2.1          All quotations are made and all orders are accepted by the Company subject only to these Conditions, which shall prevail to the exclusion of any other terms including any conditions, warranties or representations written or oral, express or implied, even if contained in any of the Customer’s documents which purport to provide that the Customer’s own terms shall prevail. Any representations about any Goods shall have no effect unless expressly agreed in writing and signed by an authorised signatory of the Company.
2.2          All quotations are given on the basis that no Contract shall come into existence until the Company accepts the Customer’s order in accordance with the provisions of Condition 2.4.

3.1          The quantity and description of the Goods shall be as set out in the Company’s acceptance of the Customer’s order issued pursuant to Condition 2.4.
3.2          The Company may correct any typographical or other errors or omissions in any brochure, promotional literature, quotation or other document relating to the sale of the Goods without any liability to the Customer.
3.3          All samples, drawings, descriptive matter, specifications and advertising issued by the Company and any descriptions or illustrations contained in the Company’s website, catalogues or brochures or otherwise issued by the Company are issued or published for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the Goods described in them and they shall not form a part of the Contract.

If the Company requests any other variation to the Goods or any other obligation of the Company under the Contract, the Customer shall not unreasonably withhold or delay consent to it.
3.5          If the Customer wishes the Company to effect any variation to the Goods or any other obligation of either party under the Contract, the Company has no obligation to do so unless and until the parties have agreed in writing on the necessary variations to the price of the Goods and any other relevant terms of the Contract to take account of the change.
3.6          Subject to the provisions of Condition 9.1.2, the Customer shall be solely responsible for ensuring the suitability of any Goods for any specific purpose.

4.1          Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Company, delivery of the Goods shall take place at the Company’s place of business.
4.2          Any dates specified by the Company for delivery of the Goods are intended to be an estimate and time for delivery shall not be made of the essence by notice. If no dates are so specified, delivery shall be within a reasonable time.
4.3          Delivery dates and periods shall be extended as necessary if any delay in delivery is caused as set out in Condition 7.3 of these Conditions or due to any other circumstances beyond the control of the Company.
4.4          The Customer may request earlier delivery dates than those originally agreed and the Company will at their discretion endeavour to accommodate such requests providing that sufficient notice is given. Any additional costs associated with achieving an earlier delivery date will be for the Customer’s sole account.
4.5          The Company shall not be liable for any direct, indirect or consequential loss (all three of which terms include, without limitation, pure economic loss, loss of profits, loss of business, depletion of goodwill and similar loss), costs, damages, charges or expenses caused directly or indirectly by any delay in the delivery of the Goods (even if caused by the Company’s negligence), nor shall any delay entitle the Customer to terminate or rescind the Contract unless such delay exceeds 180 days.
4.6          The Customer must examine the Goods upon delivery and within 3 days thereafter notify the Company in writing of any defects. In default the Customer will be deemed to have examined and accepted the Goods.
4.7          If for any reason the Customer fails to take or accept delivery of any or all of the Goods, or the Company is unable to deliver the Goods on time because the Customer has not provided appropriate instructions, documents, licences or authorisations:

4.8          The Company may deliver the Goods by separate instalments. Each separate instalment shall be invoiced and paid for in accordance with the provisions of the Contract.
4.9          Each instalment shall be a separate Contract and no cancellation or termination of any one Contract relating to an instalment shall entitle the Customer to repudiate or cancel any other Contract or instalment.

5            Non-Delivery
5.1          The quantity of any consignment of Goods as recorded by the Company on despatch from the Company’s place of business shall be conclusive evidence of the quantity received by the Customer on delivery unless the Customer can provide conclusive evidence proving the contrary.
5.2          The Company shall not be liable for any non-delivery of the Goods (even if caused by the Company’s negligence) unless the Customer gives written notice to the Company of the non-delivery within 3 days of the time when the Goods would in the ordinary course of events have been received.
5.3          Any liability of the Company for non-delivery of the Goods shall be limited to replacing the Goods within a reasonable time or issuing a credit note at the pro rata Contract rate against any invoice raised for such Goods.

6            Risk and Title
6.1          Risk of damage to or loss of the Goods shall pass to the Customer:
6.1.1          in the case of Goods to be delivered at the Company’s place of business, at the time when the Company notifies the Customer  that the Goods are available for collection; or
6.1.2          in the case of Goods to be delivered other than at the Company’s place of business, at the time of delivery of the Goods to the Customer’s premises, or such other location as shall be notified by the Customer to the Company in advance of despatch of the Goods.
Conditions 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4 shall only apply to Customers who are business customers.

6.2          Title to the Goods shall not pass to the Customer until the Company has received in full (in cash or cleared funds) all sums due to it in respect of:
6.2.1          the Goods; and
6.2.2          all other sums which are or which become due to the Company from the Customer on any account.
6.3          Until title to the Goods has passed to the Customer, the Customer shall:
6.3.1          hold the Goods on a fiduciary basis as the Company’s bailee;
6.3.2          store the Goods separately from all other goods held by the Customer so that they remain readily identifiable as the Company’s property;
6.3.3          not remove, deface or obscure any identifying mark or packaging on or relating to the Goods;
6.3.4          maintain the Goods in satisfactory condition and keep them insured against all risks for their full price from the date of delivery and indemnify the Company against all loss or damage of whatsoever nature affecting the Goods;
6.3.5          notify the Company immediately if it becomes subject to any of the events listed in Condition 12.1.3 to 12.1.5 inclusive;
6.3.6          not assign to any other person any rights arising from a sale of the Goods without the Company’s written consent (and then only subject to a set of terms and conditions containing a Risk and Title clause which is at least as onerous as this Condition 6);
6.3.7          not pledge or in any way charge by way of security for any indebtedness any of the Goods (and if the Customer does so, all moneys owing by the Customer to the Company shall, without prejudice to any other right or remedy of the Company, forthwith become due and payable); and
6.3.8          give the Company such information relating to the Goods as the Company may require from time to time, but the Customer may resell or use the Goods in the ordinary course of its business, provided that it shall hold the entire proceeds of any such resale upon trust for the Company until the Goods have been paid for in full and shall keep all such trust monies in a separate bank account which shall not be overdrawn and in which such trust monies are not mingled with its own or any other monies. The Customer acknowledges and agrees that a sale by an administrator or liquidator as part of or in connection with the sale of the assets or part of the assets of the Customer is not in the ordinary course of the Customer’s business.
6.4          If:
6.4.1          the Customer is late in paying for the Goods; or
6.4.2          the Customer is late in paying for any other goods supplied by the Company; or if
6.4.3          before title to the Goods passes to the Customer, the Customer becomes subject to any of the events listed in Condition 12.1.3 to 12.1.5  inclusive, then:
6.4.4          without limiting any other right or remedy the Company may have, the Company may at any time require the Customer to deliver up the Goods and, if the Customer fails to do so promptly, the Company may enter the premises of the Customer or the premises of any third party where the Goods are stored or kept in order to recover them and all and any costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Company in so taking possession of the Goods (including legal fees) shall be payable by the Customer upon demand. The Customer shall not keep the Goods at any premises at which the Customer does not have the right to grant access to the Company. Nothing in this Condition 6.4.4 shall affect the right of the Company at any time to inspect the Goods whilst the Goods are stored or kept at the Customer’s premises or the premises of any third party.

7            Price
7.1          Unless otherwise agreed by the Company in writing, the price for the Goods shall be the price confirmed in the Company’s acceptance of the Customer’s order issued pursuant to Condition 2.4, but the Company reserves the right to vary the price and to invoice the Customer at the price ruling at the date of delivery of the Goods.
7.2          If the cost to the Company of performing the Company’s obligations under the Contract shall be increased by reason of the making or amendment of any law or of any order, regulation, or by-law having the force of law that shall affect the performance of the Company’s obligations under the Contract, the amount of such increase shall be added to the Contract price.
7.3          The Company reserves the right, by giving notice to the Customer, to increase the price of the Goods to reflect any increase in any cost to the Company which is due to any factor beyond the control of the Company (including any foreign exchange fluctuation, currency regulation, imposition or alteration of taxes, duties, or other levies, any increase in transportation costs and any increase in the costs of labour, materials, fuel or other costs of production), or if there is any change in delivery dates, quantities or specifications for the Goods which is requested by the Customer, or if there is any increase in any cost to the Company which is in any other way attributable to the Customer.
7.4          Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Company, the Contract price shall be exclusive of Value Added Tax which will be charged at the rate which is applicable at the date of delivery of the Goods.
7.5          Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Company, all transportation, packaging and carriage costs related to the delivery of the Goods (including the cost of all related insurance coverage and the cost of loading and unloading the Goods) shall be borne by the Customer.
7.6          Any waiver or reduction of any price will only be applicable if agreed by the Company in writing.

8            Payment
8.1          The Company shall be entitled to invoice the Customer for the price of the Goods on or at any time after acceptance of the Customer’s order.
8.2          Unless the Company has stipulated that payment for the Goods shall be made in advance, settlement terms will be net within 7 days following the date of the corresponding invoice.
8.3          The time of payment of the price shall be of the essence of the Contract.
8.4          No payment shall be deemed to have been received until the Company has received cleared funds. In the event that the Customer tenders payment by cheque and said cheque is returned unpaid to the Company, the Customer shall reimburse the Company for any bank charges incurred by the Company.
8.5          The Customer shall make all payments due under the Contract in full without any deduction whether by way of set-off, counterclaim, discount, abatement or otherwise.
8.6          Any failure by the Customer to pay the Company any sum by the due date for payment and/or the occurrence of any one or more of the events set forth in Condition 12.1.3 to 12.1.5 inclusive shall entitle the Company, at any time and without notice or liability to the Customer and without limiting any other remedy available to the Company under these Conditions, the Contract, or otherwise, at its option:
8.6.1          to charge interest at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum above Lloyds Bank plc’s base lending rate from time to time calculated on a daily basis (whether before or after any judgment) until payment in full is made (a part of a month being treated as a full month for the purpose of calculating interest);
8.6.2          to charge the Customer with any costs incurred by the Company in the course of collecting outstanding monies due to the Company from the Customer;
8.6.3          to suspend any warranty for the Goods or any other goods supplied by the Company to the Customer, whether or not they have been paid for;
8.6.4          to appropriate any payment made by the Customer to such of the Goods as the Company may think fit;

8.7          The Company reserves the right to claim interest under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998.
8.8          All payments payable to the Company under the Contract shall become due immediately on its termination despite any other provision.
8.9          For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding the exercise of any remedy by the Company in accordance with Condition 8.6, or under any other of these Conditions, the Contract, or otherwise, the Customer shall remain liable to pay and shall pay the Company at the Contract rate, any and all payments subsisting at the relevant time.
8.10        The Company shall retain a general lien on the full value of all Goods until such Goods (together with any other goods sold to the Customer by the Company under any other contract) have been fully paid for.

9            Warranties
9.1          The Company warrants that upon delivery:
9.1.1          the Goods will correspond in all material respects with any specification submitted by the Customer and shall be free from any material defects; and
9.1.2          if the Customer has made it expressly known to the Company in the Customer’s order that the Goods shall be suitable for a particular purpose and the Company has expressly stated in the Company’s acceptance of the Customer’s order issued pursuant to Condition 2.4 that it will supply Goods suitable for that purpose, then the Goods shall be reasonably fit for the purpose so stated.
9.2          The Company shall not be liable for a breach of any of the warranties in Condition 9.1 unless:
9.2.1          the Customer gives written notice of any defect in the Goods to the Company within 3 days from the delivery date of the Goods; and
9.2.2          the Company is given a reasonable opportunity after receiving the notice of examining the Goods and the Customer returns such Goods to the Company’s place of business at the Company’s cost for the examination to take place there, or at the option of the Company, the Goods are made available at the Customer’s premises for inspection by the Company.
9.3          The Company shall not be liable for a breach of any of the warranties in Condition 9.1 if:
9.3.1          the Customer makes any further use of any Goods which the Customer has alleged to be defective after giving notice of any such defect; or
9.3.2          the defect arises because the Customer failed to follow any oral or written instructions as to the use or storage of the Goods or (if there are none) good trade practice; or
9.3.3          the defect arises from any instructions or from any specification submitted by the Customer, or from fair wear and tear, wilful damage, negligence, or from any misuse of the Goods; or
9.3.4          the full price for the Goods has not been paid by the time for payment referred to in Condition 8.2; or
9.3.5          the defect is of a type specifically excluded by the Company by notice in writing.
9.4          Subject to Condition 9.2 and Condition 9.3, if the Goods do not conform to the applicable warranties in Condition 9.1:

9.5          For the avoidance of doubt (but without prejudice to the provisions of Condition 9.4.1), the failure of any part of the Goods to conform to the applicable warranties in Condition 9.1 shall only render the Company liable to replace or credit the value of that part of the Goods which is defective and shall not entitle the Customer to cancel the remainder of the Contract.
9.6          If the Company complies with Condition 9.4 it shall have no further liability for any breach of the applicable warranties in Condition 9.1.
9.7          Without prejudice to the foregoing provisions of this Condition 9, if the Customer is contracting with the Company as a consumer, Conditions 9.8-9.9 summarise the Customer’s key legal rights in relation to the Goods, which are subject to certain exceptions.

9.8.1          up to 30 days: if the Goods are damaged or faulty, then the Customer can get a refund;

14.7       The Contract will relate only to those Goods whose dispatch the Company has verified in the Dispatch Notification.  The Company will not be obliged to supply any other Goods which may have been part of the Customer’s order until the dispatch of such Goods has been verified in a separate Dispatch Notification.

14.17     All prices and charges shown on the site are in UK pounds sterling, which is the currency in which the Customer will be billed.
14.18     Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which the Company has already sent the Customer a Dispatch Notification.
14.19     The site contains a large number of Goods and it is always possible that, despite the Company’s best efforts, some of the Goods listed on the site may be incorrectly priced.  The Company will normally verify prices as part of the Company’s dispatch procedures so that, where the correct price of the Goods is less than the Company’s stated price, the Company will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Goods to the Customer.  If the correct price of the Goods is higher than the price stated on the site, the Company will normally, at the Company’s discretion, either contact the Customer for instructions before dispatching the Goods, or reject the Customer’s order and notify the Customer of such rejection.
14.20     The Company is under no obligation to provide the Goods to the Customer at the incorrect (lower) price, even after the Company has sent the Customer a Dispatch Notification, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by the Customer as a mispricing.
14.21     Payment in full for all Goods is required at point of sale. Goods will not be dispatched until full payment has been received; this will not be deemed to have occurred until the credit or debit card used by the Customer to make payment has been verified. The Company accepts payment with the following credit and debit cards, Visa and MasterCard.
14.22     The Customer will have statutory cancellation rights if the Customer is contracting with the Company as a consumer and the Contract is a distance contract or off-premises contract within the meaning of the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 (the “Regulations”).
14.23     Under the Regulations, a consumer may cancel a Contract (without giving any reason for cancellation) at any time within the period:
14.23.1      beginning upon the submission of the Customer’s order; and
14.23.2      ending at the end of 14 days after the day on which the Goods come into the Customer’s physical possession or the physical possession of a person identified by the Customer to take possession of them (or, if the Contract is for the supply of multiple Goods, lots or pieces of something, 14 days after the day on which the last of those Goods, lots or pieces comes into the Customer’s physical possession or the physical possession of a person identified by the Customer to take possession of them).
14.24     In order to cancel a Contract on the basis described in Condition 14.23, the Customer must inform the Company of the Customer’s decision to cancel. The Customer may inform the Company by means of any clear statement setting out the decision. To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for the Customer to send the Customer’s communication concerning the exercise of the right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired.
14.25     The Customer must send the Goods back to the Company or hand them over to the Company or a person authorised by the Company to receive them. The Customer must comply with the Customer’s obligations referred to in this Condition 14.25 without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days after the day on which the Customer informs the Company of the Customer’s decision to cancel the Contract. The Customer must pay the direct cost of returning the Goods.
14.26     If the Customer cancels a Contract on the basis described in Condition 14.23, the Customer will receive a full refund of the amount the Customer paid to the Company in respect of the order.
14.27     If the value of the Goods returned by the Customer is diminished by any amount as a result of the handling of those Goods by the Customer beyond what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the Goods, the Company may recover that amount from the Customer. The Company may recover that amount by deducting it from any refund due to the Customer or require the Customer to pay that amount direct to the Company. Handling which goes beyond the sort of handling that might reasonably be allowed in a store will be “beyond what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the Goods” for these purposes.
14.28     Unless the Company has offered to collect the Goods, the Company will process a refund due to the Customer as a result of a cancellation on the basis described in Condition 14.23 within the period of 14 days after the day on which the Company receives the returned Goods or (if earlier) after the day on which the Customer supplies to the Company evidence of having sent the Goods back. If the Company has not sent the Goods to the Customer at the time of cancellation or has offered to collect the Goods, the Company will process a refund due to the Customer without undue delay and, in any case, within the period of 14 days after the day on which the Company is informed of the cancellation.
14.29     The cancellation right described in Condition 14.23 is in addition to any other right that the Customer might have to reject the Goods, for instance because they are faulty or defective.
14.30     The Customer will not have the right to cancel a Contract on the basis described in Condition 14.23 in respect of any Goods which are ordered, made or customised in accordance with the Customer’s specific requirements.
14.31     If the Customer does not satisfy the criteria for exercising the statutory cancellation rights described in Conditions 14.22-14.30, the Customer may not cancel the Contract unless otherwise agreed with the Company in writing and such agreement will only be given, subject to the payment of adequate compensation and expenses incurred in connection with the Contract and for any loss of profit. The Company may in addition impose a cancellation, restocking and administrative charge at its discretion.
