For the avoidance of doubt, acceptance by Us of Your order shall not imply acceptance by Us of any terms and conditions accompanying, endorsed upon or relating to any such order. No contract for the sale of goods shall be concluded until We have issued an Acknowledgement of Order. Our acceptance of Your sales order is confirmed by an Acknowledgement of Order which shall be deemed conclusive evidence of Your acceptance of these Conditions.

3. Orders

a) are based upon the cost of materials, utilities, transport and labour at the date of the quotation;

b) are subject to these Conditions;

c) are valid for 30 days from the date of the quotation unless We have otherwise specified in writing;

d) do not constitute an offer to supply the Goods.

3.2: You must ensure that all the details You include in an order are complete and accurate.  Each of Your orders for Goods constitutes an offer to purchase the Goods subject to these Conditions. After we receive an Order from You either in writing, by email, by telephone or by word of mouth, we will communicate to You by email or by written acknowledgement whether or not we will accept Your order. Our acceptance of Your order means that a contract has been set up between You and Us. No Contract shall be set up without either a written or emailed confirmation. We may use our discretion to refuse an Order particularly in circumstances where we have insufficient goods available to satisfy your Order or when there are unpaid invoices in your name, or when your creditworthiness is unacceptable to Us.  A Contract set up shall be binding on both You and Us and You have no right to change it any way whatsoever.

4. Goods

All descriptions and illustrations contained in Our website, catalogue(s), price list(s) and /or advertisements or otherwise communicated to You are intended to present a general idea of the Goods described and not intended to form part of the Contract or have any contractual force. If a sample of Goods supplied but not manufactured by Us was inspected by You, You agree that such samples were inspected solely to enable You to judge for yourself the general quality of the Goods and not so as to constitute a sale by sample. We reserve the right to make substitutions and modifications to the specifications of the Goods, provided that this does not materially affect their performance.   

5. Price

5.1: The price of Goods shall be as is stated by Us in the Acknowledgment of Order and is net of VAT at the appropriate rate.

5.3: We reserve the right at any time before delivery of the Goods to revise the price (to reflect changes in costs of raw materials, transport, labour etc) except in the case that a fixed price has been agreed with you.  We shall notify You as soon as possible of any price alteration and this will serve to vary the Contract. Where the price alteration exceeds 10% of the net price of Goods, You shall have the right to cancel the order, provided such cancellation is received within 7 days of the Order.  

6. Cancellation

You may only cancel the Contract with Our prior written consent and prior to the dispatch of the Goods. If We agree to Your request to cancel the Contract (other than in the case of our price increase under section 5 of these Conditions), a cancellation charge of 20% of the agreed price will be levied to cover handling, administration and other costs incurred by Us.

8.4: If You require advance notice of the approximate time of delivery, this must be requested in writing on Your Order.

8.5: All dates quoted for delivery shall be estimate only. Time of delivery shall not be of the essence.

We shall not be liable for any delay in delivery as a result thereof.  

8.7: If We fail to deliver the Goods, Our liability shall be limited to the costs and expenses incurred by You in obtaining replacement goods of similar description and quality in the cheapest market available, less the price of the Goods. We 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 Your failure to provide Us with adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the Goods.
