NOTE - YOUR ATTENTION IS DRAWN IN PARTICULAR TO THE PROVISIONS OF CLAUSE 9.

1 Basis of contract 1.1 These terms apply to the contract between us (Contract) to the exclusion of any other terms that you seek to impose or incorporate, or which are implied by trade, custom, practice or course of dealing. 1.2 Your order (Order) constitutes an offer by you to purchase the goods set out in it (Goods) in accordance with these terms. You are responsible for ensuring that the terms of the Order are complete and accurate. 1.3 The Order shall only be deemed to be accepted when we issue a written acceptance of the Order, at which point the Contract shall come into existence. 1.4 You waive any right you might otherwise have to rely on any term endorsed upon, delivered with or contained in any of your documents that is inconsistent with these terms. 2 Price 2.1 The price of the Goods excludes VAT (unless otherwise stated). You will additionally be liable to pay VAT at the prevailing rate. 2.2 A quotation for the Goods given by us shall not constitute an offer. Our quotations lapse after 45 days from date of issue (unless otherwise stated). 2.3 The price quoted excludes delivery (unless otherwise stated). You will additionally be liable to pay the cost of delivery where we arrange delivery. 2.4 You will additionally be liable to pay any tax and duties on the Goods at the rates prevailing at the relevant time. 2.5 We may, by giving notice to you at any time before delivery, increase the price of the Goods to reflect any increase in the cost of the Goods that is due to: 2.5.1 any factor beyond our control (including foreign exchange fluctuations, increases in the price at which we are are able to purchase the Goods, increases in taxes and duties, and increases in labour, materials and other manufacturing costs); 2.5.2 any request by you to change the delivery date(s), quantities or types of Goods ordered, or any specification; or 2.5.3 any delay caused by any of your instructions or failure on your part to give us adequate or accurate information or instructions. 3. Delivery 3.1 All delivery times quoted are estimates only. 3.2 If we fail to deliver within a reasonable time, you may (informing us in writing) cancel the Contract, however: 3.2.1 you may not cancel if we receive your notice after the Goods have been dispatched; and 3.2.2 if you cancel the Contract you can have no further claim against us under that Contract. 3.2 If you accept delivery of the Goods after the estimated delivery time, it will be on that basis that you have no claim against us for delay (including indirect or consequential loss, or increase in the price of the Goods). 3.3 We may deliver the Goods in instalments. Each instalment is treated as a separate Contract which shall be invoiced and paid for separately. Any delay in delivery or defect in an instalment shall not entitle you to cancel any other instalment. 4 Delivery and Safety Where we are arranging delivery to your premises we may decline to deliver if: 4.1 we believe that it would be unsafe, unlawful or unreasonably difficult to do so; or 4.2 the premises (or access to them) are unsuitable for the delivery vehicle. 5 Payment terms 5.1 You are to pay us prior to delivery of Goods by either cheque or credit card unless you have a credit account agreed by us. 5.2 If you have a credit account agreed by us, payment is due no later than 30 days after the date of invoice unless otherwise agreed by us in writing. 5.3 If you fail to pay us in full on the due date: 5.3.1 we may suspend future deliveries to you under the Contract or any other Contract; 5.3.2 we may cancel any discount offered to you; 5.3.3 you must pay interest at the rate equivalent to that set for the purposes of the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998: (a) calculated (on a daily basis) from the date of the invoice until payment (b) compounded on the first day of each calendar month; and (c) before and after any judgment (unless court orders state otherwise) 5.3.4 we may claim fixed sum compensation from you under s.5A of that Act to cover our credit control overhead costs; and 5.3.5 we may recover (under clause 5.7) the cost of taking legal action to make you pay. 5.4 If you have a credit account agreed by us, we may withdraw it or reduce your credit at any time by written notice to you. If we do so you must immediately pay any amount outstanding under the Contract or any other Contract which is in excess of your revised credit limit (if any). 5.5 You do not have the right to set off any money you may claim from us against any money you may owe us. 5.6 While you owe money to us, we have the right to keep any property we may hold of yours until you have paid us in full (a lien) 5.7 You are to indemnify us in full and hold us harmless from all expenses and liabilities we may incur (directly or indirectly including financing costs and including legal costs on a full indemnity basis) following any breach by you of any of your obligations under the Contract or these terms. 6 Title 6.1 Until you pay all your debts you may owe us and we receive payment of those debts in cleared funds: (a) title in the Goods shall not pass to you and shall remain our property (b) you must not remove, deface or obscure any identifying mark or packaging on or relating to the Goods (c) you must store them separately from Goods belonging to third parties, clearly mark them as our property and allow us access to your premises to verify this has been done 6.2 Upon delivery, you must insure the Goods with a reputable insurance company and note our interest in the Goods as an interested party; 6.3 You may use those Goods and sell them in the ordinary course of business, unless: (a) we revoke that right (by informing you in writing); or (b) you become insolvent, unable to pay your debts as they become due or take steps or enter into any arrangement with your creditors ; or (c) you suspend, threaten to suspend, cease or threaten to cease to carry on all or a substantial part of your business 6.4 You must inform us (in writing) immediately if you become insolvent, unable to pay your debts or take steps to enter into any arrangement with your creditors 6.5 We have the right to enter any premises where the Goods may be stored: (a) at any time to inspect them; and (b) after your right to use and sell them has ended, to remove them, using reasonable force if necessary. 6.6 If before title to the Goods has passed to you, you become subject to any of the events listed in clause 6.3 then, without limiting any other right or remedy that we may have: (a) your right to resell the Goods or use them in the ordinary course of its business ceases immediately; and (b) we may at any time: (i) require you to deliver up all our Goods in your possession that have not been resold, or irrevocably incorporated into another product; and (ii) if you fail to do so promptly, enter any premises of yours or of any third party where the Goods are stored in order to recover them. 6.7 Without limiting our rights to other remedies, we reserve the right to take legal action against you to recover the price of Goods supplied should you not pay us by the due date. 6.8 You are not our agent.
