2 Conditions Applicable

2.1 These Terms and Conditions shall apply to and govern all contracts for the sale of goods entered into by the Company.  All conditions of the Customer or other terms and conditions or warranties whatsoever are excluded from the contract or any variation thereof unless expressly accepted by the Company in writing, and these terms and conditions shall be deemed to be incorporated in any quotation received from the Company and the Customer’s own conditions shall not be regarded as a counter offer.

2.2 The exercise by the Company of any right pursuant to these Terms and Conditions shall be without prejudice to any other right available to it whether hereunder or under general law.

 

3 Quotations

3.1 The Customer acknowledges that no contract was entered into in reliance on any representations other than those incorporated in the Company's quotation and these Conditions, and particularly no catalogue or price list shall form part of the contract documents.

3.2 A quotation by the Company shall not constitute an offer and there shall be no binding contract until the Company has confirmed acceptance of an order placed by the Customer, either in writing or by fulfilling that order. Telephone orders will not be despatched without a signed faxed confirmation of order.

3.3 Unless otherwise specifically stated, all prices quoted by the Company are exclusive of Value Added Tax, which shall be due at the rate in force on the date of the Company’s invoice to the Customer.

3.4 Quotations assume the accuracy of information provided the Customer and are not valid in the event of any information supplied to the Company being incomplete, inaccurate, or misleading. Any modifications to specifications required after the Company has provided a quote will entail an extra charge being raised at a reasonable rate having regard to the nature of the modification.

 

4 Packaging

4.1 Due to customer demand, if the preferred packaging is not available, an alternative will be offered. Additional charges may be incurred for special packaging requirements. Such requirements must be notified to the Company at the time of Order if the Customer requires agreement of a fixed price, otherwise the Company reserves the right to make a reasonable charge for such requirements.

If an order is received from a customer by 4pm the Company will endeavour to dispatch the ordered goods, the same day. However, delivery dates and times specified by the Company are approximate only.

The Customer shall make all arrangements necessary to take delivery of goods whenever they are tendered for delivery.

5.2 If goods are sold and delivered to the Customer in instalments each delivery shall constitute a separate contract, and failure by the Company to deliver any one or more of the instalments or any claim by the Customer in respect of any one or more instalments shall not entitle the Customer to treat the contract as a whole as repudiated. Further the Customer shall have no right of set-off against any monies due to the Company under this or any other contract.

Delivery charges / costs shown on the Company’s invoice(s) are also payable by the customer to the Company.
