2. BASIS OF CONTRACT
2.1 These Conditions apply to the Contract to the exclusion of any other terms that the Customer seeks to impose or incorporate, or which are
implied by trade, custom, practice or course of dealing.
2.2 The Order constitutes an offer by the Customer to purchase the Goods in accordance with these Conditions. The Customer is responsible
for ensuring that the terms of the Order are complete and accurate.
2.3 The Order shall only be deemed to be accepted when the Supplier issues a written acceptance of the Order, at which point the Contract
shall come into existence.
2.4 The Customer waives any right it might otherwise have to rely on any term endorsed upon, delivered with or contained in any documents
of the Customer that is inconsistent with these Conditions.
2.5 Any samples, drawings, descriptive matter or advertising produced by the Supplier and any descriptions or illustrations contained in the
Supplier's catalogues or brochures are produced for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the Goods referred to in them. They shall
not form part of the Contract nor have any contractual force.
2.6 For the avoidance of doubt, excluding where the Supplier accepts to supply the Goods under clause 2.3 :
2.6.1 the Supplier does not have any obligation to supply the Customer with any Goods, regardless of whether the Customer has an Account
with the Supplier or not; and
2.6.2 the Supplier is free to decline any Order.


3. GOODS
3.1 The Goods are described in the Supplier's catalogue.
3.2 The Supplier reserves the right to amend the specification of the Goods if required by any applicable statutory or regulatory requirements.


4. DELIVERY
4.1 The Supplier shall ensure that each delivery of the Goods is accompanied by a delivery note that shows the date of the Order, the Supplier
reference numbers, the type and quantity of the Goods (including the code number of the Goods, where applicable), special storage instructions
(if any) and, if the Goods are being delivered by instalments, the outstanding balance of Goods remaining to be delivered
4.2 The Supplier shall deliver the Goods to the location set out in the Account Application Form or, if no such location is stated, the location set
out in the Order, or such other location as the parties may agree in writing ("Delivery Location").
4.3 Delivery is completed on the completion of unloading of the Goods at the Delivery Location.
4.4 Any dates quoted for delivery 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.
4.5 Any claim for:
4.5.1 shortage in delivery shall be notified in writing to the Supplier by the Customer within 3 Business Days of delivery of the Goods; and

Supplier.
4.6 Subject to clause 4.5 , if the Supplier fails to deliver the Goods, its liability shall be limited to the costs and expenses incurred by the Customer
in obtaining replacement goods of similar description and quality in the cheapest market available, less the price of the Goods.
4.7 If the Customer fails to accept delivery of the Goods within five 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 the Supplier's failure to comply with its obligations under
the Contract:
4.7.1 delivery of the Goods shall be deemed to have been completed at 9.00 am on the fifth Business Day after the day on which the Supplier
notified the Customer that the Goods were ready; and
4.7.2 the Supplier shall store the Goods until delivery takes place, and charge the Customer for all related costs and expenses (including
insurance).
4.8 If ten Business Days after the day on which the Supplier notified the Customer that the Goods were ready for delivery the Customer has not
accepted delivery of them, the Supplier may resell or otherwise dispose of part or all of the Goods.
4.9 The Supplier may deliver the Goods by instalments, which shall be invoiced and paid for separately. Any delay in delivery or defect in an
instalment shall not entitle the Customer to cancel any other instalment.


5. CANCELLATION AND RETURNS
5.1 The Customer shall not be entitled to cancel the Contract or, subject to clause 6 , return any Goods that have been delivered without the prior
written consent of the Supplier. The Supplier reserves the right to charge the Customer for all costs and expenses incurred by the Supplier as at
the date of cancellation.
5.2 If the Supplier agrees in writing that the Customer can return Goods:
5.2.1 the Customer shall return the Goods in their original packaging to the Supplier's place of business or other address nominated in writing by
the Supplier at the Customer's cost; and
5.2.2 a restocking charge of 20% of the price of the Goods will be payable by the Customer if the items are returned 14 days after the receipt of goods. Customers returning goods within 14 days of delivery will recieve a full refund.

Supplier by the Customer. If, following such set off, there remains an amount due to the Customer, such amount may only be claimed by the
Customer in the form of goods. No cash payment will be made to the Customer.

with the warranty set out in clause 6.1 ;

Customer in respect of which payment has become due, in which case title to the Goods shall pass at the time of payment of all such sums; and

recover them.

delivery, minus any discounts agreed in advance and in writing by the Supplier in respect of the relevant Goods.
