2. Making the Contract

2.1 The estimate which the Company provides to the Buyer comprises an invitation to treat which is open for a period of 30 days only from the date thereof, provided that the Company has not previously withdrawn it.

2.2 All orders are placed under these Conditions alone and are accepted subject to the Company's then current minimum order quantities for the particular Goods. The Company reserves the right to request advance payment in respect of raw materials for orders below such quantities.

2.3 These Conditions apply to the exclusion of any other terms and conditions (i) which a Buyer might seek to impose, even though such other terms and conditions may be submitted in a later document or purport to exclude or supersede any Conditions inconsistent with them; or (ii) as may be contained in any other acceptance or counter-offer made by the Buyer.

2.4 The Buyer shall be responsible to the Company for ensuring the accuracy of the terms of any order (including any applicable specification) submitted by the Buyer and for giving the Company any necessary information relating to the Goods within a sufficient time to enable the Company to perform the Contract in accordance with its terms.

2.5 Any advice or recommendation given by the Company or its employees or agents to the Buyer or its employees or agents as to the storage, application or use of the Goods which is not confirmed in writing by the Company is followed or acted on entirely at the Buyer's risk and accordingly the Company shall not be liable for any such advice or recommendation which is not so confirmed.

4. Price

4.1 The Company reserves the right at any time prior to delivery to adjust the price of the Goods to take account of any increase in the cost of raw materials, labour or services or any currency fluctuations affecting the cost of imported materials or any other price relevant circumstances which may not reasonably be controlled by the Company.

4.2 Unless otherwise stated all prices quoted are net ex-works where delivery takes place at the Company’s premises and in the event of delivery takes place anywhere else in the UK, all costs or charges in relation to packaging, loading, unloading, carriage and insurance shall be borne by the Buyer, in addition to the purchase price paid for the Goods. For the avoidance of doubt, all sums due to the Company under these Conditions are exclusive of VAT which shall be payable by the Buyer in addition, if applicable, in accordance with the relevant regulations in force at the time of making the taxable supply.

4.3 The cost of pallets and returnable containers will be charged to the Buyer in addition to the price of the Goods, but full credit will be given to the Buyer provided such items are returned undamaged to the Company before the due date for payment.

6. Terms of Payment

6.1 Unless the Company otherwise agrees in writing payment for Goods becomes due and payable under these Conditions 30 days EOM.

6.8 If upon the terms applicable to any order the Price shall be payable by instalments or if the Buyer has agreed to take specified quantities of Goods at specified times, a default by the Buyer of payment for any due instalment or the failure to give delivery instructions in respect of any quantity of Goods outstanding shall cause the whole of the balance of the Price to become due and payable forthwith.

7.1.1. at the Company's premises if the Buyer's transport is used; or

7.3 All times or dates given for delivery of the Goods are approximate only and the Company shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of the Goods however caused.

7.5 When delivery is agreed to be by instalments or the Company exercises its right to deliver by instalments under Clause 7.4 hereof and there is delay in the delivery of any one or more instalments for whatever reason this will not entitle the Buyer to damages or to treat the Contract as repudiated.

7.6 Deviations in quantity of the Goods delivered (representing not more than 10 per cent by value) from that stated in the order (whether surplus or shortfall) shall not give the Buyer any right to reject the Goods or to claim damages and the Buyer shall be obliged to accept and pay pro rata at the Contract rate for the quantity of the Goods delivered.

7.7 The quantity of any consignment of Goods as recorded by the Company upon despatch shall be conclusive evidence of the quantity received by the Buyer on delivery unless the Buyer can provide conclusive evidence to the contrary.

7.8 Where delivery is refused by the Buyer or is delayed or suspended at the request of the Buyer or where the Company is unable to deliver the Goods due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control, the Company on giving notification of its readiness to deliver shall be entitled either to:-

7.8.1 treat the Contract as fulfilled and place the Goods into storage. Delivery will be deemed to have taken place for invoicing payment and the passing of risk. The reasonable cost of storage and insurance of the Goods shall be for the Buyer's account; or

9. Inspection/Shortages

9.1 Where delivery occurs in accordance with clause 7.1.1 or clause 8, the Buyer shall be responsible for arranging for testing and inspection of the Goods at the Company’s premises before shipment.

9.2 Where delivery occurs in accordance with clause 7.1.2, the Buyer is under a duty wherever possible to inspect the Goods on delivery.

9.3 No liability will attach to the Company for non-delivery, partial loss or damage to the Goods occurring prior to delivery or for any claim that the Goods are not in accordance with the Contract unless claims to that effect are notified in writing by the Buyer to the Company (and in the case of claims for non-delivery, partial loss or damage with a copy to the carrier if the Company's transport has not been used to deliver the Goods):

13.4.2 under section 2(3) of the Consumer Protection Act 1987;
