AGREED TERMS
This agreement comprises this Front Sheet, together with: i. the Quotation (which shall become an Order on the date set out in clause of 2.3 of the general terms and conditions); and ii. the general terms and conditions for the sale and purchase of the Goods in accordance with these Conditions (as defined below) as set below, together with the Schedules thereto, together, this 'Contract'.

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1. Interpretation

The definitions and rules of interpretation set out in Schedule 1 apply to this Contract.

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 law, trade custom, practice or course of dealing.

2.2 A Quotation for the Goods given by the Supplier shall not constitute an offer. A quotation shall only be valid for the period as set out in the Quotation (or in the absence of which, a period of seven (7) Business Days from its date of issue).

2.3 The Order shall only be deemed to be accepted when the Customer confirms it wishes to accept the Quotation and the Supplier has issued an invoice, at which point the Contract shall come into existence. The Customer is responsible for ensuring that the terms of the Order submitted by the Customer are complete and accurate.

2.4 Each accepted Order shall form a separate contract.

2.5 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.

2.6 Any samples, drawings or advertising produced by the Supplier and any illustrations contained in the Supplier's catalogues or brochures are produced for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the Goods referred to in them. They shall not form part of the Contract nor have any contractual force.

3. Goods

3.1 The Goods are described in the Supplier's catalogue.

3.2 The Supplier reserves the right to amend the specification of the Goods if required by any applicable statutory or regulatory requirements. If such amendments will materially change the nature or quality of the Goods, the Supplier shall notify the Customer who may then cancel the Order.

4. Delivery

4.1 Subject to Clause 4.5, the Goods shall be delivered by the Supplier, or its nominated carrier, to the Delivery Location by the Estimated Delivery Date.

4.2 The Goods shall be deemed delivered on the completion of unloading of the Goods at the Delivery Location.

4.3 The Supplier may deliver the Goods in instalments if specified in the Order. Any delay or defect in an instalment shall not entitle the Customer to cancel any other instalment.

4.4 Delivery of the Goods shall be accompanied by a delivery note stating 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), special handling or storage instructions (if any) and, if the Goods are being delivered by instalments, the outstanding balance of Goods remaining to be delivered.

4.5 Any dates quoted for delivery are indicative only, and the time of delivery is not of the essence. The Supplier shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of the Goods that is caused by a Force Majeure Event or the Customer's failure to make the Delivery Location available or provide the Supplier with adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the Goods.

4.6 If the Customer fails to accept delivery of the Goods (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), the Supplier shall store and insure the Goods pending delivery, and the Customer shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by the Supplier in doing so.

4.7 If ten (10) Business Days following the due date for delivery of the Goods, the Customer has not taken delivery of or collected them, the Supplier may resell or otherwise dispose of the Goods without any obligation or liability to the Customer, except as provided for in Clauses 4.7(a) and 4.7(b). The Supplier shall: (a) deduct all storage charges at the Supplier’s then-applicable rates and reasonable costs of resale; and (b) account to the Customer for any excess of the resale price over, or invoice the Customer for any shortfall of the resale price below, the Price paid by the Customer for the Goods.

4.8 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. 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.

5. Warranty

5.1 The Supplier warrants that on delivery, and for a period of five (5) years from the date of delivery ('Warranty Period'), the Goods shall: (a) conform with their description; (b) be free from material defects in design, material and workmanship; and (c) be of satisfactory quality (within the meaning of the Sale of Goods Act 1979).

5.2 Subject to Clause 5.3, if: (a) the Customer gives notice in writing to the Supplier 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; (b) the Supplier is given a reasonable opportunity of examining such Goods; and (c) the Customer (if asked to do so by the Supplier) returns such Goods to the Supplier's place of business at the Supplier's cost, or makes such Goods available to the Supplier for collection at Supplier's cost, the Supplier shall replace the defective Goods as soon as reasonably practicable.

5.3 The Supplier shall not be liable for the Goods' failure to comply with the warranty set out in Clause 5.1 in any of the following events: (a) the Customer makes any further use of such Goods after giving notice in accordance with Clause 5.2; (b) the defect arises because the Customer failed to follow the Supplier's oral or written instructions as to the storage, commissioning, installation, use and maintenance of the Goods or (if there are none) good trade practice regarding the same; (c) the Customer alters or repairs such Goods without the written consent of the Supplier; (d) the defect arises as a result of fair wear and tear, wilful damage, negligence, or abnormal storage or working conditions; or (e) the Goods differ from their description as a result of changes made to ensure they comply with applicable statutory or regulatory requirements.

5.4 Except as provided in this Clause 5, the Supplier shall have no liability to the Customer in respect of the Goods' failure to comply with the warranty set out in Clause 5.1.

5.5 The terms implied by sections 13 to 15 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 are, to the fullest extent permitted by law, excluded from the Contract.

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

6. Title and risk

6.1 The risk in the Goods shall pass to the Customer on completion of delivery.

6.2 Title to the Goods shall pass to the Customer once the Supplier has received payment in full and cleared funds for the Goods.

6.3 Until title to the Goods has passed to the Customer, the Customer shall: (a) store the Goods separately from all other goods held by the Customer so that they remain readily identifiable as the Supplier's property; (b) not remove, deface or obscure any identifying mark or packaging on or relating to the Goods; (c) maintain the Goods in satisfactory condition and keep them insured against all risks for their full Price from the date of delivery; (d) notify the Supplier immediately if it becomes subject to any of the events listed in Clause 10.1(b) to Clause 10.1(d); and (e) give the Supplier such information as the Supplier may reasonably require from time to time relating to: (i) the Goods; and (ii) the ongoing financial position of the Customer.

7.1 The Price of the Goods shall be as set out in the Order and is non-refundable.

7.2 The Supplier may, by giving notice to the Customer at any time up to ten (10) Business Days before delivery, increase the price of the Goods to reflect any increase in the cost of the Goods that is due to: (a) any request by the Customer to change the Estimated Delivery Date(s), quantities or types of Goods ordered; or (b) any delay caused by any instructions of the Customer or failure of the Customer to give the Supplier adequate or accurate information or instructions.

7.3 The Price excludes VAT or equivalent sales tax, which the Customer shall additionally be liable to pay to the Supplier at the prevailing rate, subject to the receipt of a valid VAT invoice.

7.4 The Supplier shall invoice the Customer for the Goods, partially or in full, at any time following the date of this Contract.

Where sums due under these Conditions are not paid in full by the due date: (a) the Supplier may, without limiting its other rights and remedies, charge interest on such sums at 4% a year above the Bank of England's base rate from time to time; and (b) interest shall accrue on a daily basis, and apply from the due date for payment until actual payment in full, whether before or after judgment.
