2. The Contract
2.1 These Terms and Conditions govern the sale of all Goods by us and will form the basis of the Contract between you and us
2.2 If you wish to place an Order with us, you may do so via the Website which will guide you through the ordering process or via email or phone call. Before submitting your Order to us, or accepting a Quotation you will be given the opportunity to review and amend it. Please ensure that you have checked your Order or Quotation and that you have read these Terms and Conditions carefully before submitting or accepting it. If you are unsure about any part of these Terms and Conditions, please ask us for clarification.
2.3 No part of our Website constitutes a contractual offer capable of acceptance. Your Order constitutes a contractual offer that we may, at our sole discretion, accept. Our acceptance is indicated by us sending you an Order Confirmation by email. Only once we have sent you an Order Confirmation will there be a legally binding Contract between you and us.
2.4 If, for any reason, we do not accept or cannot fulfil your Order, no payment will be taken under normal circumstances. If we have taken payment, any such sums will be refunded to you as soon as possible (and in any event, within 14 days).
2.5 Once your Order has been accepted as detailed in clause 2.3, we cannot accept any changes to it.
3 Orders and Specifications
3.1 The quantity, quality and description of and any specification for the Goods will be as set out in our Quotation.
3.2 If the Goods are not in stock or are only partially in stock when the Contract is formed, we will contact you to advise of this and to ask if you would prefer us to deliver the Goods in instalments as they arrive in stock or if you would prefer to wait for the entire delivery when we have all the Goods in stock. Please note each part-delivery may incur separate delivery costs.
3.3 We reserve the right to make any changes in the specification of the Goods that may be required to conform to any applicable safety or other legal or regulatory requirements without notice.
3.4 Any illustrations, photographs or descriptions we provide, whether on our website or in catalogues, brochures, price lists or other documents issued by us are intended as a guide only and shall not be binding.
3.5 It is your responsibility to ensure that any use of the Goods by you is in compliance with all instructions and manuals issued by us, and any applicable statutory requirements.
3.6 It will be your responsibility to ensure that the Goods being supplied are suitable for the use for which they are intended. We cannot guarantee that the Goods will be fit for any such purpose and can additionally not be held responsible for any improper use of the Goods, nor for any failure by you to use the Goods in accordance with UK fire health and safety legislation.
4 Price and Payment
4.1 You may be able to apply for a credit account with us, at our discretion and subject to a satisfactory credit check. Specific payment terms will then be agreed by us and set out to you. Please note that such payment terms may be subject to change from time to time. We may revoke any credit limit we offer at any time.
4.2 We reserve the right to request payment up front if you do not have an account with us, if you exceed your credit limit, if for any reason, we are not satisfied of your creditworthiness, or if we so decide at our sole discretion. In this event, no Goods will be released for delivery until such time as any pro-forma invoice issued by us has been paid in full.
4.3 The price of the Goods will be that shown on our Website at the time of your Order, or as otherwise quoted to you. Our prices may change at any time, but these changes will not affect any Orders that we have already accepted.
4.4 We have made every reasonable effort to ensure that the prices on our Website are correct. If we find, or are made aware of, any typographical, clerical or other accidental errors or omissions on our Website, we will make every reasonable effort to correct such errors or omissions as soon as is reasonably possible.
4.5 If there is an obvious pricing error on our Website, we will be under no obligation to provide the Goods to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you an Order Confirmation, if the price error is unmistakable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mispricing. Prices will be checked when we process your Order.
4.6 All prices exclude VAT, where applicable, unless expressly indicated. If the rate of VAT changes between the date of your Order and the date of your payment, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you must pay. Changes in VAT will not affect any prices where we have already received payment in full from you.
4.7 Delivery charges are not included in the price of the Goods unless otherwise agreed. Delivery options and any related charges will be presented to you as part of the Order process. Payment for Goods ordered via the Website and any related delivery charges must always be made at the time of Order and you will be prompted to pay during the Order process.
4.8 All payments made via the Website will go through a payment gateway provider, such as Stripe, or any invoice due will be paid via BACS. No credit or debit card information is provided to us and completion of the transaction will be subject to you agreeing to the payment gateway provider’s terms and conditions. A separate contractual relationship will be created between you and this third party and we cannot be held liable for any errors, actions, omissions or incorrect charges that may be made by them.
4.9 The time for the payment is of the essence of the Contract. If you do not make payment to us by the due date, then without prejudice to any other rights or remedies available to us, we will have the right to cancel any order(s) in progress, suspend any further deliveries to you, and charge you interest on the overdue sum at the rate of 8% per annum above the Bank of England base lending rate from time to time. Interest will accrue on a daily basis from the due date for payment until the actual date of payment of the overdue sum, whether before or after judgment. We will also charge for any costs we may incur in attempting to recover any outstanding sum.
5 Delivery
We will only deliver to mainland UK addresses, unless expressly agreed otherwise by us. If we cannot fulfil your Order, clause 2.4 will apply.
5.1 Orders being delivered by standard delivery will normally be despatched within 7 days after the date of our Order Confirmation.
5.2 Where we have agreed to timed delivery, we will use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that the Order will arrive within the specified timeframe, however, we cannot guarantee this will be possible.
5.3 In any event, if your Order has not arrived by the estimated delivery date, please contact us as soon as possible so we can investigate.
5.4 If the Goods are not in stock when the Contract is formed, we will contact you to advise of this and to ask if you would prefer us to deliver the Goods in instalments as they arrive in stock or if you would prefer to wait for the entire delivery when we have all the Goods in stock. Please note each part-delivery may incur separate delivery costs.
5.5 If no-one is available to accept the delivery, our courier service will leave a delivery note explaining how to rearrange delivery or where to collect the Goods. The redelivery may be chargeable.
5.6 If you do not rearrange any failed delivery within 7 days, we will contact you to ask you how you wish to proceed. If we cannot contact you or arrange redelivery, we may treat the Contract as cancelled and recover any Goods you have not yet paid for. We may also charge you for any reasonable additional costs that we incur in recovering the Goods.
5.7 Delivery will be deemed to have taken place when the Goods have been delivered to the delivery address indicated in your Order and you (or someone identified by you) have taken physical possession of the Goods.
5.8 The responsibility (sometimes referred to as the “risk”) for the Goods remains with us until delivery is complete, at which point it will pass to you. You will own the Goods only once we have received payment in full of all sums due (including any delivery charges).
6 Faulty, Damaged or Incorrect Goods
6.1 To return any faulty, damaged or incorrect Goods to us under this clause 6, please contact us to arrange for the return. We will be fully responsible for the costs of returning Goods under this clause 6 and will reimburse you where appropriate.
6.2 Refunds under this clause 6 will be issued within 14 calendar days of the day on which we agree that you are entitled to the refund.
6.3 Any and all refunds issued under this clause 6 will include all delivery costs paid by you when the Goods were originally purchased and will be made using the same payment method that you used when ordering the Goods, unless you specifically request that we use a different method.
7 Cancelling and Returning Goods if You Change Your Mind
7.1 If you are a Consumer, you have a legal right to a 14 day “cooling-off” period within which you can cancel the Contract for any reason. This period begins once your Order is complete and we have sent you your Order Confirmation, i.e. when the Contract between you and us is formed. You may also cancel before we send the Order Confirmation.
7.2 To return Goods to us, please contact us to obtain details of the returns procedure. Please note that you must bear the costs of returning Goods to us if cancelling under this clause 7.2. We will reimburse standard delivery charges in full as part of your refund. However, we cannot reimburse for premium delivery.
7.3 Refunds under this clause 7 will be issued to you within 14 calendar days from the day on which we receive the Goods back;
8 Cancellations by Us
8.1 We may cancel your Order at any time before we dispatch the Goods to you, if the Goods are no longer in stock and we are unable to re-stock (if, for example, the Goods are discontinued); or if an event outside of our control occurs (please see clause 10 for events outside of our control).
8.2 If we cancel your Order and you have already paid for the Goods under clause 4, the payment will be refunded to you within 14 days. If we cancel your Order, the cancellation will be confirmed by us in writing.
