3 Basis of Sale

  • The Terms and Conditions set out in this document control the sale of Goods by the Seller to the Buyer. These Terms and Conditions form the entire and only agreement between the parties in relation thereto. The Seller’s acceptance of the Order by delivery of the Goods forms a legally binding contract between the parties on these Terms and Conditions.
  • No variation to these Terms and Conditions, or to the Contract, shall be binding unless agreed in writing between the authorised representatives of the Buyer and the Seller.
  • All orders placed by the Buyer are on the basis of these Terms and Conditions and are subject to acceptance by the Seller by delivery of the Goods to the Buyer at which point a legally binding contract is constituted between the parties. The processing of payment and acknowledgment of the Buyer’s Order does not constitute legal acceptance of the Order.
  • These Terms and Conditions supersede all previous terms and conditions issued by the Seller and the Buyer agrees to be governed by them in all matters arising from the purchase of Goods from the Seller.
  • Sales literature, price lists and other documents issued by the Seller in relation to the Goods are subject to alteration without notice and do not constitute offers to sell the Goods which are capable of acceptance. No contract for the sale of the Goods shall be binding on the Seller unless the Seller has issued a quotation which is expressed to be an offer to sell the goods or has accepted an order placed by the Buyer by whichever is the earlier of:
    • the Seller’s written acceptance;
    • delivery of the Goods; or
    • the Seller's invoice.
  • Any typographical, clerical or other accidental errors or omissions in any sales literature, quotation, price list, acceptance of offer, invoice or other document or information issued by the Seller shall be subject to correction without any liability on the part of the Seller.

4 Price and Payment

  • The price payable for the Goods is as set out on the Seller’s website at the time the Order is placed or, if an order is placed from one of the Seller’s catalogues, as set out in the catalogue from which the order is placed (provided it is a current catalogue), plus any charges for insurance and carriage as set out in the Seller’s current applicable catalogue.
  • Where the Seller has quoted a price for the Goods other than in accordance with the Seller’s published price list the price quoted shall be valid for the time as the Seller may specify.
  • Subject to clause 4.4, the Seller must receive payment for the whole of the price of the Goods ordered, and any applicable charges for packaging, insurance and delivery, before the Order can be accepted unless the Seller has agreed otherwise in advance in writing.
  • If the Buyer is an account customer, payment shall be made in full within 30 Working Days s of the date of the Seller’s invoice or otherwise in accordance with such credit terms as may have been agreed in writing between the Buyer and the Seller in respect of the Contract. Time shall be of the essence for payment. The Seller may revoke credit if the Buyer fails to make payment when due. If payment is not made when due, interest is payable at the rate of 4 per cent over the HSBC Plc base lending rate from time to time on the amount outstanding from the due date for payment until receipt by the Seller of the full amount (including any accrued interest) whether before or after judgment, together with any reasonable legal or other recovery costs.
  • On occasion, the prices payable for Goods advertised on the Seller’s website may differ from those prices offered in the then current catalogue, and the Seller is under no obligation to honour any web site price if there is such a difference. Occasionally, the Seller advertises Goods at a promotional price; the Buyer must quote the relevant promotion code otherwise the Buyer may be charged the full price
  • The Buyer is responsible for all orders placed by its authorised employees and the Seller is not bound by any individual order limit the Buyer may impose on its authorised employees. The Buyer must inform the Seller in writing as soon as a relevant employee is no longer authorised to place and receive Orders.
  • The Contract Price is exclusive of any applicable value added tax (VAT), excise, sales taxes or levies of a similar nature which are imposed or charged by any competent fiscal authority in respect of the Goods, which the Buyer shall be additionally liable to pay to the Seller.
  • Occasionally an error may occur and Goods may be incorrectly priced in which circumstances the Seller will not be obliged to supply the Goods at the incorrect price, but will inform the Buyer of the correct valid price to enable the Buyer to re-order.
  • Prices are valid unless the Seller requires for commercial reasons to vary any price during the current catalogue period it will notify the Buyer at the point of order or otherwise in its issued literature.
  • No payment transaction will be completed until immediately prior to the point of despatch.
