BASIS OF THE SALE
The Seller shall sell and the
Buyer shall purchase the Goods in accordance with any written quotation of the
Seller which is accepted by the Buyer, or any written order of the Buyer which
is accepted by the Seller, subject in either case to these Conditions, which
shall govern the Contract to the exclusion of any other terms and conditions
subject to which any such quotation is accepted or purported to be accepted, or
any such order is made or purported to be made, by the Buyer.
No variation to these
Conditions shall be binding unless agreed in Writing between the authorised
representatives of the Buyer and the Seller.
The Seller’s employees
or agents are not authorised to make any representations concerning the Goods
unless confirmed by the Seller in Writing. In entering into the Contract the
Buyer acknowledges that it does not rely on any such representations which are
not so confirmed. Any advice or recommendation given by the Seller or its
employees or agents to the Buyer or its employees or agents as to the
hardware, software application or use of the Goods which is not confirmed in Writing
by the Seller is followed or acted upon entirely at the Buyer’s own risk,
and accordingly the Seller shall not be liable for any such advice or recommendation
which is not so confirmed. Any typographical, clerical or other error or
omission in any sales literature, quotation, price list, acceptance of offer,
invoice or other document or information issued by the Seller shall be subject
to correction without any liability on the part of the Seller.
ORDERS AND SPECIFICATIONS
No
order submitted by the Buyer shall be deemed to be accepted by the Seller
unless and until confirmed in Writing by the Seller’s authorised
representative.
Goods
are not supplied to the Buyer on a trial basis. It is the sole responsibility
of the Buyer to verify the suitability and compatibility of equipment before
purchasing the Goods.
The
Buyer shall be responsible to the Seller for ensuring the accuracy of the terms
of any order (including any applicable specification) submitted by the Buyer,
and for giving the Seller any necessary information relating to the Goods
within a sufficient time to enable the Seller to perform the Contract in
accordance with its terms.
The
quantity, quality and description of and any specification for the Goods shall
be those set out in the Seller’s quotation (if accepted by the Buyer) or
the Buyer’s order (if accepted by the Seller).
If
any process is to be applied to the Goods by the Seller in accordance with a
specification submitted by the Buyer, the Buyer shall indemnify the Seller
against all loss, damages, costs and expenses awarded against or incurred by
the Seller in connection with or paid or agreed to be paid by the Seller in
settlement of any claim for infringement of any patent, copyright, design,
trade mark or other industrial or intellectual property rights of any other
person which results from the Seller’s use of the Buyer’s
specification.
The Seller reserves the right
to make any changes in the specification of the Goods which are required to
conform with any applicable statutory or EC
requirements or, where the Goods are to be supplied to the Seller’s
specification, which do not materially affect their quality or performance.
No order which has been
accepted by the Seller may be cancelled by the Buyer except with the agreement
in Writing of the Seller and on terms that the Buyer shall indemnify the Seller
in full against all loss (including loss of profit), costs (including the cost
of all labour and materials used), damages, charges and expenses incurred by
the Seller as a result of cancellation.
PRICE OF THE GOODS
The
price of the Goods shall be the Seller’s quoted price or, where no price
has been quoted (or a quoted price is no longer valid), the price listed in the
Seller’s published price list current at the date of acceptance of the
order. All prices quoted are valid for 3 days only or until earlier acceptance
by the Buyer, after which time they may be altered by the Seller without giving
notice to the Buyer.
The
Seller reserves the right, by giving notice to the Buyer at any time before
delivery, to increase the price of the Goods to reflect any increase in the
cost to the Seller which is due to any factor beyond the control of the Seller
(such as, without limitation, any foreign exchange fluctuation, currency
regulation, alteration of duties, significant increase in the costs of labour,
materials or other costs of manufacture), any change in delivery dates,
quantities or specifications for the Goods which is requested by the Buyer, or
any delay caused by any instructions of the Buyer or failure of the Buyer to
give the Seller adequate information or instructions.
Except
as otherwise stated under the terms of any quotation or in any price list of
the Seller, and unless otherwise agreed in Writing between the Buyer and the
Seller, all prices are given by the Seller on an ex works basis, and where the
Seller agrees to deliver the Goods otherwise than at the Seller’s
premises, the Buyer shall be liable to pay the Seller’s charges for
transport, packaging and insurance.
RISK AND PROPERTY
Risk of damage to or loss of
the Goods shall pass to the Buyer:
in
the case of Goods to be delivered at the Seller’s premises, at the time
when the Seller notifies the Buyer that the Goods are available for collection;
or the case of Goods to be delivered otherwise than at the Seller’s
premises, at the time of delivery or, if the Buyer wrongfully fails to take
delivery of the Goods, the time when the Seller has tendered delivery of the
Goods.
Notwithstanding
delivery and the passing of risk in the Goods, or any other provision of these
Conditions, the property in the Goods shall not pass to the Buyer until the
Seller has received in cash or cleared funds payment in full of the price of
the Goods and all other goods agreed to be sold by the Seller to the Buyer for
which payment is then due.
Until
such time as the property in the Goods passes to the Buyer, the Buyer shall
hold the Goods as the Seller’s fiduciary agent and bailiff, and shall
keep the Goods separate from those of the Buyer and third parties and properly
stored, protected and insured and identified as the Seller’s property,
but shall be entitled to resell or use the Goods in the ordinary course of its
business.
Until
such time as the property in the Goods passes to the Buyer (and provided the
Goods are still in existence and have not been resold), the Seller shall be
entitled at any time to require the Buyer to deliver up the Goods to the Seller
and, if the Buyer fails to do so forthwith, to enter upon any premises of the
Buyer or any third party where the Goods are stored and repossess the Goods.
The Buyer shall not be
entitled to pledge or in any way charge by way of security for any indebtedness
any of the Goods which remain the property of the Seller, but if the Buyer does
so all monies owing by the Buyer to the Seller shall (without prejudice to any
other right or remedy of the Seller) forthwith become due and payable.
