portable document format General Conditions of Sale

1) General

All quotations are given and all orders are accepted on the terms of the Seller’s General Conditions and on any Special Conditions set out in its quotation and on others.

 

These conditions which supersede any earlier sets of conditions appearing in the Seller’s catalogues, price lists or elsewhere, shall override and exclude any other terms or conditions stipulated or incorporated or referred to by the Buyer, whether in the order or in any other negotiations.

 

The Conditions of Sale shall at all times overrule Conditions of Purchase, and the signing by the Seller of any of the Buyer’s documentation does not imply a modification of these conditions. Any modification of these conditions is ineffective unless made by an express written agreement between the parties.

 

2) Specification

All descriptions and illustrations contained in the Seller’s catalogues, price lists and advertisements or otherwise communicated to the Buyer are intended merely to present a general idea of the goods described therein, and nothing contained in any of them shall form any part of any agreement of which the General Conditions form a part.

 

Notwithstanding that a sample of the goods may have been exhibited to and inspected by the Buyer, it is hereby agreed that such a sample was so exhibited and inspected solely to enable the Buyer to judge for himself the quality of the bulk and not as to constitute a sale by sample.

 

For custom made items we reserve the right to supply + or – 10% of the ordered quantity.

 

3) Prices

All prices quoted or shown in catalogues, price lists or advertisements are Net Trade prices and exclude V.A.T., (Value Added Tax).

 

Orders are accepted at the prices shown in the Seller’s current catalogues and price lists, but the Seller reserves the right to amend these prices to those ruling at the date of dispatch due to materials or currency fluctuations or circumstances beyond the control of the Seller, and to amend any accidental errors or omissions.

 

Acceptance of order acknowledgement implies agreement that pricing on the order may be subject to review, following the UK’s independent trade policies and tariff rates put into place post Brexit, and/or fluctuation in the value of Sterling post Brexit.

 

Where prices are quoted in £ sterling, with a currency parity advised, the invoice value will be adjusted to cover deviations from the specified rate, to the rate ruling at the date of this invoice.

5) Delivery

While every endeavour endeavor is made by the Seller to supply the goods within the specified period, all delivery periods are estimates only and the Seller shall not be liable for failure to make goods available within such periods.

Any special deliveries requested by the Buyer will be charged to the Buyer. The goods will be at the Buyer’s risk from the time they are delivered to aforesaid and the Seller shall not be liable for any loss occurring after the risk has passed to the Buyer, however caused, nor shall any liability of the Buyer to the Seller be diminished or extinguished by reason of such loss.

 

7) Loss or Damage in Transit. Quantity Deficiencies.

Goods lost or damaged in transit will be replaced or repaired at no charge provided written notification of such damage or loss is made by the Buyer to the Seller so that such notification is received by the Seller within 10 days of the date of the advice note or invoice. If the Buyer shall fail to give such notice, the goods shall be deemed to be in all respects in accordance with the contract and the Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted the goods.

 

Claims of incorrect quantity will only be considered if notified within 10 days of the invoice date, or arrival at port for sea shipments.

 

8) Guarantee

All goods shall be subject to the terms contained in any form of guarantee issued by the Manufacturer but shall be free from all warranties expressed or implied and the Seller shall not be responsible for any damage or injury to person or property or loss arising out of their use or handling.

 

9) Returned Goods

No return of goods will be accepted by the Seller without prior written consent in terms of a returns number (RMA) allocated by the company. The Seller reserves the right to charge a percentage of up to 30% of the invoice value of the goods, with a minimum of £5.00 to cover the handling of unwanted goods or incorrectly ordered goods. Any such goods returned will be at the cost of the Buyer.
