shall not entitle the Buyer to cancel or refuse delivery of or payment for any other order, delivery or instalment or any part of the same order, delivery or instalment. DELIVERY If Pyronix fails to make goods available at its premises, its liability shall be limited to the costs and expenses incurred by the Buyer in obtaining replacement goods of similar description and quality in the cheapest market available, less the price of the goods. Pyronix shall have no liability for any failure to deliver the goods to the extent that such failure is caused by a Force Majeure Event. Pyronix shall ensure that each delivery of the goods is accompanied by a delivery note which may include the date of the Order, all relevant Buyer and Supplier reference numbers, the type and quantity of the goods (including the code number of the goods, where applicable), special storage instructions (if any) and, if the Order is being delivered by instalments, the outstanding balance of goods remaining to be delivered. The contents of the delivery note may change from time to time. Pyronix shall (as the Buyer’s agent) arrange for the shipment of goods (at the Buyer’s risk and expense) to the location set out in the order acknowledgement or order confirmation, or such other location as the parties may agree (“Delivery Location”) at any time after Pyronix notifies the Buyer that the goods are ready. The Buyer shall be responsible for arranging the testing in accordance with clause 10 and inspection of the goods at the premises of Pyronix before shipment. Pyronix shall have no liability for any claim in respect of any defect in the goods which would be apparent on inspection and which is made after shipment, or in respect of any damage during transit. Unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Buyer and Pyronix, Pyronix shall be under no obligation to give notice under Section 32(3) of the Sale of Goods Act 1979. The Buyer shall be responsible for complying with any legislation or regulations governing the importation of the goods into any other country and for the payment of any duties thereon. If the Buyer fails to accept delivery of the goods within a week of Pyronix notifying the Buyer that the goods are ready, then, except where such failure or delay is caused by a Force Majeure Event or any failure by Pyronix to comply with its obligations under a contract: delivery of the goods shall be deemed to have been completed at 9.00 am local time at the relevant Pyronix facility on the seventh day after the day on which Pyronix notified the Buyer that the goods were ready; and Pyronix shall store the goods until delivery takes place, and charge the Buyer for all related costs and expenses (including insurance). If 14 days after the day on which Pyronix notified the Buyer that the goods were ready for delivery the Buyer has not accepted delivery of them, then notwithstanding clause 6.7.2. above Pyronix may resell or otherwise dispose of part or all of the goods. The Buyer shall not be entitled to reject the goods if Pyronix delivers up to and including 5% more or less than the quantity of goods ordered. Similarly, gauges, weights, chemical composition and analysis, quantities and sizes will so far as possible be adhered to but reasonable excesses and deficiencies thereof shall be accepted by the Buyer, who shall only be entitled to reject any goods or to require replacement of any goods if they materially vary from the goods ordered. Pyronix may deliver the goods by instalments, which shall be invoiced and paid for separately. Each instalment shall constitute a separate contract. Any delay in delivery or defect in an instalment shall not entitle the Buyer to cancel any other instalment.
