Prices are quoted in pounds sterling and orders are accepted at prices ruling at date of dispatch. Prices are liable to change without notice. Where chargeable, Value Added Tax will be charged at the rate applicable at the date the Goods are dispatched. Errors and omissions excepted.
Where a price per unit has been quoted and the Buyer requires a smaller number of units to be delivered than those quoted for, the Company reserves the right to adjust the rates of prices applicable thereto.
In the event of termination, variation or suspension of a contract on the Buyer’s instruction or by lack of instruction, the contract price will be adjusted to reflect the additional costs incurred by the Company.
Prospective buyers wishing to open a credit account are requested to complete and sign an Application for Credit Account form.
The Proprietor(s), Partner(s) or an authorised employee (if a Limited Company), must sign the application form. Until an application form has been received and a credit account is approved (in writing) orders will not be accepted until cleared funds have been received.
New accounts will be activated with a one off ProForma invoice.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, all accounts are to be paid in full by the last working day of the month following the month in which delivery of the Goods takes place. The Company, at its discretion, reserves the right to charge interest on accounts outstanding beyond the time specified in this condition. The rate of interest will be 2.5% per month over Barclays Bank base rate on all accounts not settled within the Company terms or as shown on invoice.
Risk shall pass to the Customer when the Goods are delivered. Title in the Goods shall pass to the Customer when full payment has been made. The Buyer grants the Company, its agents and employees an irrevocable licence at any time to enter any premises where the Goods are or may be stored in order to inspect them, or where the Buyer’s right to possession has terminated, to recover them.
Goods supplied will be within the usual commercial limits for any physical or chemical or other properties, but such properties shall not be construed in any way whatsoever as a warranty and no warranty shall be implied as to the fitness or suitability of the Goods for any particular purpose.
