Orders All orders placed with the Company by the Customer for Goods shall constitute an offer to the Company, under the terms and conditions of this Contract, subject to availability of the products and to acceptance of the order by the Company’s authorised representative. All orders are accepted and the Goods supplied subject to the express terms and conditions of this Contract only. The Company may at anytime amend this Contract by sending it in writing or posting it on the Company Website. The amended Contract shall apply to any orders placed by the Customer. It is agreed that the terms and conditions of this contract (or any amendments to them) prevail over the Customers terms and Conditions of purchase unless these latter terms and conditions are amended by the Company in writing and signed by the Company. The Customer cannot rely on statements made before signature of the Contract unless made by the Company’s authorised representative and either: it is expressly stated by the customer that the statement is to be relied upon; and it is reproduced in a letter to the Customer and not withdrawn before the contract is made. On receipt of the Customer’s order the Company will send the Customer a Pro-Forma Invoice detailing the Goods ordered. This Pro-Forma Invoice is not an order confirmation or acceptance of order by the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall be at liberty to refuse to accept any order placed by the Customer for any reason whatsoever. No order placed shall become a purchase contract, and therefore binding the company, until the goods have been dispatched to the Customer in accordance with clause 4 below. Nothing in this contract affects or limits the party’s liability for fraudulent misrepresentation. Customer Relationship The relationship between the Company and the Customer is that of independent contractor. Neither party is the agent of the other, and neither party has any authority to make any contract or to impose any obligation on the other party without their express permission. Delivery Any date or time quoted for delivery of the Goods is to be treated as an estimate only. Delivery may be postponed because of conditions beyond the Company’s reasonable control, and in no event shall the Company be liable for any damages or penalty for delay in dispatch or delivery of the Goods. Risk shall pass to the Customer at the time the Goods delivered according to the Inco terms effective for the transaction. At the time of delivery the Customer must check that the quantity of the Goods matches the quantity set out on the Proof of Delivery and that the exterior of the Goods are in good condition. The Customer must then indicate this on the Proof of Delivery and sign the Proof of Delivery accordingly. If an over shipment of Goods has occurred the Customer must also notify the Company as soon as possible and in any event within 24 hours of the delivery. The customer must not sign the proof of Delivery “unchecked” or “unexamined” or any such similar wording. A signed proof of Delivery by or on behalf of the Customer shall be conclusive evidence of delivery and (except to the extent that any damage or discrepancy is noted on the Proof of Delivery) that the Goods were received in good order and condition and accordingly no claims shall be bought in respect of the delivery to the contrary. The Customer must inspect the Goods immediately after delivery is complete. If any Goods are damaged (or not delivered), the Customer must notify the Company within 24 hours of the delivery or expected delivery. If Proof of Delivery is required, this must be requested within 3 working days of the date of the invoice. The Company may deliver the Goods in instalments. Each instalment is treated as a separate delivery. Goods will be supplied under DDP Inco terms 2010 where the country of destination is inside the EU and will be supplied DAP port/airport country of destination Inco terms 2010 to all other countries of destination. Cancellation and Rescheduling Unless otherwise agreed in writing, any request by the Customer for cancellation of any order or for the rescheduling of any deliveries will only be considered by the Company if made at least 12 hours before dispatch of the Goods, and shall be subject to acceptance by the Company at the Company’s sole discretion, and subject to a reasonable administration charge. The Customer hereby agrees to indemnify the Company against losses, costs (including the cost of labour and materials used and overheads incurred), damages, charges and expenses arising out of the order and its cancellation or rescheduling. Price and Payment Catalogues, price lists and other advertising literature or material as used by the Company are intended only as an indication as to the price and range of the Goods offered and no prices, descriptions or other particulars contained within shall be binding on the Company. All prices are given by the company at the time of the order on an ex-works basis and the Customer is liable to pay for the transport, packing and insurance costs, unless stated different at the time of order. All quoted or listed prices are based on the cost to the Company of supplying the Goods to the Customer. While the Company tries to ensure that all prices are accurate, errors may occur. If prior to delivery of the Goods, the Company discovers an error in the price of the Goods ordered, or the price changes as a result of circumstances beyond the Company’s control, the Company may change the Good’s price and such changes shall apply to any purchase order placed with the Company. All prices are represented in Sterling Pounds, Euros or US Dollars and are exclusive of Value Added tax and/or any similar taxes. All such taxes are payable by the Customer and will be levied in accordance with UK legislation in force at the tax-point date. Invoices will be raised by the Company on the date the order is placed by the Customer. Unless otherwise specifically requested and agreed in writing by the Company, invoices will be payable by the Customer upon receipt of Goods by same day instant payment method, unless otherwise stated by the Company upon the Invoice. The time of the Payment shall be the essence of the Contract. Payments which are not received in full by the due-date, will be considered overdue and remain payable by the Customer together with the interest for late payment and reasonable debt recovery costs. The interest payment will be at a rate equivalent to that set for the purposes of s6 of the late Payment of Commercial Debts (interest) Act 1998, calculated on a daily basis from the date of invoice until payment; such interest to be compounded on the first day of each calendar month and payable both before and after any judgment (unless the court orders otherwise). The Customer must notify the Company in writing within 24 hours of the date of invoice of any errors within the invoice. Failure will result in the Company assuming acceptance of the invoice in full. Should Credit facilities be provided the Customer undertakes to notify the Company without delay of any material change in its finances, structure, share ownership and/or value of assets which may affect the Customer’s credit status. In addition to any remedy available at law failure to report any such changes may result in credit being withdrawn without prior notice. The Customer does not have the right to set off any money claimable from the Company against sums owing to the Company by the Customer. If Goods are delivered in instalments the Company shall be entitled to invoice each instalment upon delivery. The Company will claim a lien on any Customers property in the Company’s possession if the Customer is in debt to the Company. Until the Customer pays all debts to the Company: all Goods that have been purchased by the Customer from the Company will remain the property of the Company; all Goods that have been Purchased by the Customer from the Company must be stored so that they are clearly identifiable as the property of the Company; and the Customer must Insure all such Goods. The customer shall have the right to sell the Goods in the ordinary course of business unless, or until; the Customer becomes or is deemed to be insolvent in accordance with clause 13.2 herein the aforementioned circumstance occurs then the right to sell the Goods will be revoked with immediate effect and without the Company being required to give notice, or the Company revokes the right to sell Goods in the ordinary course of business by informing the Customer in writing (including email or fax), revocation will then have immediate effect. If the Customer’s right to use and sell the Goods in the ordinary course of business ends, the Customer must permit the Company to reclaim the Goods. The Customer agrees to give the Company permission to enter any premises where the Goods are stored: at anytime to inspect them and to remove them (using reasonable force if necessary) after the Customer’s right to use or sell them has finished. Despite the Company’s retention of title to the Goods the Company reserves the right to take legal proceedings to recover the cost of Goods supplied should the Customer not make full payment by the invoice due date. The Customer is not entitled to Pledge or in any way charge by way of security for any indebtedness any of the Goods which remain the property of the Company. Should the Customer do so, all monies owing by the Customer to the Company shall without prejudice to any other rights or remedies of the Company immediately become due and payable.
