GENERAL

  • These conditions shall apply to all contracts for the sale of Goods by the Seller to the Buyer to the exclusion of all other terms and conditions including any terms or conditions which the Buyer may seek to apply under any purchase order, order confirmation or similar document.
  • All orders for Goods shall be deemed to be an offer by the Buyer to purchase Goods pursuant to these Conditions.

  • Nothing in these Conditions shall affect the statutory rights of any Buyer dealing as a consumer.

  • Payment of the Price is due immediately upon order unless a credit account has been established with the Seller in which event payment of the Price is due 30 days following the date of invoice.
  • The Seller shall be entitled to charge interest on overdue invoices from the date when payment becomes due, interest to accrue from day to day until the date of payment at a rate of 2% per annum above the base rate of the Bank of England from time to time.
  • The Seller reserves the right to grant, refuse, restrict, cancel or alter credit terms at its sole discretion at any time.

    • appropriate any payment made by the Buyer to such of the Goods (or Goods supplied under any other contract) as the Seller may think fit;
    • terminate the contract.

DESCRIPTION

Any description given or applied to the Goods is given by way of identification only and the use of such description shall not constitute a sale by description. For the avoidance of doubt, the Buyer hereby affirms that it does not in any way rely on any description when entering into the contract.

SAMPLE

Where a sample of the Goods is shown to and inspected by the Buyer, the parties hereto accept that such a sample is so shown and inspected for the sole purpose of enabling the Buyer to judge for itself the quality of the bulk, and not so far as to constitute a sale by sample.

DELIVERY

  • Unless otherwise agreed in writing, delivery of the Goods shall take place at the address specified by the Buyer on the date specified by the Seller. The Buyer shall make all arrangements necessary to take delivery of the Goods whenever they are tendered for delivery.
  • The date of delivery specified by the Seller is an estimate only. Time for delivery shall not be of the essence of the contract and while every reasonable effort will be made to comply with such dates compliance is not guaranteed and the Buyer shall have no right to damages or to cancel the order for failure for any cause to meet any delivery date stated.
  • If the Seller is unable to deliver the Goods for reasons beyond its control, then the Seller shall be entitled to place the Goods in storage until such time as delivery may be affected and the Buyer shall be liable for any expense associated with such storage.
  • If the Buyer fails to accept delivery of Goods on the delivery date or within 3 days of notification that they are ready for dispatch whether prior to or after the delivery date the Seller reserves the right to invoice the Goods to the Buyer and charge him, therefore. In addition, the Buyer shall then pay reasonable storage charges or demurrage as appropriate in the circumstances until the Goods are either dispatched to the Buyer or disposed of elsewhere.
  • The Seller shall be entitled to deliver the Goods by instalments and where the Goods are so delivered, each delivery shall constitute a separate contract and failure by the Seller to deliver any one or more of the instalments in accordance with these Conditions or any claim by the Buyer in respect of any one or more instalments shall not entitle the Buyer to treat any other related contract as repudiated.

ACCEPTANCE

  • The Seller is a distributor of goods and the Buyer is exclusively responsible for detailing the specification of the Goods, for ascertaining the use to which they will be put and for determining their ability to function for that purpose.
  • The Buyer is required to test Goods upon delivery and shall be deemed to have accepted the Goods 7 working days after delivery to the Buyer. Accordingly, no claim for defect, damage or quality will be entertained (without prejudice to the Seller’s other rights pursuant to these Conditions) unless written notice together with all supporting evidence is received by the Seller within 7 working days of delivery. After acceptance, the Buyer shall not be entitled to reject Goods which are not in accordance with the contract.
  • The Buyer shall not remove or otherwise interfere with the marks or numbers on the Goods.
  • The Buyer shall accept delivery of the Goods tendered notwithstanding that the quantity so delivered shall be either greater or lesser than the quantity purchased provided that any such discrepancy shall not exceed 5%, the Price to be adjusted pro-rata to the discrepancy.

PASSING OF PROPERTY

Goods once delivered shall be at risk of the Buyer but shall remain the sole and absolute property of the Seller until payment in full is received by the Seller for the goods and there are no other amounts being outstanding from the Buyer to the Seller in respect of any other goods supplied by the Seller. If payment is overdue in whole or in part the Seller may (without prejudice to any of its other rights) recover or re-sell the goods or any part of them and may enter the premises where the goods are stored to reclaim possession.

  • Subject to these terms and conditions, the Buyer is permitted by the Seller to use or agree to sell the goods delivered but until such time as the Buyer becomes the owner of the goods, they shall be stored in such a way as to be clearly identifiable as belonging to the Seller.
  • If the goods are sold at such a time when the title to them remains vested in the Seller, the Buyer will hold the sale proceeds upon trust for the Company to the extent of and for the purpose of discharging the sums due to the Seller and upon receiving the sale proceeds will forthwith set aside sufficient of the sale proceeds to pay the Seller for all sums due in respect of the goods holding these funds on the joint and several sureties of the principal’s partners or directors of the Seller.
  • The Buyers power of use or sale of the goods shall automatically cease if such conditions as permit the Seller to terminate the contract arise.

CLAIMS

The Seller shall not be liable to the Buyer for damage, shortage or discrepancy that would be apparent on careful inspection of the goods by the Buyer unless such claim is notified within 24 hours of delivery (except in special circumstances justifying delay) and in any event in writing within 7 working days (time to be of the essence hereof) of the date of the delivery detailing the alleged damage shortage or discrepancy and providing a reasonable opportunity to the Seller to inspect the goods before they are put to any use.

  • The liability of the Seller in respect of any claim whatsoever, whether founded upon an allegation of negligence (except where the claim relates to personal injury of death) or otherwise and whether or not in respect of any damage shortage or discrepancy that would be apparent on a careful inspection by the Buyer, shall be limited to the free replacement of defective goods.

All other warranties, conditions or undertakings as to quality or description (howsoever made or implied) shall be excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law.
