- The Contract
- The Order constitutes an offer by you to purchase Goods and/or Services in accordance with these Terms.
- The Order shall only be deemed to be accepted when we issue an Order Confirmation at which point and on which date the Contract shall come into existence.
- Any samples, drawings, descriptive matter or advertising issued by us and any descriptions of the Goods or illustrations or descriptions of the Services contained in our catalogues or brochures or on our website are issued or published for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the Services and/or Goods described in them. They shall not form part of the Contract nor have any contractual force. The packaging of Goods may vary from that shown in images on our website, catalogues or brochures.
- If you are a business customer, these Terms apply to the Contract to the exclusion of any other terms that you seek to impose or incorporate, or which are implied by law, trade, custom, practice or course of dealing. If you are a consumer, we are under a legal duty to supply Goods and/or Services that are in conformity with the Contract. Nothing in these Terms will affect your legal rights if you are a consumer.
- Any quotation given by us shall not constitute an offer, and is only valid for a maximum period of 30 calendar days from its date of issue. Quotations may be withdrawn by us at any time by written or oral notice to you.
- Where there is any conflict between the details set out in our Order Confirmation and the details set out in the relevant quotation, the details set out in our Order Confirmation shall prevail to the extent they are inconsistent with the details set out in the relevant quotation.
- All of these Terms shall apply to the supply of both Goods and Services except where application to one or the other is specified.
- You acknowledge and agree to waive any right you might otherwise have to rely on any term endorsed on, delivered with or contained in any documents provided by you that is inconsistent with these Terms.
- Goods
- In the event that the Goods are to be assembled in accordance with a Goods Specification supplied by you, you shall indemnify us against all liabilities, costs, expenses, damages and losses (including any direct, indirect or consequential losses, loss of profit, loss of reputation and all interest, penalties and legal costs (calculated on a full indemnity basis) and all other professional costs and expenses) suffered or incurred by us arising out of or in connection with any claim made against us for actual or alleged infringement of a third party's intellectual property rights arising out of or in connection with our use of the Goods Specification. This condition 4.1 shall survive termination of the Contract.
- We reserve the right to amend the Goods and/or Goods Specification if required by any applicable statutory or regulatory requirement, and we shall notify you in any such event. We shall not be obliged to make any alteration to the Goods where such statutory or regulatory requirements arise subsequent to the date of the Contract.
- If after the date of Contract and before the date of delivery or collection of the Goods, improvements are made in the design or specification of the Goods, we may on giving notice to you incorporate such improvements in the Goods provided that:
- the performance and quality of the Goods are at least equal to those of the Goods originally ordered;
- no price variation is made except with your written consent; and
- delivery or collection is not unreasonably delayed.
- You will not exhibit any of our products at any public exhibition or trade display without first obtaining our written permission. Such permission may be given at our absolute discretion.
- Changes
If you wish to make a change to the Goods and/or Services you have ordered please contact us. We will let you know if the change is possible. If it is possible we will let you know about any changes to the price of the Goods and/or Services, the timing of supply or anything else which would be necessary as a result of your requested change and ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change. If you confirm that you wish to go ahead with the change, we will issue an updated Order Confirmation, which will supersede any previous Order Confirmation in relation to that Order.
- Delivery
- Any dates quoted for delivery of the Goods are approximate only, and the time of delivery is not of the essence. You shall have no right to damages or to cancel any Order due to our failure to meet any delivery time stated. We shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of the Goods that is caused by an event outside our control (including non-performance by suppliers or subcontractors or any labour or trade dispute, strikes, industrial action or lockouts) or your failure to provide us with adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the Goods.
- The parties acknowledge and agree that the Order Confirmation shall set out:
- whether we shall deliver the Goods or you shall collect the Goods; and
- the delivery location (Delivery Location) or collection location (Collection Location) (as the case may be). Where no Collection Location is set out in the Order Confirmation, the Collection Location shall be our premises at Sandtoft Industrial Estate, Belton, Doncaster, South Yorkshire, DN9 1PN.
- Unless otherwise agreed in writing or set out in the Order Confirmation, delivery of the Goods shall be completed on the arrival of the Goods at the Delivery Location and you shall be responsible for, and we shall have no liability in relation to, the unloading of the Goods at the Delivery Location. Collection shall be completed on completion of the loading of the Goods at the Collection Location.
- If we fail to deliver the Goods or make available for collection the Goods, our liability shall be limited to the direct costs and expenses reasonably and properly incurred by you in obtaining replacement goods of similar description and quality in the cheapest market available, less the price of the Goods. We shall have no liability for any failure to deliver or make available for collection the Goods to the extent that such failure is caused by an event outside our control (including non-performance by suppliers or subcontractors or any labour or trade dispute, strikes, industrial action or lockouts) or your failure to provide us with adequate delivery instructions, information and documents or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the Goods or any failure by you to collect the Goods from the Collection Location.
- If you fail to accept delivery of the Goods or fail to collect the Goods within fourteen days of us notifying you that the Goods are ready for collection (as applicable), then except where such failure or delay is caused by an event outside your control or by our failure to comply with our obligations under the Contract in respect of the Goods:
- delivery or collection of the Goods shall be deemed to have been completed at 9.00 am on the day on which we first attempted to deliver the Goods (in cases where we have agreed to deliver the Goods) or at 9.00 am on the fourteenth day following the day on which we notified you that the Goods were ready for collection (in cases where you are to collect the Goods); and
- we shall store the Goods until delivery or collection takes place and charge you for all related costs and expenses (including insurance).
- If actual delivery or collection of the Goods has not taken place within 14 days after the day on which we attempted to deliver the Goods or within 28 days after the day on which we notified you that the Goods were ready for collection (as applicable), we may, at our option, resell or otherwise dispose of part or all of the Goods and, after deducting storage, insurance and selling costs, account to you for any excess over the price of the Goods or charge you, and you shall pay on demand, for any shortfall below the price of the Goods (as the case may be).
- We 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 you to cancel any other instalment.
- We will endeavour to comply with reasonable requests by you for postponement of delivery or collection, but shall be under no obligation to do so and shall do so at our absolute discretion.
- We may need certain information and documentation from you so that we can supply the Goods and/or Services to you. We will contact you to ask for this information and documentation. If you do not give us this information and documentation within a reasonable time of us asking for it, or if you give us incomplete or incorrect information or documentation, we may at our option either end the Contract or make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to compensate us for any extra work that is required as a result. We will not be responsible for supplying the Goods and/or Services late or not supplying any part of them if this is caused by you not giving us the information and documentation we need within a reasonable time of us asking for it.
- Defective Goods
- We warrant that on delivery or collection , and for a period of 12 months from completion of delivery or collection (Warranty Period), the Goods shall:
- conform in all material respects with any applicable Goods Specification; and
- be free from material defects in design, material and workmanship.
- Subject to condition 7.3, if:
- you give notice in writing to us during the Warranty Period within 7 days of discovery that some or all of the Goods do not comply with the warranty set out in condition 7.1;
- you contact us in writing to request a returns number;
- we are given a reasonable opportunity of examining and inspecting such Goods; and
- you return such Goods to our place of business (if asked to do so by us) at your cost;
we shall, at our option, repair or replace the defective Goods only.
- We shall not be liable for the Goods' failure to comply with the warranty set out in condition 7.1 if:
- you make any further use of such Goods after giving a notice in accordance with condition 7.2;
- the defect arises because you failed to follow our oral or written instructions as to the storage, installation, commissioning, use or maintenance of the Goods or (if there are none) good trade practice regarding the same;
- the defect arises as a result of us following any drawing, design or Goods Specification supplied by you;
- you alter or repair such Goods without our written consent;
- the defect arises as a result of fair wear and tear, wilful damage, negligence, or abnormal working conditions; or
- the Goods differ from their description or the Goods Specification as a result of changes made to ensure they comply with applicable statutory or regulatory standards.
- Except as provided in this condition 7, we shall have no liability to you in respect of the Goods' failure to comply with the warranty set out in condition 7.1.
- This condition 7 shall apply to any repaired or replacement Goods supplied by us.
- Title and Risk
- The risk in the Goods shall pass to you on completion of delivery or collection in accordance with condition 6.3, save that where Goods are to be delivered or collected in accordance with the Incoterms rules, risk shall pass in accordance with those rules.
- Title to the Goods shall not pass to you until the earlier of:
- we receive payment in full (in cash or cleared funds) for the Goods and any other goods that we have supplied to you in respect of which payment has become due, in which case title to the Goods shall pass at the time of payment of all such sums; and
- you resell the Goods, in which case title to the Goods shall pass to you at the time specified in condition 8.4.
- Until title to the Goods has passed to you, you shall:
- store the Goods separately from all other goods held by you so that they remain readily identifiable as our property;
- not remove, deface or obscure any identifying mark or packaging on or relating to the Goods;
- maintain the Goods in satisfactory condition and keep them insured against all risks for their full price on our behalf from the date of delivery or collection;
- notify us immediately if you become subject to any of the events listed in condition 17.1(a) to 17.1(d); and
- give us such information as we may reasonably require from time to time relating to:
- the Goods; and
- your ongoing financial position.
- Subject to condition 8.5, you may resell or use the Goods in the ordinary course of your business (but not otherwise) before we receive payment for the Goods. However, if you resell the Goods before that time:
- you do so as principal and not as our agent; and
- title to the Goods shall pass from us to you immediately before the time at which resale by you occurs.
- At any time before title to the Goods passes to you, we may:
- by notice in writing, terminate your right under condition 8.4 to resell the Goods or use them in the ordinary course of your business; and
- require you to deliver up all Goods in your possession that have not been resold, or irrevocably incorporated into another product and if you fail to do so promptly, enter your premises or the premises of any third party where the Goods are stored in order to recover them.
- You shall not be entitled to pledge or in any way charge by way of security for any indebtedness any of the Goods which remain our property, but if you do so all money owing by you to us shall (without prejudice to any other right or remedy of ours) forthwith become due and payable.
- Carriage and Packing
- Unless otherwise agreed in writing, prices quoted exclude the cost of delivery and packing.
- Where the cost of delivery and/or packing is known at the time we issue an Order Confirmation, we will inform you of those costs in such Order Confirmation.
- For destinations in Great Britain, unless otherwise agreed in writing, we will select the mode of transport with due regard to urgency and cost and charge you accordingly.

We will select the mode of transport with due regard to urgency and cost and you will be charged for such costs at the rate prevailing.
- Unless otherwise agreed in writing, any packing in which the Goods are shipped is intended to be sufficient only to protect the Goods under normal conditions of transit and for the normal period of transit. If you have specific packing requests, please inform us prior to submitting an Order.
- Shortages and Defects
- You shall have no claim for shortages or defects apparent on visual inspection unless:
- you inspect the Goods within three Business Days of arrival at your premises or other agreed destination; and
- written notice is given to us within 7 days of receipt of the Goods specifying the shortage or defect; and
- we are given an opportunity to inspect the Goods and investigate any complaint before any use is made of the Goods. Goods must be returned to us, upon request, within fourteen days at your expense. Carriage will be refunded where, in our reasonable opinion, your complaint is upheld.
- You must notify us within 10 days of the date of despatch in the case of non-delivery of Goods.

- Supply of Services
- We shall supply the Services to you in accordance with the Service Specification in all material respects.
- We reserve the right to amend the Service Specification if necessary to comply with any applicable law or regulatory requirement, or if the amendment will not materially affect the nature or quality of the Services, and we shall notify you in any such event.
- We warrant to you that the Services will be provided using reasonable care and skill.
- If you do not allow us access to the location where the Services are to be performed in order to perform the Services as arranged (and you do not have a good reason for this) we may charge you additional costs incurred by us as a result.

- We may withdraw or reduce credit facilities at any time without notice and without liability to you.
- All amounts payable by you under the Contract are exclusive of amounts in respect of value added tax (VAT) which shall be payable by you in addition to the price of the Goods and/or Services.
- If you fail to make a payment due to us under the Contract by the due date, then, without limiting our other rights and remedies, we shall be entitled to charge you interest on the overdue sum from the due date until payment of the overdue sum, whether before or after judgment. Interest under this condition 13.10 will accrue each day at 4% a year above the Bank of England's base rate from time to time, but at 4% a year for any period when that base rate is below 0%.

- Each party may disclose the other party's confidential information:
- to its employees, officers, representatives, contractors or subcontracts or advisers who need to know such information for the purposes of exercising the party's rights or carrying out its obligations under or in connection with the Contract. Each party shall ensure that its employees, officers, representatives or advisers to whom it discloses the other party's confidential information comply with this condition 16; and
- as may be required by law, a court of competent jurisdiction or any governmental or regulatory authority.
- No party shall use any other party's confidential information for any purpose other than to exercise its rights and perform its obligations under or in connection with the Contract.
- Termination of the Contract
- Without affecting any other right or remedy available to it, either party may terminate the Contract with immediate effect by giving written notice to the other party if:
- the other party commits a material breach of its obligations under the Contract and (if such breach is remediable) fails to remedy that breach within 30 days after receipt of notice in writing to do so;
- the other party takes any step or action in connection with its entering administration, provisional liquidation or any composition or arrangement with its creditors (other than in relation to a solvent restructuring), obtaining a moratorium, being wound up (whether voluntarily or by order of the court, unless for the purpose of a solvent restructuring), having a receiver appointed to any of its assets or ceasing to carry on business or, if the step or action is taken in another jurisdiction, in connection with any analogous procedure in the relevant jurisdiction;
- the other party suspends, or threatens to suspend, or ceases or threatens to cease to carry on all or a substantial part of its business; or
- the other party's financial position deteriorates so far as to reasonably justify the opinion that its ability to give effect to the terms of the Contract is in jeopardy.
- Without affecting any other right or remedy available to it, we may terminate the Contract with immediate effect by giving written notice to you if:
- you fail to pay any amount due under the Contract on the due date for payment; or
- you undergo a change of control (within the meaning given in section 1124 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010).

- Consequences of Termination
- On termination of the Contract pursuant to condition 17:

- you shall return all of the Supplier Materials and any Goods which have not been fully paid for.

- Force Majeure
- Neither party shall be in breach of the Contract nor liable for delay in performing or failure to perform any of its obligations under the Contract if such delay or failure result from events, circumstances or causes beyond its reasonable control (including non-performance by suppliers or subcontractors or any labour or trade dispute, strikes, industrial action or lockouts). In such circumstances the time for performance shall be extended by a period equivalent to the period during which performance of the obligation has been delayed or failed to be performed. If the period of delay or non-performance continues for 16 weeks, the party not affected may terminate the Contract by giving 30 days' written notice to the affected party.
- The provisions of condition 19.1 shall not apply to the obligation to pay charges due under the Contract.

- death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors (as applicable);
- fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;
- breach of the Terms implied by section 12 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 or section 2 of the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982;

- You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these Terms to another person if we agree to this in writing
- This Contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms. Neither of us will need to get the agreement of any other person in order to end the Contract or make any changes to these Terms.
- Each of the paragraphs of these Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
- If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these Terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this Contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the Goods, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.
- Nothing in the Contract is intended to, or shall be deemed to, establish any partnership or joint venture between the parties, constitute either party the agent of the other, or authorise either party to make or enter into any commitments for or on behalf of the other party.
