CONDITIONS OF SALE

Last Updated: 2017

The following General Conditions of Sale shall apply to all contracts for the Sale of the Company’s goods and shall prevail over any terms and conditions inconsistent with them whether appearing on the order placed with the company or otherwise.

Acceptance A quotation does not constitute an offer and may be withdrawn at any time prior to confirmation of an order by the company. Prices quoted are based on present cost of materials and labour and are subject to adjustment to cover any variations which might take place prior to the date of dispatch. All quotations are made exclusive of Value Added Tax which will be charged extra at the current rate. Any quotation is also subject to the goods referred to being available for execution of the order. No clerical errors or omissions in quotations or acceptances of orders shall annul the sale, but shall be subject to subsequent correction by the Company and no compensation shall be allowed to the purchaser in respect thereof.

Illustrations The company will not be bound to sell goods that correspond with illustrations, leaflets, advertisements and drawings or other matter issued by or on its behalf. The Company’s designs are necessarily subject to alterations, and the purchaser shall purchase upon the understanding that such alterations may be made if the Company deems such alterations to be necessary.

Weights and Measurements All weights, measurements and horse-powers, etc., given in estimates, illustrations, leaflets, advertisements or drawings or other matter issued by or on behalf of the Company are believed to be correct but are not guaranteed and shall not be binding on the Company insofar as it fair and reasonable to vary such estimates, illustrations, leaflets, advertisements, drawings or other matter issued by or on behalf of the Company.

Delivery The time given for delivery is an estimate only. It is given in good faith but not guaranteed and the company will not be bound by it. The Company shall not be liable for the consequence of any delay in delivery. All deliveries will be ex-works and unpacked unless otherwise stated. Where goods are carried and delivered by the Company or any other carrier, the care, carriage and unloading thereof whether by the Company’s employees or otherwise shall in all respects be at the purchaser’s cost and risk unless special arrangements have been made to the contrary in writing, and no compensation or damages will be paid by the Company, for loss, damage, delay, detention or mis-delivery whether caused by the act or the default of the Company or its employees or by accident or otherwise. The purchaser must notify the carrier and the Company in writing within 3 days of any damage to goods caused in transit or any irregularity in the carriage or delivery of the goods. In cases of non-delivery the carriers and the Company must be advised in writing within 14 days of the date of despatch, which is indicated by the date of the Company’s relevant Advice Note and Invoice. In the prosecution of any claims against the carriers in respect of damage, shortage or non-delivery, the Company shall be the agent of the purchaser and the purchaser shall indemnify the Company against all loss and expenses occasioned thereby. The Company advises that all goods packed in cases or cartons be opened and inspected for damage immediately.

Payment Unless otherwise agreed in writing payment (as to which time shall be of the essence) is due at the end of the month, following the month in which the Company’s invoice is dated and (without prejudice to the Company’s other rights and remedies) any sum not paid when it is due shall thereafter carry interest as well after as before any judgement until date of payment in full at the rate of three percent annum above the base lending rate of Lloyd’s bank PLC for the time being. If any payment is not made on the due date the Company reserves the right to withdraw credit terms. The purchaser shall not be entitled, whether by reason of any claim against the Company or for any other reason whatsoever, under any circumstances to
defer payment of any monies payable to the Company as and when such monies become due and payable.

Cancellations No orders given to the Company can be cancelled without the Company’s consent in writing having been obtained and it shall be an implied condition of such cancellation that the purchaser shall indemnify the Company against all loss and expenses occasioned thereby.
