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 from the Seller pursuant to these Conditions.
- Acceptance of delivery of the Goods shall be deemed conclusive evidence of the Buyer’s acceptance of these Conditions.
- Any variation to these Conditions (including any special terms and conditions agreed between the parties including without limitation as to discounts) shall be inapplicable unless agreed in writing by the Seller.
- Any advice, recommendation or representation given by the Seller or its employees or agents to the Buyer or its employees or agents as to the storage, application or use of the Goods or otherwise which is not confirmed in writing by the Seller is followed or acted upon entirely at the Buyer’s own risk, and accordingly, the Seller shall not be liable for any such advice, recommendation or representation which is not so confirmed.
- Nothing in these Conditions shall affect the statutory rights of any Buyer dealing as a consumer.
Description
- Any description given by the Seller in relation to the Goods is given by way of identification only
Payment
- Payment of the Price is due immediately upon placing an order.
- The Seller shall be entitled to charge interest on overdue invoices from the date when payment becomes due. Interest will accrue on any late payments from the date due, until the date the payment is made, at a rate of 2% per annum above the base rate of the Bank of England from time to time.
- If payment of all or any part of the Price is not made to the Seller by the due date, the Seller shall be entitled to:_
- require payment in advance of delivery;
- refuse to make delivery of any undelivered Goods, whether ordered under the contract or not, and without incurring any liability to the Buyer for non-delivery or any delay in delivery;
- appropriate any other payments made by the Buyer for any other Goods as the Seller may see fit
- terminate the contract.
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.
- The Seller will only deliver items to addresses in the United Kingdom.
- The Buyer agrees to carefully inspect the Goods on delivery. If an item is delivered to the Buyer in a damaged condition, the Buyer agrees to sign for the delivery stating the Goods are “damaged”. The Buyer agrees to notify the Seller within 7 days of delivery of any damage to the Goods (time being of the essence). In any notification of damage, the Buyer agrees to provide the Seller with photographic evidence of within 7 days. Any notification of damage made following 7 days after delivery will result in the Seller being unable to proceed with a claim from its courier, and therefore any refunds or replacements would be at the sole discretion of the Seller.
- Large items may be delivered on a pallet. The Buyer acknowledges that pallet deliveries will be made kerbside only due to carrier restrictions.
- The Buyer acknowledges that delivery is not provided by Seller, but is outsourced to a third-party company. The Seller therefore accepts no liability for delays incurred during haulage that may lead to the Buyer incurring costs of any kind.
Acceptance
- The Buyer is exclusively responsible for ascertaining the use to which Goods will be put and for determining their ability to function for that purpose. The Seller will only supply a specification for the Goods and it is for the Buyer to determine whether such Goods are suitable.
- 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 Goods shall be at the risk of the Buyer once delivery has taken place.
Right to Cancel
- The Buyer has a legal right to cancel the contract with the Seller within 14 days of delivery of the Goods without reason. This right, under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Charges) Regulations 2013. This right does not apply to bespoke Goods that the Seller has created to the Buyers specification or that are clearly personalised.
- The cancellation period will expire 14 days from the date on which the Buyer, or a third party indicated by the Buyer, other than the Sellers carrier, acquires physical possession of the Goods.
- To exercise the right to cancel, the Buyer must inform the Seller of their decision to cancel the contract by making a clear statement either in writing or by telephone. The buyer may wish to use the attached model cancellation form but it not required to do so:
- The Buyer may send communication concerning their desire to cancel the contract to the Seller before the cancellation period has expired.
- The Buyer has no right to cancel at any time if the order for Goods includes any modification or bespoke elements agreed at the order stage with the Seller once payment has been made.
Effects of Cancellation
- If the Buyer cancels their contract with the Seller within the 14 day period stated in clause 7, the Seller will reimburse the Buyer with all payments received from the Buyer.
- The Seller will make the refund to the Buyer without undue delay and not later than:-
- 14 days after the Seller is in receipt of the Goods returned from the Buyer at the buyers own cost; or
- 14 days after the Seller provides evidence that they have returned the Goods; or
- If there were no goods supplied; 14 days after the day on which the Buyer informs the Seller of their wish to cancel the contract.
- The Seller will refund any payments made by the Buyer using the same means of payment used for the initial transaction.
- The Seller reserves the right to withhold any refunds until they are in receipt of the Goods, or the Buyer has provided sufficient evidence to the Seller that the Goods have been returned. What constitutes “sufficient evidence” is at the sole discretion of the Seller.
- The Seller reserves the right to make a deduction from the refund due to the Buyer in respect of any cancelled contract to cover any loss in value of the Goods supplied, if such loss is as a result of actions taken by the Buyer resulting in unreasonable wear and tear and handling other than what is necessary to inspect the Goods and establish the functionality of the Goods.
Faulty Goods
- If the Goods are faulty, the Buyer may return the Goods to the Seller and the Seller will reimburse the Buyer with the full cost of the Goods plus any delivery charges incurred in returning the Goods to the Seller (excluding costs associated with returning a product in person). All consumers have legal rights in relation to faulty products or products sold not as described and these rights are not affected by the returns policy stated in this clause 9 or any other general terms of sale contained within this document.
Return of Products
- If the Buyer wishes to cancel the contract in accordance with Clause 7 above, then the Goods must be returned to the Seller within 14 days of the date that the Buyer exercised their right to cancel. The Buyer must arrange for the Goods to be returned to the Seller and the Buyer is responsible for all costs associated with return.
- Buyers must ensure any Goods returned are packaged in the same way as received, in order to prevent unnecessary damage to the product.
