2. Basis of contract
2.1 These Conditions apply to the Contract to the exclusion of any other terms that the Customer seeks to impose or incorporate, or which are implied by trade, custom, practice or course of dealing. The Customer waives any right it might otherwise have to rely on any term endorsed upon, delivered with or contained in any documents of the Customer that is inconsistent with these Conditions.

2.2 The Order constitutes an offer by the Customer to purchase the Goods in accordance with these Conditions. The Customer is responsible for ensuring that the terms of the Order and any applicable Specification are complete and accurate.

2.3 The Order shall only be deemed to be accepted when the Supplier issues a written acceptance of the Order or performs the Contract by effecting delivery of the Goods, at which point the Contract shall come into existence.

2.4 The Contract constitutes the entire agreement between the parties. The Customer acknowledges that it has not relied on any statement, promise or representation made or given by or on behalf of the Supplier which is not set out in the Contract.

2.5 Any samples, drawings, descriptive matter, or advertising produced by the Supplier and any descriptions or illustrations contained in the Supplier’s catalogues or brochures are produced for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the Goods described in them. They shall not form part of the Contract or have any contractual force.

3. Goods
3.1 The Goods shall be as described in the Specification. The Customer agrees that it is the Customer’s responsibility to examine, sample and test the Goods (at its own cost) prior to purchase and accordingly any warranty that the Goods are of satisfactory quality is expressly excluded.

3.2 The Supplier also reserves the right to substitute a functional equivalent of the Goods where necessary and shall charge the list price of the substitute goods. Where the Supplier has substituted the Goods, the Customer must notify the Supplier in writing within 5 days of delivery if it wishes to reject the substitute Goods and receive a refund of the price. The Customer must ensure that any rejected substitute Goods are returned to the Supplier in the original packaging and in a good saleable condition.

4.1 The Supplier shall ensure that:

4.1.1 each delivery of the Goods is accompanied by a delivery note which shows the date of the Order, all relevant Customer and Supplier reference numbers, the type and quantity of the Goods (including the code number of the Goods, where applicable), and special storage instructions (if any); and
4.1.2 if the Supplier requires the Customer to return any packaging materials to the Supplier, that fact is clearly stated on the delivery note. The Customer shall make any such packaging materials available for collection at such times as the Supplier shall reasonably request. Returns of packaging materials shall be at the Supplier’s expense.
4.2 The Supplier shall deliver the Goods to the location set out in the Order or such other location as the parties may agree (Delivery Location) at any time after the Supplier notifies the Customer that the Goods are ready. Delivery of the Goods shall be completed on the Goods’ arrival at the Delivery Location.

4.3 Any dates quoted for delivery are approximate only, and the time of delivery is not of the essence. If the Supplier fails to deliver the Goods, its liability shall be limited to the costs and expenses incurred by the Customer in obtaining replacement goods of similar description and quality in the cheapest market available, less the price of the Goods. Without prejudice to the foregoing, the Supplier shall have no liability for any failure to deliver the Goods to the extent that such failure is caused by a Force Majeure Event or the Customer’s failure to provide the Supplier with adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the Goods.

4.4 Any Orders required to be delivered on a specific date shall be notified to the Supplier at least 4 Business Days in advance of the required delivery date and such Orders may be subject to surcharges as notified to the Customer in advance.

4.5 If the Customer fails to accept delivery of the Goods within three Business Days of the Supplier notifying the Customer that the Goods are ready, then, except where such failure or delay is caused by a Force Majeure Event or the Supplier’s failure to comply with its obligations under the Contract:

4.5.1 delivery of the Goods shall be deemed to have been completed at 9.00 am on the third Business Day after the day on which the Supplier notified the Customer that the Goods were ready; and

5. Quality
5.1 The Supplier’s warranties and the Customer’s remedies will be as set out in the General Warranty Terms.

5.2 For the avoidance of doubt, the Supplier shall not be liable for any defects in the Goods, and the General Warranty Terms shall not apply, to the extent the defect arises as a result of the Supplier following any drawing, design or Specification supplied by the Customer.

5.3 The Customer shall not accept delivery of the Goods where any defects are apparent on delivery and any omissions shall be notified in writing to the Supplier immediately.

5.4 The Customer shall notify the Supplier in writing of any transit damage caused by the carrier which may be ascertainable by reasonable inspection (including removal of packaging) within 5 days of delivery.

5.5 In respect of any omissions the Supplier shall, at its option, replace the shortage or cancel the missing part of the Order and credit to the Customer the price of the cancelled Goods.

5.6 Except as provided in this clause 5, the Supplier shall have no liability to the Customer in respect of any damage caused in transit or delivery shortages.

5.7 Except as set out in these Conditions, all warranties, conditions and other terms implied by statute or common law are, to the fullest extent permitted by law, excluded from the Contract.

5.8 These Conditions shall apply to any repaired or replacement Goods supplied by the Supplier.

6.1 Except in the case of any faulty or defective Goods, or substitute Goods supplied under clause 3.2, the Customer shall only be permitted to return the Goods to the Supplier at the Supplier’s sole discretion and in accordance with this clause 6.

6.2 Goods shall not be returned to the Supplier unless agreed by the Supplier, in which case the Supplier will issue a “Return Authorisation Number” which should be displayed clearly on the outside of any returned package.

6.3 Returned Goods shall not be accepted by the Supplier unless a Returns Authorisation Number has been previously issued and the Goods are (in the Supplier’s reasonable opinion) in a good and saleable condition and (where applicable) returned in their original packaging. Goods are returned at the Customer’s cost and are subject to a handling charge equivalent to 5% of the price of the Goods.

7. Title and risk
7.1 The risk in the Goods shall pass to the Customer on completion of delivery.

7.2 Title to the Goods shall not pass to the Customer until the Supplier has received payment in full (in cash or cleared funds) for the Goods and any other goods or services that the Supplier has supplied to the Customer.

7.3 Until title to the Goods has passed to the Customer, the Customer shall:

7.3.1 hold the Goods on a fiduciary basis as the Supplier’s bailee;
7.3.2 store the Goods separately from all other goods held by the Customer so that they remain readily identifiable as the Supplier’s property;
7.3.3 not remove, deface or obscure any identifying mark or packaging on or relating to the Goods;
7.3.4 maintain the Goods in satisfactory condition and keep them insured against all risks for their full price from the date of delivery;
7.3.5 notify the Supplier immediately if it becomes subject to any of the events listed in clause 10.2; and
7.3.6 give the Supplier such information relating to the Goods as the Supplier may require from time to time.
7.4 Notwithstanding the provisions of clause 7.3, the Customer may resell or has the right to dispose of the Goods in the ordinary course of its business on a bona fide sale without notice to its customer of the Supplier’s rights hereunder.

7.5 The entire proceeds of the disposal of the Goods under clause 7.4 shall be held in trust for the Supplier until payment in full for the Goods is received by the Supplier.

7.6 If before title to the Goods passes to the Customer the Customer becomes subject to any of the events listed in clause 10.2, or the Supplier reasonably believes that any such event is about to happen, then, provided that the Goods have not been resold, or irrevocably incorporated into another product, and without limiting any other right or remedy the Supplier may have, the Supplier may at any time require the Customer to deliver up the Goods and, if the Customer fails to do so promptly, the Customer grants the Supplier an irrevocable licence for the Supplier, its agents and employees to enter any premises of the Customer or of any third party (so that the Supplier will not commit a trespass when doing so) where the Goods are stored in order to recover the Goods.

7.7 The Customer shall register any necessary charge over money or goods and shall take such other steps as are necessary to give effect to this clause 7 at the request of the Supplier and/or in order to perfect the Supplier’s title and interest in the Goods.

7.8 The Customer shall not be entitled to pledge or in any way charge by way of security for any indebtedness any of the Goods which remain the Supplier’s property, but if the Customer does so all monies owing by the Customer to the Supplier shall (without prejudice to any other right or remedy of the Supplier) forthwith become due and payable.

8. Price and payment
8.1 The price of the Goods shall be the price set out in the Order, or, if no price is quoted, the price set out in the Supplier’s published price list in force as at the date of delivery.

8.2 The Supplier may, by giving notice to the Customer at any time before delivery, increase the price of the Goods to reflect any increase in the cost of the Goods that is due to:

8.2.1 any factor beyond the Supplier’s control (including foreign exchange fluctuations, increases in taxes and duties, and increases in labour, materials and other manufacturing costs);
8.2.2 any request by the Customer to change the delivery date(s), quantities or types of Goods ordered, or the Specification; or
8.2.3 any delay caused by any instructions of the Customer or failure of the Customer to give the Supplier adequate or accurate information or instructions.

The Supplier reserves the right to invoice and require payment of the same in advance of delivery. The Customer shall pay all invoices in full and in cleared funds within 30 days of the date of the invoice. Payment shall be made to the bank account nominated in writing by the Supplier. Time of payment is of the essence.

8.6 If the Customer fails to make any payment due to the Supplier under the Contract by the due date for payment (due date), then:

8.6.1 the Customer shall pay interest on the overdue amount at the rate of 4% per annum above National Westminster Bank Plc base rate from time to time. Such interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. The Customer shall pay the interest together with the overdue amount; and/or
8.6.2 the Supplier may, without limiting any other right or remedy available to it, cancel or suspend all further deliveries under the Contract or under any other contract between the Customer and the Supplier.

9.1 To ensure the integrity and quality of the Goods, the Customer shall not, without the prior written consent of the Supplier, and subject to any special terms required by the Supplier, resell the Goods to any non-consumer third party which the Customer knows or may be deemed on reasonable grounds to believe intends to resell the Goods to other businesses.

10. Customer’s insolvency
10.1 If the Customer becomes subject to any of the events listed in clause 10.2, or the Supplier reasonably believes that the Customer is about to become subject to any of them, then, without limiting any other right or remedy available to the Supplier, the Supplier may cancel or suspend all further deliveries under the Contract or under any other contract between the Customer and the Supplier without incurring any liability to the Customer, and all outstanding sums in respect of Goods delivered to the Customer shall become immediately due.

13.4 Waiver. A waiver of any right or remedy under the Contract is only effective if given in writing and shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default.
