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. 

2.2 The Order constitutes an offer by the Customer to purchase the Goods in accordance with these Conditions. The Customer shall ensure that the terms of the Order and any relevant Specification are complete and accurate. 

2.3 The Order shall only be deemed to be accepted when the Supplier issues a written confirmation of the Order, at which point the Contract shall be formed. 

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. Any samples, drawings, descriptions or advertising issued by the Supplier and any descriptions or illustrations contained in the Supplier's catalogues or brochures are issued or published for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the Goods described in them. They shall not form part of the Contract or any other contract between the Supplier and the Customer for the sale of the Goods. 

2.5 A quotation for the Goods given by the Supplier shall not constitute an offer. A quotation shall only be valid for a period of 20 Business Days from its date of issue.

3. DELIVERY 

3.1 The Supplier shall ensure that 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), special storage instructions (if any) and, if the Order is being delivered by instalments, the outstanding balance of Goods remaining to be delivered. 

3.2 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. The Supplier shall arrange for suitable transport to the Delivery Location. Acceptance of any change to the Delivery Location requested by the Customer shall be at the Supplier's sole discretion and the Customer shall be liable for any additional costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Supplier as a result of such change. 

3.3 Delivery of the Goods shall be completed on the Goods' arrival at the Delivery Location. 

3.4 Any dates quoted for delivery are approximate 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 provide the Supplier with adequate delivery instructions or any other information that is relevant to the supply of the Goods. 

3.5 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 information that is relevant to the supply of the Goods. 

3.6 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: 

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

(b) the Supplier shall store the Goods until actual delivery takes place and charge the Customer for all related costs and expenses (including insurance). 

3.7 If ten Business Days after the Supplier notified the Customer that the Goods were ready for delivery, the Customer has not accepted delivery of them, the Supplier may resell or otherwise dispose of part or all of the Goods and, after deducting reasonable storage and selling costs, account to the Customer for any excess over the price of the Goods or charge the Customer for any shortfall below the price of the Goods. 

3.8 The Customer shall not be entitled to reject the Goods if the Supplier delivers up to and including 5% more or less than the quantity of Goods ordered. The Customer shall pay for the actual quantity delivered. 

3.9 The Supplier may deliver the Goods by instalments which shall be invoiced and paid for separately. Each instalment shall constitute a separate Contract. Any delay in delivery or defect in an instalment shall not entitle the Customer to cancel any other instalment. 

3.10The Customer is responsible for obtaining, at its own cost, such import, export and other licences and consents in relation to the Goods as are required from time to time and, if required by the Supplier, the Customer shall make those licences and consents available to the Supplier prior to the relevant shipment. Without prejudice to the Customer’s obligations under this clause 3.10 and clause 11.7(d), the Supplier (or its appointed carrier) may, on delivery of the Goods and together with the relevant delivery note, provide the Customer with such export documents as are necessary and which the Customer is unable to prepare.

(b)be free from material defects in design, material and workmanship; 

(c)be of satisfactory quality (within the meaning of the Sale of Goods Act 1979); and 

(d)be fit for any purpose held out by the Supplier. 

This Warranty shall not apply to Goods provided by the Supplier by way of sample only. 

4.2 Subject to clause 4.3, if: 

(a)the Customer gives notice in writing to the Supplier within ten Business Days after its receipt of the Goods that some or all of the Goods do not comply with the Warranty (such notice to state the relevant delivery note reference, a description of the Goods and the alleged reason for the non-compliance); 

(b)the Supplier is given a reasonable opportunity to examine such Goods; and 

(c)the Customer (if so requested by the Supplier) returns such Goods to the Supplier's place of business at the Customer's cost and the Goods have not been soiled or damaged by the Customer, 

the Supplier shall, at its option, repair or replace the defective Goods, or refund the price of the defective Goods in full. 

4.3 The Supplier shall not be liable for any failure of the Goods to comply with the Warranty if: 

(a)the Customer makes any further use of such Goods after giving notice in accordance with clause 4.2 or the Goods have been soiled or damaged by the Customer; 

(b)the defect arises because the Customer failed to follow the Supplier's oral or written instructions as to the storage, use and maintenance of the Goods or (if there are none) good trade practice; 

(c)the defect arises as a result of the Supplier following any drawing, design or specification supplied by the Customer; 

(d)the Customer alters or repairs such Goods without the written consent of the Supplier; or 

(e)the defect arises as a result of fair wear and tear, wilful damage, negligence, or abnormal storage or working conditions. 

4.4 Except as provided in this clause 4, the Supplier shall not be liable to the Customer in respect of the Goods' failure to comply with the Warranty. 

4.5 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. 

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

5. TITLE AND RISK 

5.1 The risk in, and responsibility for, the Goods shall pass to the Customer on completion of delivery at the Delivery Location or on delivery of the Goods to the carrier appointed by the Customer to accept the Goods. 

5.2 Title to the Goods shall not pass to the Customer until the Supplier has received payment in full (in cash or cleared funds)for: 

(a) the Goods; and 

(b) all other sums which are or become due to the Supplier for sales of the Goods or any other products to the Customer. 

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

(a) hold the Goods on a fiduciary basis as the Supplier's bailee; 

(b) store the Goods separately from all other goods held by the Customer so that they remain readily identifiable as the Supplier's property; 

(c) not remove, deface or obscure any identifying mark or packaging on or relating to the Goods; 

(d) not alter the Goods in any way and maintain the Goods in satisfactory condition; 

(e) notify the Supplier immediately if it becomes subject to any of the events listed in clause 7.2; 

(f) give the Supplier such information relating to the Goods as the Supplier may require from time to time; and 

(g) keep the Goods insured against all risks for their full price from the date of delivery and any proceeds of such insurance shall be held on trust for the Supplier in a separate account in the joint names of the Supplier and the Customer. The Customer shall not mix the insurance proceeds with any other money or pay the proceeds into an overdrawn bank account. The Customer shall account to the Supplier for the proceeds accordingly and make good any shortfall in the amount due to the Supplier. 

5.4 The Customer may use or resell the Goods to a third party and pass good title to that third party (but may not otherwise deal with the Goods) on the following terms: 

(a) the sale is in the ordinary course of the Customer's business; and 

(b) the Customer holds the proceeds of any resale on trust for the Supplier in a separate account in the joint names of the Supplier and the Customer and does not mix them with any other money or pay the proceeds into an overdrawn bank account. 

The Customer shall account to the Supplier for the proceeds accordingly and shall make good any shortfall in the amount due to the Supplier. 

5.5 If before title to the Goods passes to the Customer the Customer becomes subject to any of the events listed in clause 7.2, or the Supplier reasonably believes that any such event is about to happen and notifies the Customer accordingly, 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, enter any premises of the Customer or of any third party where the Goods are stored in order to recover them. 

5.6 The Customer shall only be permitted to resell the Goods to third parties in such countries as the Supplier shall notify to the Customer. By allowing resale in these countries, the Supplier does not consent to the exhaustion of its trade mark rights in the European Economic Area and all rights asserted in clause 9 shall remain in full force and effect. 

5. The Customer grants to the Supplier an irrevocable licence for the Supplier, its agents and employees to enter any premises where the goods of the Customer are stored to ascertain whether any Goods are stored there and to inspect, count and recover them. 

6. PRICE AND PAYMENT 

6.1 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. 

6.2 The Supplier may, by giving notice to the Customer at any time up to five 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 factor beyond the Supplier's control (including foreign exchange fluctuations, increases in taxes and duties and increases in labour, materials and other manufacturing costs); 

(b)any request by the Customer to change the delivery date(s), quantities or types of Goods ordered, or the Specification; or 

(c)any delay caused by any instructions of the Customer or failure of the Customer to give the Supplier adequate or accurate information or instructions.

which costs and charges shall be paid by the Customer when it pays for the Goods. 

6.4 The price of the Goods is exclusive of amounts in respect of VAT. The Customer shall, on receipt of a valid VAT invoice from the Supplier, pay to the Supplier such additional amounts in respect of VAT as are chargeable on the supply of the Goods. 

6.5 The Supplier may invoice the Customer for the Goods on or at any time after the completion of delivery. 

6.6 The Customer shall pay the invoice in full and in cleared funds within 30 days of the date of the invoice. Payment shall be made by telegraphic transfer to the bank account nominated in writing by the Supplier. Unless otherwise agreed by the Supplier, payment shall be made in pounds sterling provided that if at any time the pounds sterling ceases to be legal tender in England, the parties shall agree an alternative currency in writing and all payments shall be made in that nominated currency from the date on which the Customer receives notice of such change in currency from the Supplier. Time of payment is of the essence. 

6.7 If the Customer fails to make any payment due to the Supplier under the Contract by the due date for payment (Due Date), then the Customer shall pay interest on the overdue amount at the rate of 3% per annum above the base lending rate from time to time of the Lloyds Banking Group plc. 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. 

6.8 The Customer shall pay all amounts due under the Contract in full without any deduction or withholding except as required by law and the Customer shall not be entitled to assert any credit, set-off or counterclaim against the Supplier in order to justify withholding payment of any such amount in whole or in part. Without limiting any other rights or remedies it may have, the Supplier may at any time set off any amount owing to it by the Customer against any amount payable by the Supplier to the Customer. If the Customer is required under any applicable law to withhold or deduct any amount from the payments due to the Supplier, the Customer shall increase the sum it pays to the Supplier by the amount necessary to leave the Supplier with an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholdings or deductions had been made. 

7. CUSTOMER'S INSOLVENCY OR INCAPACITY 

7.1 If the Customer becomes subject to any of the events listed in clause 7.2 (or if the Supplier reasonably believes that the Customer is about to become subject to any such events and notifies the Customer accordingly), 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.
