3.1 The Supplier shall ensure that:

3.1.1 each delivery of the Goods is accompanied by a delivery note which shows the date of the Order, and the type and quantity of the Goods being delivered; and

3.1.2 it states clearly on the delivery note any requirement for the Customer to return any packaging material to the Supplier. The Customer shall make any such packaging materials available for collection at such times as the Supplier shall reasonably request. Returns of packaging materials shall be at the Supplier’s expense.

3.2 The Supplier shall deliver the Goods to the location set out in the Order or such other location as the parties may agree (“Delivery Location”) at any time after the Supplier notifies the Customer that the Goods are ready.

3.3 Unless specified by the Supplier in writing to the Customer, delivery of the Goods shall be completed on the completion of unloading the Goods at the Delivery Location.

3.4 Any dates quoted for delivery of the Goods are approximate only, and the time of delivery is not of the essence. The Supplier shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of the Goods that is caused by a Force Majeure Event or the Customer’s failure to provide the Supplier with adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the Goods.

3.5 The Supplier shall have no liability for any failure to deliver the Goods to the extent that such failure is caused by a Force Majeure Event or the Customer’s failure to provide the Supplier with adequate delivery instructions for the Goods or any relevant instruction related to the supply of the Goods.

3.6 If the Customer fails to accept delivery of the Goods within 3 Business Days of the Supplier notifying the Customer that the Goods are ready, then except where such failure or delay is caused by a Force Majeure Event or by the Supplier’s failure to comply with its obligations under the Contract in respect of the Goods:

3.8 The Supplier may deliver the Goods by instalments, which shall be invoiced and paid for separately. Each instalment shall constitute a separate contract. Any delay in delivery or defect in an instalment shall not entitle the Customer to cancel any other instalment.

4.International Delivery

4.1 Subject to the next sentence, the Supplier may also deliver the Goods to countries outside the United Kingdom. However, there are restrictions on some of the Goods for certain destinations where the Supplier has limited rights details of which are available on the Website which the Customer must review before placing an Order for the Goods.

4.2 If the Customer orders Goods for delivery to a destination outside the United Kingdom, the Order may be subject to import duties and taxes which are applied when the delivery of the Goods reaches its destination. It is the responsibility of the Customer to be responsible for those charges and the Customer acknowledges the Supplier has no control over these charges and cannot predict their amount.

4.3 The Customer must comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the country for which the Goods are destined and obtain any necessary licences required in order for the Supplier to be able to deliver the Goods to the relevant country. The Supplier will not be liable or responsible if the Customer is in breach of any such law or if the Goods cannot be delivered.

5.Quality of Goods

5.1 Some of the Goods supplied by the Supplier come with a manufacturer’s guarantee. The terms and conditions of any manufacturer’s guarantee provided will be included with the Goods and should be reviewed by the Customer on delivery.

5.2 For Goods which do not have a manufacturer’s guarantee, the Supplier warrants that on delivery, and for a period of 12 months from the date of delivery (“warranty period”), the Goods shall:

5.2.1 conform in all material respects with their description;

5.2.2 be free from material defects in design, material and workmanship; and

5.2.3 be of satisfactory quality (within the meaning of the Sale of Goods Act 1979).

5.3 Subject to clause 5.4, the Supplier shall, at its option, repair or replace the defective Goods, or refund the price of the defective Goods in full if:

5.3.1 the Customer gives notice in writing during the warranty period within a reasonable time of discovery that some or all of the Goods do not comply with the warranty set out in clauses 5.1 and 5.2;

5.3.2 the Supplier is given a reasonable opportunity of examining such Goods; and

5.3.3 the Customer (if asked to do so by the Supplier) returns such Goods to the Supplier’s place of business at the Customer’s cost.

5.4 The Supplier shall not be liable for the Goods’ failure to comply with the warranty in clause 5.1 if:

5.4.1 the Customer makes any further use of such Goods after giving a notice in accordance with clause 5.3;

5.4.2 the defect arises because the Customer failed to follow the Supplier’s oral or written instructions as to the storage, installation, commissioning, use or maintenance of the Goods or (if there are none) good trade practice;

5.4.3 the defect arises as a result of the Supplier following any drawing, design or Goods Specification supplied by the Customer;

5.4.4 the Customer alters or repairs such Goods without the written consent of the Supplier;

5.4.5 the defect arises as a result of fair wear and tear, wilful damage, negligence, or abnormal working conditions; or

5.4.6 the Goods differ from their description as a result of changes made to ensure they comply with applicable statutory or regulatory standards.

5.5 Except as provided in this clause 5, the Supplier shall have no liability to the Customer in respect of the Goods’ failure to comply with the warranties set out in clause 5.1 and 5.2.

5.6 The terms of these Conditions shall apply to any repaired or replacement Goods supplied by the Supplier.

6.Title and risk

6.1 The risk in the Goods shall pass to the Customer on completion of delivery.

6.2 Title to the Goods shall not pass to the Customer until the earlier of:

6.2.1 the Supplier receives payment in full (in cash or cleared funds) for the Goods and any other goods that the Supplier has supplied to the Customer, in which case title to the Goods shall pass at the time of payment; and

6.2.2 the Customer resells the Goods, in which case title to the Goods shall pass to the Customer at the time specified in clause 6.4.

6.3 Until title to the Goods has passed to the Customer, the Customer shall:

6.3.1 store the Goods separately from all other goods held by the Customer so that they remain readily identifiable as the Supplier’s property;

6.3.2 not remove, deface or obscure any identifying mark or packaging on or relating to the Goods;

6.3.3 maintain the Goods in satisfactory condition and keep them insured against all risks for their full price on the Supplier’s behalf from the date of delivery;

6.3.4 notify the Supplier immediately if it becomes subject to any of the events listed in clause 12.1.2 to clause 12.1.4; and

6.3.5 give the Supplier such information relating to the Goods as the Supplier may require from time to time.

6.4 Subject to clause 6.5, the Customer may resell or use the Goods in the ordinary course of its business (but not otherwise) before the Supplier receives payment for the Goods. However, if the Customer resells the Goods before that time:

6.4.1 it does so as principal and not as the Supplier’s agent; and

6.4.2 title to the Goods shall pass from the Supplier to the Customer immediately before the time at which resale by the Customer occurs.

6.5 If before title to the Goods passes to the Customer the Customer becomes subject to any of the events listed in clause 12.1.2 to clause 12.1.4, then, without limiting any other right or remedy the Supplier may have:

6.5.1 the Customer’s right to resell Goods or use them in the ordinary course of its business ceases immediately; and

6.5.2 the Supplier may at any time:

6.5.2.1 require the Customer to deliver up all Goods in its possession which have not been resold; and

6.5.2.2 if the Customer fails to do so promptly, enter any premises of the Customer or of any third party where the Goods are stored in order to recover them.

6.6 Notwithstanding the Supplier’s retention of title, and without prejudice to the Suppliers other rights set out in these Conditions, the Supplier has the right to take legal action against the Customer in order to recover the price of the Goods and any associated costs and expenses should the Customer fail to pay the Supplier by the date the payments are due.

7.Supply of Services

7.1 The Supplier shall provide, or shall procure the provision of, the Services to the Customer in accordance with the Service Specification in all material respects.

7.2 The Supplier shall use all reasonable endeavours to meet or to procure the meeting of any performance dates for the Services specified in Service Specification, but any such dates shall be estimates only and time shall not be of the essence for the performance of the Services.

7.3 The Supplier reserves the right to amend the Service Specification if necessary to comply with any applicable law or regulatory requirement, or if the amendment will not materially affect the nature or quality of the Services, and the Supplier shall notify the Customer in any such event.

7.4 The Supplier warrants to the Customer that the Services will be provided using reasonable care and skill.

7.5 The Customer acknowledges the Supplier may instruct a third party to be the Installer to supply the Services on its behalf. If so, the Customer further acknowledges the Supplier will provide information to the Installer regarding the Customer and the Services in order for the Installer to carry out the Services and confirms that the Supplier is permitted to provide such information in order to enable the Installer to provide the Services.

8.2 If the Installer’s performance of any of the obligations under the Contract is prevented or delayed by any act or omission by the Customer or failure by the Customer to perform any relevant obligation (“Customer Default”):

8.2.1 without limiting or affecting any other right or remedy available to it, the Installer shall have the right to suspend performance of the Services until the Customer remedies the Customer Default, and to rely on the Customer Default to relieve it from the performance of any of its obligations in each case to the extent the Customer Default prevents or delays the Installer’s performance of any of its obligations;

8.2.2 the Supplier shall not be liable for any costs or losses sustained or incurred by the Customer arising directly or indirectly from the Installer’s failure or delay to perform any of its obligations as set out in this clause 8.2; and

8.2.3 the Customer shall reimburse the Supplier on written demand for any costs or losses sustained or incurred by the Installer arising directly or indirectly from the Customer Default.

9.3.1.2 any request by the Customer to change the delivery date(s), quantities or types of Goods ordered, or the Goods Specification; or

10.2.1 to its employees, officers, representatives, subcontractors or advisers who need to know such information for the purposes of carrying out the party’s obligations under the Contract.

11.7 Unless the Customer notifies the Supplier that it intends to make a claim in respect of an event within the notice period, the Supplier shall have no liability for that event.

Any modification to or deletion of a provision or part-provision under this clause 15.3 shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the rest of the Contract.

15.4 Waiver. A waiver of any right or remedy under the Contract or by law is only effective if given in writing and shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent right or remedy. A failure or delay by a party to exercise any right or remedy provided under the Contract or by law shall not constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor shall it prevent or restrict any further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. No single or partial exercise of any right or remedy provided under the Contract or by law shall prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.

15.5 No partnership or agency. Nothing in the Contract is intended to, or shall be deemed to, establish any partnership or joint venture between the parties, constitute either party the agent of the other, or authorise either party to make or enter into any commitments for or on behalf of the other party.
