Terms and Conditions
1.
GENERAL
Unless varied in writing and signed by our authorised representative all our contracts for the sale of goods or services are subject to the following terms of business to the exclusion of any terms which you may purport to apply under any purchase order, confirmation of order or any similar document.
2.
PRICE
2.1
The price shall be our quoted price and unless previously withdrawn our quotation is valid for the period stated therein or, when no such period is stated, for a period of 30 days from the date of the quotation. The price is exclusive of value added tax (“VATâ€) which shall be due at the rate ruling on the date of the VAT invoice.
2.2
We reserve the right to increase the price to reflect any increase in our costs due to any factor beyond our control (including, without limitation, currency fluctuation or alteration of taxes or duties, increase in the costs of manufacture or any delay caused by lack of sufficient information from you or the nature of your instructions).
2.3
The price for goods shall be on an ex works basis unless otherwise agreed, in writing, to deliver the goods when you will be liable for the costs of loading and unloading, transport, packaging and insurance.
3.
ACCEPTANCE
3.1
No written or verbal order submitted by you shall be deemed to be accepted by us until confirmed in writing by our authorised representative.
3.2
You will be responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the order (including any specification) and for giving us any necessary information within a sufficient time to enable us to perform the contract.
3.3
If the goods are manufacture to your specification you will indemnify us against any loss, damages, costs and expenses incurred by us in connection with any claim for infringement of any intellectual property rights of any other person or breach of health and safety regulations which result from our use or reliance upon your specification.
3.4
We reserve the right to make any changes in the specification of the goods which are required by applicable safety or statutory requirements or otherwise do not materially affect their quality or performance.
3.5
Save as set out in clause 2.2 above no order which has been accepted by us may be cancelled by you except with our agreement in writing and on such terms as we may specify.
4.
PERFORMANCE
We do not accept liability for failure to attain any performance figures quoted by us unless we have specifically guaranteed them in writing and subject to any tolerances specified or agreed to by us. In that event our liability is limited to a maximum of the contract price.
5.
DELIVERY OF GOODS AND SERVICES

Delivery of the goods shall be made by you collecting the goods from our premises at any time after we have notified you that they are ready for collection or, if some other place for delivery is agreed by us, by our delivery of the goods to that place.
5.2
Any dates quoted for production, despatch or delivery of the goods or performance of the services are estimates only and we shall not be liable for any delay beyond our reasonable control.

We shall have no further liability to you.
5.3
Where delivery is by installment each delivery shall constitute a separate contract and we reserve the right to issue any invoice for payment in respect of each installment. However failure by us to deliver any installment does not entitle you to treat the contract as a whole as repudiated.

sell the goods at the best price reasonably obtainable; or

You must hold the goods for inspection to enable a claim to be made on the carrier.
7.
RETENTION OF TITLE
The goods shall be at your risk as from delivery but title will not pass until you have paid the price in full and no other sums whatever are due from you. We shall be entitled to record the price plus VAT and any interest due even if title has not passed.
